Nisus: Bac-Azap BOV

Bac-Azap BOV is an aerosol odor-control product from Nisus Corp. designed to eliminate unpleasant organic odors rather than simply mask them with fragrance. BOV stands for Bag-on-Valve, a packaging technology that separates the product from the propellant inside the aerosol can.

Bac-Azap uses a three-part odor-elimination process:

1. Freshens: Replaces unpleasant odors with a fresh scent.
2. Encapsulates: Traps odor molecules.
3. Breaks down: Uses specialized microbes to consume organic material responsible for odors.

About J.T. Eaton

Founded in 1932 by Jasper T. Eaton as a mail-order house for pest control products for professional use, J.T. Eaton was brought to prominence when Pest Management Professional (PMP) Hall of Famer Stanley Baker (Class of 1999) purchased it in 1949. Before his death in 2005 at the age of 87, he built it up to a multi-million-dollar company. Baker was a lifelong innovator, and is credited for creating the paraffin rodent bait block in 1962. He is also credited with developing the modern glue board design, in 1980. In 1999, he helped patent an ant and cockroach product that uses just 1 percent boric acid. Still family-owned and -operated by the Baker family, J.T. Eaton’s product line includes products for rodents, wildlife, bed bugs, mosquitoes and other flying insects and more.

U.S. Pest Index edges up in September

The William Blair/PCO Bookkeepers & M&A Specialists total U.S. Pest Index increased 8 percent year over year in September 2026, below the index’s long-term average growth rate of 10 percent.

A reading above 10 percent signals strength for the month, while a reading below 10 percent signals softness.

“September was slightly better than August, which was up 7 percent year-over-year, but still below the long-term average of 10 percent,” William Blair equity researcher Tim Mulrooney said in a news release.

Dan Gordon, CPA, managing member of PCO Bookkeepers & M&A Specialists, said the improvement doesn’t yet mark a turnaround: “While it’s encouraging to see growth moving in the right direction, we are now six consecutive months below the index’s long-term average of 10 percent, suggesting that the industry continues to face a softer growth environment.”

Commercial was the strongest segment for the month, while bed bug work posted the steepest decline. September results by segment:

• The Commercial Pest Index increased 12 percent year over year.
• The Residential Pest Index increased 8 percent year over year.
• The Termite Index increased 3 percent year over year.
• The Mosquito Index increased 3 percent year over year.
• The Bed Bug Index decreased 9 percent year over year.

Truly Nolen opens first California franchise

Ryan Harrison opened a Truly Nolen Pest Control franchise in Ventura County, Calif., on Oct. 1, becoming the company’s first franchisee in the state. Truly Nolen also operates corporate locations in San Diego, San Marcos, Palm Desert and Orange in the Golden State.

The Santa Paula Chamber of Commerce, the Ventura Chamber of Commerce and the West Ventura County Business Alliance held a joint ribbon cutting Oct. 9 to celebrate the opening. The event took place in the Pidduck Garden at the Museum of Ventura County’s Agricultural Museum.

Harrison has more than 20 years of pest management experience in agriculture in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, where he managed operations for several large-scale strawberry businesses. He also ran strawberry nursery operations and did some work with the Ventura County Agricultural Commissioner’s office.

A graduate of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Harrison earned a degree in agribusiness with a minor in plant protection sciences. He passed the California Pest Control Adviser exam after college and has used his license in production agriculture, focusing on entomology, integrated pest management (IPM) and pesticide laws and regulations.

After more than two decades of working for others, Harrison wanted to be his own boss and began researching pest control franchise opportunities, according to the company’s announcement.

“I looked at other concepts for years and nothing lined up with both the pest control background and the operations background the way this did,” he said.

Harrison said he also chose Truly Nolen because “the brand is respected, it’s a family business, the systems are real, and the company’s 12 Core Values match how I already try to work.”

Outside of work, Harrison spends time with his wife, Meghan, a teacher, and their seven children, who range in age from 8 to 23. He said he spends a lot of time at their youth sports, especially soccer, football and baseball, and he serves on the Santa Paula Little League Board.

Lance Washington, Truly Nolen’s director of domestic franchising, attended the ribbon cutting. He said Harrison completed training earlier this year at the company’s Leadership and Training Center in Tucson, Ariz., and that the company is pleased to welcome him.

“Ryan’s two decades of experiences in pest management, combined with his desire to open in an area tailored to his strengths, make us very excited he chose to open a franchise,” Washington said in the news release. “Being an active member of the Ventura County community and surrounding areas should help him in the years to come.”

About Truly Nolen

Based in Tucson, Ariz., Truly Nolen of America traces its roots to 1938, and to 2006 PMP Hall of Famer Truly Wheatfield Nolen. Nolen’s son, the late Truly David Nolen, founded Truly Nolen of America and Orlando, Fla.-based Truly Nolen International, both of which feature a fleet of yellow “mouse cars” and antique vehicles. Truly Nolen of America is one of the largest family-owned pest control companies in the United States, with more than 80 branch offices in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. It also has independently owned and operated franchises in an ever-growing number of territories, including Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Canada, Puerto Rico and more than 60 countries.

Liphatech Inc., a Milwaukee, Wis.-based supplier of intelligent pest control solutions, has hired Gregory Green as its southwest district sales and technical manager. His territory includes Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Hawaii.

Green has spent more than 15 years in the pest management industry, working in branch management, sales, service and technical roles. He has led service teams, built long-standing customer relationships and helped pest management professionals solve tough pest problems. He is also a U.S. Navy Veteran.

“Gregory’s extensive industry experience and commitment to helping customers make him a valuable addition to our team,” said Matt Elderbrook, business manager at Liphatech. “His broad technical knowledge and customer-focused approach are a winning combination.”

About Liphatech

With U.S. headquarters based in Milwaukee, Wis., Liphatech is a worldwide manufacturer of pest control products. It is considered to be the developer of three of the industry’s active ingredients: chlorophacinone, bromadiolone and difethialone. The company was founded in France in 1946 to develop anticoagulants for the treatment of heart patients. It developed chlorophacinone in the 1960s and branded it as Rozol, a family of products that includes grain and pelleted products for field and structural use, and a tracking powder for use in and around structures. In the 1970s, Liphatech developed bromadiolone, its original second-generation rodenticide active ingredient.

The innovations continued with the opening of its U.S. facility in 1987. Research there and in Europe resulted in the discovery of difethialone during the late 1980s, with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency registration as an active ingredient in 1995.

Liphatech is part of De Sangosse Group, an international, independent company focused on developing innovative solutions for agriculture, animal health and other markets. Through its businesses around the world, De Sangosse Group combines scientific expertise, entrepreneurial spirit and local market knowledge to support sustainable growth and deliver value to customers.
