PRODUCTION OF INSECTICIDE IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME

INSECTICIDE -- DEFINITION AND USES

 Insecticide is a substance used to kill insects. They include 

ovicides and larvicides used against insect eggs and larvae, respectively. Insecticides are used in agriculture, medicine, industry and by consumers. Insecticides are claimed to be a major factor behind the increase in agricultural 20th century's productivity. Nearly all insecticides have the potential to significantly alter ecosystems; many are toxic to humans; some concentrate along the food chain.

Insecticides can be classified in two major groups namely: systemic insecticides(which have residual or long term activity) and contact insecticides(which have no residual activity).

Furthermore, one can distinguish three types of insecticide as follows:

1.Natural insecticides,such as nicotine, pyrethrum and neem extracts, made by plants as defenses against insects. 

2. Inorganic insecticides, which are metals. 

3. Organic insecticides, which are organic chemical compounds, mostly working by contact.

You can produce your own insecticide at home for use or for sale using the following steps.

N/B: Quantities of the chemical to be used depends on the amount of insecticide you intend to produce, but the major materials are the same.

A.  CHEMICALS

1. D. FORCE (D.D.V.P.)
2. INDUSTRIAL CAMPHOR
3. KEROSENE
4. FORMALIN

COMPOSITION FOR ONE LITRE OF INSECTICIDE

1. 75cl of Kerosene
2. 200g of Industrial Camphor
3. 10mls of Formalin
4. 25cl of D.D. Force

PREPARATION

1. Put the 75cl of Kerosene in a bottle
2. Add 25cl of D.D. Force
3. Add 200g of Industrial Camphor
4. Finally, add 10mls of Formalin
5. Mix together vigorously
6. Pour into your packaging materials
7. Cover it up with caps and label it.

B.  CHEMICALS

1. D.D Force/Mulvap 

2. Sniper

3. Industrial camphor

4. Formalin

5. Kerosene

6. IPA

7. Color

COMPOSITION FOR 5 LITRES OF INSECTICIDE(It depends on how strong you want the insecticide to be)

1. D.D Force/Mulvap ———- (125cl)
2. Sniper ——————  1000g 
3. Industrial Camphor – ——- 2kg
4. Formalin——————— 1/2 (But use 1/16, to avoid Formalin peppering one’s eyes. 
5. Kerosene——————– 5 Liters
6. IPA ————————- 1/2 Liter
7. Color ———————— As Desired (you can do without it)
8. Perfume ——————– As Desired (same; it is by choice)

Step 1: Pour the Kerosene into a big bowl, enough to allow stirring.

Step 2: Pour all the Industrial Camphor into the Kerosene for at least 30 minute or more before production. This is to enable it devolve properly in the Kerosene.

Step 3: Carefully pour the Mulvap into the kerosene

Step 4: Carefully pour the Sniper into the kerosene too

Step 5: Add all the IPA

Step 6: Add Perfume to satisfaction

Step 7: Add Color to satisfaction

NOTE: The color you be dissolved in water first before adding it to the mixture.
