If you’re building, remodeling or just spiffing up a house where insects are a problem, this product can be a lifesaver for human types and a dead ringer for the bugs.
Walla Walla Environmental Inc. has launched CPF-2D, a new insecticide additive for exterior paints that provides long-term insecticide protection. The product can be added to paint, latex and solvent-based stains, preservatives and clear sealants at the time of purchase.
Nicknamed “bug juice” because insects literally “drink” it into their nervous systems through the sticky membranes on their feet, CPF-2D continually kills bugs for the life of the coating. Because dust build-up can create a barrier between the bugs’ feet and the insecticide, Walla Walla recommends rinsing the coated surface once a year with water.
This lethal mosquito punch — which is not toxic to pets or people, by the way — can be purchased in paint stores nationwide. You can also order the economically priced CPF-2D online at the Walla Walla Environmental Web site. Try it; your bugs will hate it.
