Abstract
A method for killing arthropods may include providing a mineral composition to a substrate that arthropods will contact, wherein the mineral composition is not a carrier for chemical toxin. The mineral composition may include an aluminosilicate particulate, wherein contact between the mineral composition and an arthropod results in death of the arthropod. A composition for killing arthropods may include a mineral composition for associating with a substrate. The mineral composition may include at least one of an aluminosilicate particulate and a diatomaceous earth particulate, wherein the mineral composition is not a carrier for a chemical toxin. The mineral composition may have a median particle size dof 10 μm or less. A system for killing arthropods may include a mineral composition including at least one of an aluminosilicate particulate and a diatomaceous earth particulate. The system may further include a substrate, wherein the mineral composition is associated with the substrate.
