The insect frass i buy is ground up exoskeletons of beetles. It works wonders. I buy it at the local hydroponic store. The frass also works as a insecticide, tricking smaller pests into thinking beetles are on the plants As far as compost tea goes i use xtreme tea because it works better than just puttin compost or manure in a sock and letting it steep. It also comes with an activator which i believe is dried molasses. Plus it is vegan so when you get it on your hands you dont need to worry about puttin your finger in your eye and given yourself pink eye. Also when you brew the tea you need an airstone and air pump to oxygenate the mixture. The tea works best if used at the 24 hour mark after that the biology of the tea starts decreasing.
