Sirius is a new product for the control of red mite by physical rather than chemical means. It has long been known that diatomaceous earth (silicon dioxide) is effective as an insecticide. Thanks to the abrasive properties that make it useful in everything from toothpaste to metal polish, it cuts into the insect’s cuticle, resulting in desiccation and death.
In powder form, though, it is messy and inconvenient to use. And because red mites hide away in tiny cracks and crevices, its effect has always been limited - until now.
Sirius combines the abrasive qualities of silicon dioxide with the penetrating power of a silicon-based super-wetter, which delivers it deep into the smallest nooks and crannies, hunting down the parasites in their hiding places.
For the first time, the organic producer has a weapon against red mite that rivals the effectiveness of chemical insecticides. Several major names have already conducted successful trials, and as sole UK distributors, we’d be delighted to help you join them. Simply contact us for all the details, and together, let’s get Sirius about red mite control.
