Peter,
 
   If you have further need for information, KNOX OUT 2 FM is the usual
product bought by pesticide operators in the U.S.  The manufacturer is the
WHITMIRE Research Laboratories, Inc. in St. Louis, Missouri, with a
telephone:  (314) 225-5371.  They will likely be willing to provide
pertinent details about the product.
