Darlex Insecticide is a liquid formulation used to control darkling beetles and bed bugs. In poultry houses, it is applied via band application, crack and crevice application, spot treatment, or interior broadcast spraying. For bed bugs, it is applied as a coarse spray around hiding areas such as cracks, crevices, slats, nest boxes, and door frames.
