I have no idea what it is called, but we use an oil based product in the chutes - seems to stick better -especially if it rains.

Yes. I've used the malathion with diesel fuel on back rubs. The minerals with Altosid works pretty good also but the trick is to get them started on it early or I see little to no help. Around here I'll start it around the first of April, but as warm as it has been this week I may wish I had put it out earlier.
