    Q
    Can I use Eco Exempt G Granules near a lake or pond?
    Can I use Eco Exempt G Granules near a lake or pond? Will it leech into the lake's environment and kill lake insects?
    A
    Instead of the Eco Exempt G granules, which is not labeled as being safe for aquatic life, we recommend that you use Essentria IC3. Essentria IC3 is a flexible, broad-spectrum EPA FIFRA 25(b) exempt product and is organic compliant.  This means it is a very safe insecticide for use around your family and pets, but still very effective.  One of the best features of Essentria IC3 is that it has no aquatic toxicity.  This means you can apply near or over water for spiders, mosquitoes and other water dwelling pests with no worries about harming aquatic life.

    05/30/2013
    Q
    Should Essentria IC3 be used diluted or undiluted in a fogger?
    Also since this chemical is oil based, how then can it be mixed in water as an insecticide??
    A

    According to the Essentria IC3 product label: Mix 4 to 10 ounces of Essentria IC3 insecticide with sufficient oil to equal 1 gallon of diluted spray. (It is recommended to use lower rates in most food facility applications). Apply at a rate of 1 to 3 fluid ounces per 1000 cubic feet, filling the room with mist (or fog, if thermal equipment is used). Thermal fogging is limited to the indoor application areas listed on the product label.

    Q
    What Is The Best Product For Heavily Wooded Riverbank?
    We have an 400 square foot clearing in a heavily wooded area that sits on the bank of a slow-moving river. Additionally, there is a slow-moving, tributary wash as well. We have a firepit and some chairs there, but bugs prevent its use most of the year. Ants and spiders are the worst, but roaches, ticks and mosquitos are on the list of worst-offending pests. I'd like to be able to apply a product once every couple of months without it costing an arm and a leg. It also has to be pet-friendly and non-toxic to fish, as this area drains directly into the river. Can you recommend a product? Thanks!
    A
    Essentria IC3 would be a fantastic option as it is labeled for those insects and is aquatic friendly.

    Q
    Is Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate successful against drain and fruit flies?
    A
    Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate will kill flying insects, but it will not stop drain flies. You want to use products that will take away the source. We recommend our Drain Fly Kit which includes Invade Drain Gel to eat away the oraginc material in drains, Trapper Max Glue boards to trap adults and monitor drains, and On Time Metered aerosol to kill the drain flies and gnats on contact. If you have fruit flies too, we recommend also using Natural Catch Plus. Natural Catch Plus is a no-fuss, no-mess method of trapping and getting rid of pesky fruit flies for good. Low-maintenance traps are non-toxic and pesticide free, containing only a vinegar based all natural attractant to lure fruit flies to their doom.

    Q
    I am bidding on a project at a marina for spider control.
    I am bidding on a project at a marina which has covered boat slips. There are 9 docks total, most averaging 65' long extending from the shore. Average height of covered dock ranges from 35' from dock floor to top of roof (inside). Boats are moored or on lifts. Most boats are covered with canvas snap down covers. Most boat are obviously fiberglass. Questions: 1) will this product cause any harm to either the boat surface (fiberglass) and/or the boat cover as the mist will fall down on the canvas cover and the boat itself? 2) what is the recommended mixture ratio to water for summertime heavy infestation spiders? 3) how often should I plan to retreat the docks 4) will IC3 have residual knockdown after application?
    A
    Essentria IC3 should not pose any harm to any surface if applied as directed on the product label. As always, we suggest that you test a smaller inconspicuious area first.  The product should be mixed at 2 to 8 ounces per gallon of water and applied at the rate of 2 gallons per 1000 square feet or until area is thoroughly wet. Essentria IC3 does have an outdoor residual of 30 days and 90 days indoors.
