Hi, I’m Cisse Spragins with Rockwell Labs, and I wanted to talk about one of our newest products. Small flies and fly control and commercial facilities has been a problem for a long time. It’s been, really the last 20 years. It’s been a significant issue. And Eco Via Fly Killer is a significant new advancement in fly control. It’s a different type of product than anything else that’s out there, and this is a 25(b) exempt product. It’s a botanical pesticide, and what you get from botanicals is fast kill and strong repellency. Those are the advantages of botanical pesticides.

So Eco Via Fly Killer, it’s a thickened formula, so you can actually apply it directly into a drain. It’s the price point is quite low, so you’re not going to go broke doing that, using it direct into a drain. And you can also dilute it with water and spray it. And we tested this on all life stages, both small flies and large flies. So we have house flies and blow flies, and then we have fruit flies, ford flies and drain flies, and it will kill the eggs and the larvae and the adults. If the adults are sprayed directly, but primarily what you get is repellency for adult fliesaway from those attractive breeding site areas. And then we tested that specifically as well. So this product also kills over causing bacteria. So it has the added benefit of having some some cleaning disinfecting type properties in addition to fly control. So it’s perfect for those types of applications.

One of the big advantages of an exempt product, of a 25(b) exempt product is when you’re using it in a commercial kitchen or outdoors, around the dumpster, you don’t have to you have a lot fewer label restrictions. So it’s not just crack and crevice application. You can apply it in a lot of areas where you really need to apply it, where the gunk is, where the flies are breeding, and then, similarly, outdoors, when you if you use a lot of synthetic pesticides, they’re restricted that you can’t spray it on like the side of a dumpster or on a pad, because you have impervious surface restrictions. But an exempt product, this does not have those restrictions because these products break down in the environment, and so they don’t they’re less restrictive in terms of application, so that enables you to spray it in areas, really where you need to spray it, basically for both large fly control and also small fly control in those commercial facilities.

It’s a good value. Again, you can dilute it 50/50 with water to spray it. If you do that, it will also foam to a degree. It will foam even better if you add some of our Outlast pro foaming agent, but you’ll get a respectable foam just with the product itself.
