    Q
    How long does it take EcoVia EC to kill springtails?
    A

    The time frame it takes EcoVia EC  to eliminate springtails will depend on the number of springtails in the area and the rate the product is applied at. It could take up to a week to see results. This product does not guarantee that the springtails will be gone forever. The product will likely need to be reapplied for maintenance every 21 days.

    Q
    What insecticide can I use to treat my property for ticks and mosquitoes?
    I'm thinking of buying a 40 gallon sprayer for my tractor and would like to see what insecticide options are out there. I would be doing about an acre. I live on a river, have kids, dogs and caged chickens so I'd prefer something a little on the safer side. I would like to treat for ticks and mosquitos if the product also treated ants and wasps that would be a plus!
    A

    An all natural product like the EcoVia EC would be a great option for both ticks and mosquitoes is safe near water.  Pets and people should be kept out of the area until dry and can return after that time.  It is also labeled for many other insects and is a great general pest control option.  We have some great articles here for Ticks and Mosquitoes as well that can be helpful.

    Q
    What are precautions that need to be taken with application of this product?
    What botanical oils are used? Is this listed as an acceptable product for organic agricultural use?
    A
    These are the precautions per the label:
    -May cause eye and skin irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Protective eyewear and nitrile or other chemical
    resistant gloves are recommended, particularly when handling concentrate. Applicator should wash hands before eating, drinking,
    chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. Remove clothing immediately if the product gets inside. Wash thoroughly and put on
    clean clothing. Remove PPE after handling this product. Wash the outside of the gloves before removing.
    -Do not use, pour, spill or store near heat or open flame.
    -Do not use product in conduits, junction boxes, or other electrical equipment because of possible shock hazard.
    -Product contains botanical oils that are inherently fragrant. When used in confined spaces, prolonged exposure to the scent may be
    objectionable to some individuals. Clean up residual product to diminish scent.
