EcoVia EC can be toxic to honey bees that may come in contact with it.
EcoVia EC is a great choice if you are seeking a natural concentrate to mix with water and apply to the outdoor areas for mosquito control. You will mix 1-4 oz of EcoVia EC per gallon of water depending upon application site and insect. See the product label for specific application instructions. It does have a residual of 3-4 weeks.
The Eco Via EC manufacturer does not make any claims to kill bed bug eggs or kill adult bed bugs on contact. Instead, you should rely on Eco Via EC to kill active bed bugs within several hours of contact. We highly recommend you follow our Bed Bug Guide to learn how to implement a successful bed bug control program.
Yes, we have several options. EcoVia EC from Rockwell labs is a National Organic Program certified insecticide that can be used in mosquito misting systems. A similar product that is also available is Essentria IC3. We also sell the all-natural product Naprovit PRO Plus, which has a different plant oil base and can be used in misting systems.
EcoVia EC can safely be applied around the outside perimeter of veggie gardens. Be sure to apply on a less windy day to reduce the risk of drifting into the garden. For use on edible plants, we suggest Essentria All Purpose Insecticide.
EcoVia EC does have a residual of 3-4 weeks no matter what you use to dilute the product.
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. For best results, apply when insects are most active and when conditions are conducive to keeping the fog close to the ground.
Essentria IC3 or EcoVia EC would be a great option for pest control. We suggest that adults (included those that are pregnant), children and pets should be out of the area during treatment. They can return once the surfaces have completely dried and the home has been ventilated.
EcoVia EC is a liquid botanical oil insecticide, and is lableled for fleas and would work very well if you are looking for a more natural alternative to other insecticide ingredients. It also can be mixed with any IGR that we carry as well.
You would treat the Solo Sprayer? as you would any other backpack or hand held sprayer and rinse out the tank and blower with clean water in a triple rinse method. If cleaned properly between uses of any product including EcoVia IC, it will not clog the unit or cause any damage. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Even with the application of organic or green products such as EcoVia EC, we recommend that you, your child and your pet remain out of the home during the application and while it is drying. When the surfaces have completely dried and the home has been ventilated properly, you all may return.
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.
If you need to treat for spiders near water, we would suggest that you use a product like EcoVia EC, which is effective against spiders but poses no threat to aquatic life.
