how it works
Waste digestion involves
three distinct bacteria types
aerobic bacteria, which break
solids down into fatty and
ammo acids, anaerobic
bacteria, which convert those
acids into nuisance gases
such as ammonia, hydrogen
sulfide, and methane, and
facultative bacteria capable
of performing either role

The guaranteed
solution to your
toughest pit
Virtually eliminates
odor.
Relatively less gas and faster
suspension of solids means
dramatically reduced odor
The first application of
Pit-Boss, for example,
typically lowers combined
gas levels 20 - 25%. With
some confinement buildings
recording levels as high as 55
ppm, that’s a considerable
reduction Subsequent
applications achieve similar
results In most cases, odor
measures just 3 - 4 ppm after
the third application, so your
facility is safer for people,
better for stock, and less
likely to be targeted as a
nuisance
Speeds the suspension of
solids for faster, easier,
more complete pump
out.
Highly liquified waste not
only emits less odor, it also
saves you time and money by
making quick, efficient
pump-out possible
Pit-Boss pit and lagoon
treatment breaks down solids

problems.
fast In fact, the first
application of Pit-Boss
typically reduces the sludge
blanket on a holding pit by
4” - 6”, the second by
another 12" After the third
application, most pits and
lagoons are entirely free of
solids
What’s more, digesting the
lop crust on your pits or
lagoons destroys egg-laying
habitat for flies With Pit-
Boss, you can count on less
odor, easier pump-out, and
fewer flies
Enhances the fertilizer
value of waste by
reducing nitrogen loss.
Up to 90% of the nitrogen in
untreated slurry is lost as
ammonia What’s left at
pump-out generally contains
about 25 Lb of N, 19 Lb ofP,
and 20 LB of K per 1000 Lb
of waste
Guidelines for effective
application
1. Start with an empty pit
whenever possible.
2. For pits that are partially
or completely full, the pH
must be adjusted to 63
before applying Pit-Bou.
This can be accomplished
using Chem-A-Go»
AdjusU'Bosiph balancer,
according to the Instructions’
on die label. ,:
3. Apply One gallon of Pit-
Bom pit end lagoon
treatment for each (MOO
gallon* of taahlepij volume
toft length xwidth * depth' x
f.S). Premis each gallon of
Pit Bou with 3-4 gallons of
water and empty into the pit
at teveral location*.
4. Do not agitate die pit or
use lime or ammonia in or
near the pit
