Testing for pesticide in organic bran?

One of my sons has started keeping locusts - they are mainly fed grass freshly cut from our (untreated) back lawn.

Been going really well till today - with a number of deaths (eratic behaviour, falling over on side, cant right themselves, twitch for a time before dieing) - I think it may be down to some bran (put in as a backstop should they be short of grass at any time) - I didn't want to use purchased products, because of the risk or pesticide contamination, but the bran is 'soil association certified organic'.

I have now removed all the food and put in some new fresh cut grass.

Can I test the bran for pesticide (or have it tested)?

I am a bit suspicions because the bran has a warning 'packed in an environment containing nuts' -- if organic produce can be contaminated with nuts during packing, could it be contaminated with insecticide.

My boy is devastated - his carefully nurtured hoppers, having gone through several moults, twitching at the bottom of the cage :-(

When things are certified organic, even the processing facilities have to be certified. It is also highly unlikely that even if there was some pesticide contamination that the residual at this point would be strong enough to kill locusts.

But to answer your question: you can have a pesticide residue screen that would check for about 200+ of the most common chemicals. It would cost about $150 plus the shipping of your sample to the lab (are you that curious?) I always use Pacific Agricultural Lab for my residue analysis, http://www.pacaglab.com/.

It sounds like you would be aware of these things, but check for nearby household chemical like ammonia or bleach...

Good luck on the rest of the locusts!

Thanks for looking at our Cage Backstop information.
