The product label for EcoVia EC does not list carpet beetles as an indoor controlled pest so we would not recommend it for this use. Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Carpet Beetles Guide for more information on a successful treatment plan.

EcoVia EC should not damage or stain the concrete or pavers when used as directed on the product label, and we have not heard complaints of this happening. The product should dry clear, but we would suggest testing a small, inconspicuous area first to be sure.
Unfortunately there isn't a way to only kill one species and not the other and broadcast treat an area they may both cohabitate in. However, most insects have times of day they are most active and least active, so spraying during the least active times for dragonflies can give more time for the product to dry and potentially not impact them as much the following days. There is just no way to guarantee they wont be impacted to some extent when using an insecticide whether all natural, orgranic, or otherwise if it carries a residual.
Yes, we do not offer products for use around koi ponds.
You will need to reach out to the manufacturer of EcoVia EC. Rockwell Labs can be reached at 816-283-3167. They also list an emergency contact which is 800-424-9300. It is also recommended to reach back out to the company that sprayed it.
EcoVia EC is comparable to Essentria IC Pro in that they are both all natural. While their ingredients are slightly different the biggest difference is that they are made by two different manufacturers. The IC Pro is also not labeled for as many pests as the EcoVia EC.
EcoVia EC is a top choice as a natural insecticide option, it is labeled kills of a wide range of flying, crawling and sucking insects such as mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches, spiders, fleas, bed bugs, flies, wasps, ticks, brown marmorated stink bugs, kudzu bugs, white flies, aphids, and many more. EcoVia EC can safely be applied in and around homes, businesses, near and over water such as boat docks and pool areas without harming aquatic life, as well as numerous other areas. People and pets should be out of the area during treatment until dry, typically about 4-6 hours.
EcoVia EC can be applied just to the perimeter of an area as a sort of barrier to kill insects coming into the area but if you have insects already across the entire area it would be best to cover it all.
The time frame it takes EcoVia EC to eliminate spiders will depend on the number of spiders 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 spiders will be gone forever. The product will likely need to be reapplied for maintenance every 21 days.
EcoVia EC does not have restrictions for use around animals or aquatic life as long as the product is applied according to the label instructions. You should not apply directly onto animals, and we do recommend trying to spray when animals such as tortoises are not present in the direct application area for extra caution.
EcoVia EC should not damage or stain the siding when used as directed on the product label and we have not heard compliants of this happening.
EcoVia EC is a great choice if you are seeking a natural concentrate to mix with water and apply to outdoor areas. You may mix up to 6oz of EcoVia EC per gallon of water depending upon application site and insect.
In a cold/ULV Fogger, you can dilute concentrates like EcoVia EC with either water or with oil. Typically you would dilute with water whenever possible outdoors to reduce the risk of phytotoxicity on the plants you are treating. Per the product 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. It sounds like you will likely need to dilute the product to apply at this rate if your fogger is applying product that quickly.
EcoVia EC can be applied around cracks and crevices on the exterior including the window and door frames.
