    Essentria IC3 would be a great choice for all natural pest control. 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.

    Q
    What do I do if this product was sprayed directly on my vegetable garden.
    A mosquito control company used this product on my newly planted vegetable garden (I did not realize they were going to spray the garden and was assured that the product was all natural organic and safe.) Do I need to replace everything to be on the safe side? The broccoli, Brussel sprouts beets and radishes are not producing yet, but the lettuce spinach and kale would be consumed directly. I think they also sprayed my herbs. I don't plan to have them ever come back and I'm supposed to be getting a call from the corporate office bc the technicians have been trained to use it on the vegetable gardens. I can't imagine I'm the first person this has happened to. I just happened to be home that day to witness it and then did some research only to find out(to my astonishment) that it is not approved for use on vegetables. I was even more astonished to find that the mosquito company is ignorant to this. They say it only works for about 2 weeks and we had a solid day of rain the day after it was sprayed. I guess I just want to know what the best course of action would be with regard to the veggies and herbs. I don't want to consume anything that will harm my family in any way. Thanks!

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

    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
    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.

    Q
    What is the best application method to treat for ticks using Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate?
    I have a large area to treat for ticks using essentria IC3. I am trying to figure out the most effective application method. Thermal fogging, forced air misting, or spraying?
    A

    It would be best to apply Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate by sprayer. You could use a backsprayer like the Chapin 4 gallon backpack sprayer. By spraying you get a more even application.

    Q
    Does Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate kill or prevent termites?
    A

    Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate is not labeled for termite control. While it would likely kill termites that you sprayed with it directly, this product is not for use for termite prevention or to treat existing infestations. If you are looking for a greener product for subterranean termite control, you may consider Altriset which is the first EPA reduced-risk termiticide. You could also use a termite baiting system instead of doing a soil treatment.

    Q
    Is Essentria IC3 water friendly and will it control flies and mosquitoes outside my home?
    A

    For Mosquito Control, Essentria IC3 is labeled to be used around water areas such as docks, boats, ponds, but also used for periemter treatments around the home on trees, shrubs, and bushes. . 

    Fly Control is best obtained using a fly trap such as the Flies Be Gone Trap. This trap is to be placed in direct sunlight, 30ft away from the area you are wanting to rid flies of and placed 5ft off the ground. These traps are disposoble so you just throw them away after 4-6 weeks.

  • Asked by Kim from Sierra Vista Arizona
    06/08/2016
    Q
    Does Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate get rid of ants?
    A

    Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate can eliminate any type of ant that comes into contact with a treated area. You should note that the product will not be carried back to the colony and transferred to other ants - only the ants that actually come in contact with treated areas will be eliminated. We do carry Termidor SC and Phantom, which both work with a transfer effect and are labeled for most types of ants. If you would prefer to stick to all natural products you should consider using a combination of ant baits such as the Gourmet Ant Bait Gel and the Intice Fine Bait Granules. Baits will be picked up by the foraging ants and carried back to the colony. After the infestation is gone you can follow up with the Essentria IC3 as a barrier spray around the exterior of your home to stop new ants from moving in.
