insect powder

"I hang cakes of napthaline in the rooms, and put balls of it in all boxes, drawers, and cupboards, and they don't seem to like napthaline, though they would come a thousand miles to eat ordinary insect powder, which is, apparently, just the very thing on which to bring up a nice little family of forty or fifty young cockroaches."

The insecticides of choice were insect powder (Permethrin), Snipper (2,3-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate) and Nuvan: Dichlorovos (2,2-dichloro-vinyl dimethylphosphate).

Following complaints by residents that there have been a large number of ants in gardens, Swadlingcote Urban Council in Derbyshire have offered to supply residents with free insect powder to enable them to fight the insects.

Meanwhile, the city of Amsterdam signed a strategic cooperation with an entrepreneurial company, Jagran, to build an insect factory or farm to process organic waste into insect powders and ingredients.
