I haven't used that particular product, but the primary active ingredient is pyrethrin. You can find any number of products containing pyrethrin or sythetic pyrethroids at your local garden center. It's a fairly effective insecticide--contact only, no systemic action--but because of its very specific mode of action, insect populations develop resistance quite readily. If you use pyrethrin frequently, it would be best to alternate another insecticide.

Thanks for the response, Nick. I was wondering about the effects of the addition of DE in this product.

Interesting. I never did any research into DE. When we lived in Fort Lauderdale, we used it for pool filtration.
Casper the Wonder Cat will not appreciate eating this, LOL! You know cats - "What have *they* done to my *food*?!? I must retrain my slaves at the earliest convenience!".
