    Q
    A safe "Green" product to control spiders and scorpions.
    We're in the countryside in south central Texas. For 3+ years, we've been using a local company to control, for the most part, spiders (particularly Brown recluse). The technician normally sprays around the house perimeter inside and outside, and sometimes spreads some granules, which smell really nice, around outside as well. We really don't know much about the products that are being used and are concerned for the well-being of our numerous inside and outside dogs, cats, and the guineas that search the grounds looking for bugs, etc. Any recommendations?
    A

    For a green treatment in your area you can first use, Essentria G granules in the yard.  To treat cracks, crevices and around the perimeter of your home, you can use Essentria IC3. Both products contain wintergreen which will result in a wintergreen scent. If you can find out which products the…

    Q
    What is the temperature range that I must abide by to apply Essentria G Granules?
    Can I use this any time of the year? I live in upstate NY where it can get cold. Also can I mix this with/apply over an IGR I have that contains nylar. Do you offer an alternative IGR?
    A

    You can use Essentria as long as the ground is not frozen. You can also use it conjunction with an IGR. There are no alternative IGRs on the market. IGR's are synthetic growth hormones that mimic the growth hormones of insects so there really is not a way to make a "natural" product like these.
