    Q
    What are precautions that need to be taken with application of this product?
    What botanical oils are used? Is this listed as an acceptable product for organic agricultural use?
    A
    These are the precautions per the label:
    -May cause eye and skin irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Protective eyewear and nitrile or other chemical
    resistant gloves are recommended, particularly when handling concentrate. Applicator should wash hands before eating, drinking,
    chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. Remove clothing immediately if the product gets inside. Wash thoroughly and put on
    clean clothing. Remove PPE after handling this product. Wash the outside of the gloves before removing.
    -Do not use, pour, spill or store near heat or open flame.
    -Do not use product in conduits, junction boxes, or other electrical equipment because of possible shock hazard.
    -Product contains botanical oils that are inherently fragrant. When used in confined spaces, prolonged exposure to the scent may be
    objectionable to some individuals. Clean up residual product to diminish scent.
    -Product diluted per the label has not stained, discolored or caused damage to painted or varnished surfaces, fabrics, or other
    surfaces in testing. However, test treat a small non-visible area and allow to dry, to determine whether staining or discoloration will
    occur. If overspray lands on any sensitive surfaces (particularly plastics), simply rinse with water and wipe off with a clean cloth. Liquid
    soap may be used for clean up if needed. Concentrate will likely damage susceptible materials such as thin plastics.
    -Product has not shown phytotoxicity in testing when used as directed, but all plant types have not been tested, so if concerned
    about particular plant sensitivity, test treat a small area first and wait 48 hours to determine if burning occurs.
    -Product should not be applied directly to surface water.
    The botanical oils that are used are thyme oil, rosemary oil, 2-Phenethyl Propionate, Polyglyceryl Oleate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Wintergreen Oil and Isopropyl Myristate.
    This product is not labeled for use on edibles.

    10/19/2022
    Q
    Is EcoVia EC safe around a fish tank?
    A

    EcoVia EC would be safe only in cracks and crevices down low in the rooms with the tanks. You should cover the tanks to ensure no contact just to be safe. While EcoVia EC is safe around bodies of water outside, we do not know if it can injure indoor habitats.  We would recommend reaching out directly to Rockwall Labs to confirm instructions.

    Q
    How effective is EcoVia EC against termites?
    A

    EcoVia EC states on the product label: * This product is not recommended as sole protection against termites and is not approved as a pre-construction treatment for subterranean termites.  It is really only for spot treating active termites.  Termidor SC would be the best product for trenching as prevention.

    The Eco Via EC manufacturer does not make any claims to kill bed bug eggs or kill adult bed bugs on contact.

  • Asked by Candace from Milford, Ct
    06/10/2014
    Q
    What is the best product with repellant/residual properties to keep wasps away?
    I'm wondering if there is a residual spray that is safe around pets that I can use on the exterior that will act as a repellant for wasps and carpenter bees. Anything that has a few months residual strength? I live in CT and noticed many products are not allowed here.
    A
    You can use EcoVia EC to treat around the structure for a wide variety of flying and crawling insects. You will need to treat surfaces where you have seen activity for carpenter bees. You can apply this product quarterly for general maintenance or repeat treatments more frequently if needed. EcoVia EC will not, however, provide instant knockdown of flying, stinging insects. For this application or for treatment of existing nests, you should use a wasp spray such as Wasp-X which can spray over 20 feet and has a unique foaming action to cover nests.

    The product label for EcoVia EC does not list carpet beetles as an indoor controlled pest so we would not recommend it for this use. Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Carpet Beetles Guide for more information on a successful treatment plan.
