  • Asked by Elle from Atlanta, Ga
    06/08/2014
    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.
    -Product diluted per the label has not stained, discolored or caused damage to painted or varnished surfaces, fabrics, or other
    surfaces in testing. However, test treat a small non-visible area and allow to dry, to determine whether staining or discoloration will
    occur. If overspray lands on any sensitive surfaces (particularly plastics), simply rinse with water and wipe off with a clean cloth. Liquid
    soap may be used for clean up if needed. Concentrate will likely damage susceptible materials such as thin plastics.
    -Product has not shown phytotoxicity in testing when used as directed, but all plant types have not been tested, so if concerned
    about particular plant sensitivity, test treat a small area first and wait 48 hours to determine if burning occurs.
    -Product should not be applied directly to surface water.
    The botanical oils that are used are thyme oil, rosemary oil, 2-Phenethyl Propionate, Polyglyceryl Oleate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Wintergreen Oil and Isopropyl Myristate.
    This product is not labeled for use on edibles.

    What if deer were to eat treated grass or trees

    Q
    How effective is EcoVia EC against termites?
    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.

  • Asked by Richard from Huntsville, Alabama
    09/01/2021
    Q
    How does EcoVia EC compare to Bifen IT for mosquito control and a general foundation pest control treatment?
    Do both products offer similar results? It is my understanding that I would have to apply EcoVia EC more frequently. I like the fact that EcoVia EC is a "Green" product. In addition, I live next to a drainage ditch that has some dense vegetation. It sounds like I can spray this vegetation with the EcoVia EC which is a nice benefit (if it works well).
    A

    Both EcoVia EC and Bifen IT are great for general pest control, both can be sprayed on ornamentals and vegetation (as long as it is not edible vegetation), and both products are labeled to control mosquitoes. It is highly recommended to add an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) to stop their cycles to help prevent future infestations as well.

    Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes Guide for more information and helpful tips on eradicating this pest.

    EcoVia EC has a 3-4 week residual per the manufacturer. The Bifen IT has a residual of up to 30 days outdoors and up to 90 days indoors. 

    The Bifen and Ecovia are both labeled for many of the same pests, however, the Bifen is labeled to target more insects. For example, the Bifen is labeled to control up to 75 different insects including carpet beetles whereas the Ecovia is not. Both products are effective as long as you are following the instructions on the product label. 

    Ecovia is labeled as a livestock spray for breeding stock and recreational animals (Cattle, Swine, Horses, Goats and Sheep) as well. The Bifen IT is not labeled for this same use. Please be sure to review the product labels for more information and complete application instructions.

    Please review the Bifen IT Product Label and the EcoVia EC Product Label for more information.
