(Double Click On the Photo For More Details Information):


Insect Powder is a specially formulated mixture of insect food and eggs of a selected insect that is well liked by your swiftlets.

The insect that will be generated from the powder will reproduced by itself and contineous until the food media is totally eaten. When there are more insect flying from the provided container there will be signs that your swiftlets will be flying around it.

Your young birds who have just started to fly will be able to learn to catch these insects once the insect starts to fly out of the container.

Insect Powder is a very powerful instrument in luring/traping swiftlets that are flying close or above your new birdhouse. Once they are attracted to these insects they will visit your new birdhouse and some might consider migrating to your building.

Insect Powder can also improve the speed of new nest building. This is mainly due to the fact the it allows the swiftlet to feed on readily available food that is not dependent on the season.

How To Use Them:

Place the INSECT POWDER into the container and mixed evenly in a ratio of 2 kilo of powder with 4 liters of plain water. The best location to place the container is in the roving area or any other areas that can attract young swiftlets to be lured into your new birdhouse.

Cover the contained with mesh cloth or wire mesh of 0.5 cm size to prevent rats or birds from entering but allowing insects to fly out. Add two glasses of water every 2 weeks to ensure that the breeding is continuous until the food is totally consumed.

Once the mixture is added with water, give 1 week for the first lava to appear and will turned into pupa. By the 2nd week the pupa will produce insect that will fly out to become the ultimate food for your swiftlets. This will continue to happen for at least 3-6 months. For better effectivenes, we recommend you to place more then one container around the house but try to activated them within 1-2 weeks apart after the 1st container being activated.

The type of insect produced is well liked by your swiftlet and your swiftlet need not fly far away to find their food.

Insect Powder is recommended to be used during all seasons or very dry seasons when their food are scares. It is provent to be very helpful to many birdhouse owners where it allows a speedy nests building for all kind of seasons (dry or rainy).

Price: Around RM 120 Per 5 Kilogram plus a plastic container.

The above descriptions are for your information and I do not guarantee that it will work however using common sense it is a good choice.

I would imagine that it you have this insect powder, the birds will prefer your house as compaired to your neighbors. See you not only provide a place to stay but with meals too. He he he ....

If you wanted to try something, this will be something to consider.

Remember I am using this blog to dessimate things that I learned and wanted to share with swiftlet ranchers like you. If something is good then why not we share them....
