    Q
    I have cats, Is EcoVia EC safe for them, and do they find the odor offensive?
    A
    EcoVia EC is safe once it is dry. The cats should not be in the room that you are spraying until the product is completely dry. This could take from 2-3 hours. After a few hours, there should no longer be an odor, but it is a green product and smells like botanical oils. This smell should not be strong. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    What is the best thing to treat for spiders on a lake property?
    A
    If you need to spray all the way up to the water line as well as around any dock areas for the spiders and other bugs they are feeding on, then you would use a product like EcoVia.

    Q
    Does the residual affect depend on how you treat using EcoVia EC?
    Does EcoVia EC last long when using a handheld push vs a mister, because of the amount that is applied is more from a hand held pump? I always thought organic insecticides only last about two week and synthetic lasts up to a month?
    A
    EcoVia EC will have the same residual if you apply in a pump sprayer or mister. It will offer about a 3-4 week residual and synthetic pyrethroids offer a monthly exterior residual.

    EcoVia EC can be applied undiluted or diluted with a light mineral oil or another suitable non-phytotoxic diluent per the product label. Per the instructions on the label, use up to 0.25-1.5 fl oz of product per 1000 sq ft of ground surface area, or up to 10-60 fl oz per acre. Use higher rates for heavy vegetation and/or when target insect populations are high.

    Q
    Termite protection using EcoVia
    I see Termites listed as one of the Target pests but there is an asterisk * after Termites. I did not see a footnote for the *. What does the asterisk refer to? I want a diy termite protection for my house in Fayetteville GA. Would I apply this product like Termidor is applied, but digging a shallow space around the foundation and then spraying Eco Via EC in this shallow trench? ...or some other application?
    A

    EcoVia EC states on the product label: * This product is not recommended as sole protection against termites and is not approved as a pre-construction treatment for subterranean termites.  It is really only for spot treating active termites.  Termidor SC would be the best product for trenching as prevention.
