How FenvaStar EcoCap Works

FenvaStar EcoCap is a liquid insecticide concentrate with the active ingredient Esfenvalerate. Esfenvalerate is a synthetic pyrethroid, a man-made insecticide created to mimic the chemical properties of naturally occurring pyrethrins. FenvaStar EcoCap also has the advantage of microencapsulation, meaning the product is a concentrated suspension with millions of tiny capsules containing the active ingredient. When insects come into contact with the spray or residual left from applying FenvaStar EcoCap, they pick up the tiny capsules on the hairs on their legs and bodies, and the esfenvalerate attacks the central nervous system of the insects, causing paralysis and eventual death.

Target Uses of FenvaStar EcoCap

FenvaStar EcoCap is an excellent choice for general, broad-spectrum insect control as a perimeter barrier outdoors and crack and crevice or spot treatment indoors. FenvaStar EcoCap has low odor and no VOCs, making it ideal for more sensitive accounts and situations where multiple treatments may need to be made, such as for bedbugs. Microencapsulation makes FenvaStar EcoCap a great choice to treat flying pests such as mosquitoes or carpenter bees, or for use in areas exposed to direct sunlight. FenvaStar EcoCap is also labeled for use for many common livestock pests and plant pests. With its broad list of target pests and usage sites, FenvaStar EcoCap eliminates the need for multiple products for a variety of jobs.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Esfenvalerate 3.5%

FenvaStar EcoCap Application Instructions

Shake well before using. When mixing, add approximately half the required water to spray tank and then add appropriate amount of concentrate. Agitate and slowly add the remaining water. Agitate spray thoroughly before using and also occasionally during use to ensure dispersion. Use 1-2 ounces of concentrate per gallon of water and apply with a hand pump sprayer. Apply 2-second bursts of spray per square foot of area being treated. Avoid excessive application. Dampen surfaces but not to the point of saturation or run-off. Repeat applications as needed, but do not exceed more than one application every seven days (most applications; do not exceed more than one application every 14 days in food handling establishments).

*** DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCTS AS A FOGGER OR APPLY IT AS A SPACE SPRAY! ***

• 1 fl. oz. (30mL)/gal. of water – 0.025% - general use, maintenance, prevention.
• 2 fl. oz. (60mL)/gal. of water – 0.05% - heavy infestations, initial clean out; stinging insects.
• 0.2-2.0 fl. oz./gal. of water or in sufficient water to cover 1,000 sq. ft. – broadcast or foliar spray of ornamental trees, landscapes, lawns, and turf.

1 gallon of finished solution typically covers 1,000 square feet. Higher volume applications may be used for outdoor treatments such as broadcast lawn treatments or foliar applications in mosquito breeding sites. See product label for complete instructions for outdoor applications.

For control of insect, indoors and outdoors, in food and non-food areas such as, but not limited to: homes, schools, warehouses, office buildings, apartment buildings, theaters, hospitals, hotels, industrial buildings, motels, kennels; livestock housing such as barns, cow and calf pens and hutches, dairy barns and milk rooms, hog barns, horse barns, sheep barns, poultry houses, rabbit hutches; food processing plants; food service establishments including, but not limited to restaurants, meat processing plants, supermarkets and grocery stores, bakeries, food manufacturing and processing establishments, and food warehousing establishments; transportation equipment, truck trailers, railroad cars, warehouses. Also for use on backyards, lawns, trees, ornamental landscaping, recreational areas, parks and athletic fields.

Indoors

Mix and spray according to Application Instructions above. For crawling pests indoors: Apply as a course, wet spray to surfaces where pests are normally found. Treat floors, baseboards, around doors and windows, in attics, crawl spaces, eaves, corners, closets, walls, utility pipes, storage areas, cracks and crevices. Treat underneath sinks, dishwashers, refrigerators, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers, cabinets, areas behind pipes, and in all places where these insects shelter. Contact as many insects as possible with direct spray. Repeat applications as needed, but do not exceed more than one application every 7 days.

To control bedbugs: Thoroughly clean and sanitize mattresses and box springs. Treat mattress and box springs with an approved pesticide. Apply FenvaStar EcoCap as a spot treatment to potential harborage sites and migration paths, and crack and crevices, around baseboards, floorboards, headboards, and walls.

Outdoors

Mix and spray according to Application Instructions above. Treating exterior walls, foundations, and structures: To control infestations of listed pests, treat exterior surfaces of buildings, walls, window frames, around garbage cans, eaves, cracks and crevices, porches, decks, gazebos, patios, carports, garages, fence lines, and other areas where pests are active or may be hiding. To help prevent insect infestation of buildings, treat a 2-6 food band of soil or other substrate adjacent to buildings. Treat building foundation to a height of 2-3 feet. Treat exterior walls, eaves, cracks and crevices, and other areas where pests are active and may find entrance into the building. Alternate mixing directions are to use 4-8 fl. oz. of concentrate per 50 gallons of water.

Use lower rate range for turf pests that are commonly exposed and will be contacted by spray solution at the time of application. For pests that will not be contacted by spray solution at the time of application, use the upper rate range. Use 2 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. when treating mole crickets and chinch bugs.

For yellow jacket control, FenvaStar EcoCap can be mixed with baits in traps. Follow trap instructions for preparation of bait.
