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

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.
