  • Asked by Dale from Centennial, Colorado
    09/10/2014
    Q
    Is Essentria IC3 effective in eliminating bird mites?
    A
    Essentria IC3 is not labeled to treat bird mites. It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with bird mites. Have the suspected bird mite identified by a reputable source, such as your local cooperative extension office or a reputable pest control operator. Treatments will vary for different pests. Treatment for say bedbugs is much different than the treatment for bird mites.  If you do indeed have bird mites, you must first find the source of the infestation, usually a bird nest or a dead bird on or in the home. Removal of the infested nest or bird and a thorough cleanup is necessary. For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use MotherEarth Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Apply a thin coat of MotherEarth dust to rugs and carpets. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Let product sit overnight. Repeat application as necessary and vacuum every 3 - 4 days for effective control. MotherEarth dust does not have a fast knockdown, it can take several days for insects to die after they contact the dust. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs.We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.

    Q
    Is there an alternative to Essentria IC3 that is EPA FIFRA 25(b) exempt?
    I was told that Essentria has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Can you recommend some equivalent alternatives for treating for mosquitoes using a backpack blower that are also EPA FIFRA 25(b) exempt?
    A
    We would recommend using EcoVia EC as an alternative to Essentria IC3. It is made with various oils. You will mix 1-4 fl. oz. per gallon of water depending on the application site and/or insect. EcoVia EC can be used in a backpack sprayer. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    do you know of any solvent or cleaner that could clean it off? Tried muriatic acid already they are threatening to file a claim with my insurgence. Any help is appreciated thank you.
    A
    Since Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate is oil based that could have very well happened. If it is still not coming up, we would recommend to contact Envincio 888-241-8088 to discuss if they have any more trouble shooing options.

    12/15/2014
    Q
    Can I spray Essentria IC3 before rain or in rain and much oz. for a four gal backpack?
    A
    We do not recommend spraying Essentria IC3 when it rains because it will wash away. If it is going to rain, we would make sure the product has been down for at least 6 hours before it does so. You will use 0.5 - 6 fl. oz. depending on what you are treating for.

    Q
    Essentria IC3 vs. Talstar P?
    I'm debating between Talstar P and Essentria. What is the difference between them for killing the large spider population living outside around the perimeter of our house? Today I noticed there were hundreds of baby spiders crawling up the foundation and siding so we need to get something and start treating immediately.
    A

    Essentria IC3 is an organic insecticide and will last only approx 2-3 weeks due to natural ingredients will break down quicker in outdoor elements. You will have better results using a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide such as Suspend SC. Suspend SC will last you 30 days outside and 90 days on the inside of the home. Spraying the perimeter of the home 2-3ft up and 2-3 ft up from the foundation and focusing on windows, doors, and entry points to the home will help. You also want to trim any bushes, shrubs or trees back from touching the side of the home. 

    Please watch the video on the Suspend SC for application tips and directions.

    Q
    If Essentria IC 3 is mixed in sprayer and not all used at once can this be used on another day?
    With same results as when first mixed?
    A

    Essentria IC3 and other liquid concentrates should be used within 24 hours of mixing. If left longer, it could damage spraying equipment and they loose their effectiveness

    Q
    Will Essentria IC3 also kill beneficial insects like ladybugs, caterpillars, bees or butterflies?
    A
    Essentria IC3, like most insecticides, even natural ones, will kill bees if they land on a treated surface.  You should not apply this product or any other type of product intended to kill insects on any flowering plants that the bees may land on. Essentria IC3 is not labeled for any of those pests. This does not go to say they will not be effected. Please contact Envincio 800-652-2427 to ensure these beneficial will not be effected in your area.

    Q
    Will Essentria IC3 kill carpet beetles?
    I am looking for an all natural product to use to control carpet beetles as I have two small children. We have found damage in a closet as well as larvae in a bathroom (1 per day under the bath mat for a couple of weeks). We have cleaned the areas thoroughly and applied Essentria to the baseboards in the bathroom. Not only are we still finding larvae, we do not see any dead. Please advise.
    A

    Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate is not specifically labeled for carpet beetles.

    We would recommend using EcoVia EC. It is made with plant oils as well as is specifically labeled for carpet beetles.

    What is a mosquito killer or repellent we can use that won't hurt fish, pets, us?
    They seem to like our lawn and would like to spray it.
    A
    If you have a property with water and aquatic life you would want to use a product called Essentria IC3 for mosquito and other general pest control. It has no aquatic toxicities, is safe once dry for people and pets, and can be used in all the areas mosquitoes harbor like dense foliage of bushes/hedges/trees and ornamentals/groundcovers to help eliminate them. You will mix 1-2oz per gallon of water and spray once every 3-4 weeks throughtout the season to keep them away and kill the population.

    Q
    Hi, when applying Essentria with a fogger, what formula should I use?
    Could my ingredients be water and canola oil and liquid soap?

Thanks much
