Abstract: Example dry insecticide mixtures, distributors that contain a dry insecticide mixture, and methods of distributing a dry insecticide in a structure, such as an animal confining structure, are described. Dry insecticide mixtures include sodium bisulfate and a dry insecticide. An example dry insecticide mixture includes a first layer comprising sodium bisulfate and diatomaceous earth and a second layer consisting essentially of diatomaceous earth. The weight ratio of diatomaceous earth to sodium bisulfate in the dry insecticide mixture is between about 1:10 and about 1:2.

Abstract: A relatively thick shelf covering for use with wire-frame shelves. The material is sufficiently thick to prevent objects from falling through or tilting into the spaces between the gratings of a wire-frame shelf. The material is also flexible enough to be sold in rolls. The material is also impervious to water and most common household chemicals.
