DIACON® controls Lesser Grain Borers at Washington Wheat Warehouse

Jim Bafus, manager of Almira Farmers Warehouse Co., used several insect control products in the past, but since trying DIACON® he has finally succeeded in combating the destructive insects.

“DIACON® far surpasses other products,” said Jim. “We wanted long-term control of Lesser Grain Borers and other insects in hard-to-treat areas such as grain elevator shafts. Since using DIACON®, we have seen zero reinfestation.”

“Treating insect infestations with DIACON® saves me a lot of grief. I have peace of mind knowing that once it’s done, I won’t see any more infested stored wheat. Grain has remained in the same location for up to two years at a time, with no insect problems,” said Bafus.“Occasionally with other products, we noticed residual chemicals left on the product, which buyers balked at. But with DIACON® we have had no complaints.”

Jim’s positive experience with DIACON® has made him a proponent of the use of insect growth regulators.“Insect growth regulators solve the problem of Lesser Grain Borer resistance by killing developing insects and sterilizing the adults. It’s hard to build up a resistance when they can’t pass their genes along.”
