Viper Insect Dust, manufactured by Control Solutions Inc., is an effective dust insecticide designed to eliminate over 60 types of insects and parasites from livestock, dogs and home gardens.

This powerful dust insecticide provides versatile application on listed animals and plants to quickly relieve problematic pest infestations.

Viper Insect Dust saves time and money by simply being shaken over the infested animal like dogs or horses and plants such as ornamentals or vegetables. It features the active ingredient permethrin 0.25%, which is greatly effective against pests like tomato fruit worms by overstimulating the nervous system leading to eventual death of the insect.

Use of a handheld power duster equipment is prohibited.
