    Q
    Is Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate safe for use on fruit trees before fruit appears?
    A

    Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate  cannot be applied to fruit or vegetables directly, especially ones that will be harvested for human consumption.  However, we do have a product made specifically for food bearing trees which is called Malathion 57%. It can be applied right to the food on the tree,  For each plant type there is a cut off time before harvesting, which is usually 7 days.  Here is a link to the product label.

    Q
    Will Essentria IC treat booklice and springtails?
    A

    Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate is not labeled for springtails. If you are wanting to use a natural product for springtail elimination, EcoVia EC is a great option. Please take a look at our Springtail Control Guide for helpful tips regarding springtail control. 

    The best way to control booklice is by lowering the humidity in the infested areas which in turn will help eliminate the mold and fungus these insects need to survive. Infested furniture and carpeting should be thoroughly steam cleaned and vacuumed. You can spray your furniture with Sterifab to get rid of any lingering insects. You cannot spray anything on books so for those we recommend you find a way to heat treat them with a device like the Packtite or you can seal them loosely into bins with Nuvan Prostrips.

    Q
    What can we use to kill spiders on my boat dock?
    We want an environmentally friendly way of killing the spider population on our boat dock. We don't want to use anything that can harm the Lake water and wildlife.
    A

    The most popular spider control product for use around water is Essentria IC3, because it is effective for spiders, kills most other insects (eliminating the spider's prey which will help keep new spiders from moving back into the area) and it safe to use around water. Most other insecticides are prohibited near the water because of the risk of contaminating the water and harming aquatic animals. You will need to repeat the application once a month through the warm season.

    Q
    If using Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate in kitchen cabinets, how should we clean them before putting food or dishes back in?
    What kinds of cleaners would be best?
    A

    We would recommend applying Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate to the cracks and crevices and where the floor meets the wall or cabinets. You can use any household cleaner/soap for your cabinets and place your dishes back inside. We would avoid spraying inside the cabinets. What insect are you targeting? Many folks treating for ant/roaches in the kitchen will use baits in the cabinets that will not harm the items inside and is safer.
