Grain Storage Insects: Lots This Year

One little, two little, three little critters

This has been a bad year for bugs in grain. It's a little late but I've posted the Manitoba Ag Fact sheet on the "critters" and control. It's pretty good

Two notes;

  1. You can destroy these things with cold. Read the factsheet on that.

  2. Insecto/Protect It and some other products on the market are 90% diatomaceous earth. They price out at $100 or so per bag (10kg). Diatomaceous earth at a feed supply prices at $35 (or so) per bag (25kg).
