Azatek Insect and Pest Controller harnesses the powerful, mechanical action of food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE) for ultimate insect control. This ingenious powder is composed of the fossilized remains of tiny aquatic organisms, called diatoms, whose microscopic edges are razor-sharp on a cellular level. When insects like ants, cockroaches, bed bugs, fleas, and slugs crawl through the fine dust, these sharp particles lacerate their protective exoskeletons and waxy outer layer. This causes them to dehydrate and perish, effectively eliminating the pest without the use of harsh chemical toxins.
This physical mode of action ensures pests cannot develop a resistance, making it a reliably effective solution year after year. Azatek is enhanced with the natural repellent power of peppermint oil. Its strong aroma acts as a powerful deterrent, discouraging insects from ever entering treated areas and providing a dual-action defense. Simply dust the powder in dry areas where pests travel or hide, such as along baseboards, under appliances, or in garden rows. Safe for use around children and pets when used as directed, Azatek Insect and Pest Controller is your natural, non-toxic secret weapon for a pest-free home and garden.
