With the focus of most residential scheduled treatment programs on exterior only service, having a proven and effective perimeter pest protection protocol is critical to achieve customer satisfaction and gain the acceptance of service technicians.
With the power of Rockwell’s InTice and EcoVia products, PMPs can provide a highly effective GREEN perimeter pest control service profitably and with confidence.
The best part is that Rockwell’s “Green” Perimeter Pest Treatment is as easy as 1-2-3! It works like this:
#1: Spray the foundation with EcoVia EC Emulsifiable Concentrate, up to 3 ft high
#2: Apply InTice 10 Perimeter Bait
#3: Apply an add-on treatment using EcoVia WD Wettable Dust for spiders, occasional invaders and/or overwintering pests
That is it! Your exterior treatment recipe for success!
Why is InTice 10 Perimeter Bait the cornerstone of Rockwell’s Green perimeter treatment program protocol? There are many reasons:
-It Powers Up Your Service: Perimeter baiting with InTice 10 Perimeter Bait will provide exceptional results at minimal cost when combined with any perimeter spray program.
It has no pyrethroid and neonicotinoid use restrictions, making it the ideal choice for an outdoor perimeter program.
-It Provides Long Residual: InTice 10 is the only 10% boric acid granular bait available, and it works for up to 90 days outdoors. Boric acid does not break down from heat or UV light, and is mold & moisture resistant.
-It Provides Unmatched Value: The 1 lb per 1000 square feet application rate offers an amazing value!
-It Works On A Broad Spectrum of Crawling Pests: Including ants, carpenter ants, roaches, silverfish, crickets, earwigs, and other occasional invaders
-It Is A Non-Repellent: It doesn’t just chase pests away. Ants carry the bait back to the nest and kill the colony. Other target pests actively seek out the bait as a food source, eat it and die.
-It Has A Broad Label: It can be used indoors, including food areas, and outdoors, including full turf use (not for turf use in CA).
-And It Works in the Toughest Outdoor Areas: Multi-layered surfaces such as mulch beds, grass and ground cover vegetation create challenges as these areas provide food, moisture and harborage which insects need. But maintaining a barrier on these surfaces is tough. Using InTice 10 instead of sprays provides superior, long-lasting results in these tough conditions.
Unlike most pesticide chemicals, the boric acid active doesn’t break down from heat in an attic so it lasts for a year or more. Since it is also mold & moisture resistant, it is perfect for crawlspaces and unfinished basements. And since it is a bait, crawling insects will be looking seek it out it. Again, once a year treatment is typically enough.
Step 1: Spray the foundation up to 3 ft above grade using EcoVia EC Emulsifiable Concentrate.
The mid-rate for mixing is 2 oz per gallon. For more challenging conditions or longer service intervals, use 4 oz per gallon. The application rate is 1 gallon per 1000 square feet.
Step 2: Apply InTice 10 Perimeter Granules just outside of the EcoVia EC treatment area.
Apply in a 2 to 3 ft band around the perimeter, just outside of where you sprayed in Step 1.
Apply at a rate of 4-6 oz per 100 linear feet. The application does not need to be perfect since it is not a repellent barrier. Pests will find it as they are searching for food. Make sure to apply to mulch beds, and try to get up under shrubs. Also apply to any mulch beds, landscaped areas and other pest-conducive places away from the perimeter such as around lights and woodpiles. Once a year, apply bait to the attic (right on top of the insulation) and crawlspace (if present) at a rate of 3 oz per 100 sq ft. InTice 10 can also be applied around the edges of unfinished basements.
Step 3: Apply EcoVia WD wettable dust around windows, doors, eaves, etc.
EcoVia WD can be applied as a dust or wettable powder. As a wettable power, mix 2 oz with 1 gallon of water. Spray the underside of eaves for spiders and stinging insect control and prevention. For overwintering pests and occasional invaders, spray or dust in the cracks around window and door frames. Also spray or dust into weep holes, under the edges of siding, behind shutters and other entry points or hiding places.
When EcoVia WD is sprayed, it dries and leaves a light film of dust on the surface. This may be visible on darker surfaces. If this is a concern, treat these areas with EcoVia EC instead.
