Insects and mites have a waxy protective layer on their body to prevent themselves from drying out.
Mitex is a made up from fossilised diatoms (algae). Diatoms have thousands of microscopic sharp edges, which can penetrate that waxy protective layer, consequently dehydrating and killing the insects and mites.
Mitex is a highly effective and safe way of controlling red mite infestation and disrupting red mite life cycle.
Not all DE are the same, we manufacture Mitex with high quality material to ensure safe and effective use.
