2023 journal article
Acaricidal Biominerals and Mode-of-Action Studies against Adult Blacklegged Ticks, Ixodes scapularis
MICROORGANISMS, 11(8).
author keywords: mechanical insecticides; ticks; Imergard; Celite; repellency
TL;DR:
Although the assumed mode of action of Imergard and Celite is dehydration, the minerals are not hygroscopic, there was no evidence of cuticle damage, and death occurred in as little as 2 h, suggesting minimal abrasive action of the cuticle.

Mechanical Acaricides Active against the Blacklegged Tick, Ixodes scapularis
INSECTS, 13(8).
TL;DR:
It is discovered that volcanic glass, ImergardTM WP, and other industrial minerals such as Celite 610 were efficacious mechanical insecticides against mosquitoes, filth flies, and agricultural pests.
