Q

Essentria IC Pro Insecticide vs Ecovia EC
Which product is more effective for a perimeter pest control treatment - Essentria IC Pro Insecticide or Ecovia EC? Does Essentria no longer kill ticks?

A

If you are wanting to stick strictly to all natural insecticides, the EcoVia EC will be the better option as it has more insects listed on its label currently including fleas and ticks. We are unsure why those insects were removed from the Essentria IC Pro label when it was launched to replace the E…

We are unsure why those insects were removed from the Essentria IC Pro label when it was launched to replace the Essentria IC3, but we will follow up with the manufacturer to see if any label amendments will be made to include those pests again in the future.

Q

How long does the effect of Essentria IC Pro Insecticide last?
Hi! I used to use the IC3 and per label for mosquitoes it says it lasts 3-4 weeks but label for this one says to re-apply every 4 days? It's not specified if this is at first and then continue with a maintenance dose?. It also doesn't specify the drying time.

A

Essentria IC Pro Insecticide has a residual of about 2-4 weeks which is the standard with natural options. The label does give different repeat intervals depending on the target pest and area you are treating in and how often can depend on how heavy the pest pressure is. For mosquitoes you repea…

For mosquitoes you repeat every 4 days to get the most out of the repellency and killing factor of the IC Pro.

Due to the sensitive nature of this species of fish, we do not give advice on Koi ponds. We recommend contacting a local Koi expert for recommendations or consulting with the County Cooperative Extension Office for recommendations. As all insecticides are very detrimental to all types of fish, including koi fish. You should not use any insecticides around them. When people ask about products that would be safe to use around boat docks we would typically recommend either EcoVia or Essentria IC3 as these are natural products that are made from essential oils instead of pesticides. However, when Koi fish are in a pond we recommend contacting a Koi expert.

Essentria IC Pro Insecticide's label doesn't state that it will control chiggers/redbugs.

Bifen IT is labeled to control chiggers and will work great for this use when applied to areas where chiggers harbor. Treatments for chiggers should begin in May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well-maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge.

Q

If Essentria IC Pro Insecticide is completely natural and safe, why are gloves and masks suggested?
Also, if it's natural and safe can it be used as a personal bug spray on the body? I have used the Essentria IC3 for bug spray on myself and it has worked phenomenally, the only thing that has worked on me but now it's discontinued. Would this be the same as the Essentria IC3? Thank you!
