New for 2008 are two insecticides:
Cyonara
9.7 is a great product for
mosquito barrier treatment of residential yards and as a residual spray for
application to interior walls of a horse barn, run in shed or other livestock
facility. It's active ingredient is 9.7% Lambda-Cyhalorthin, an advanced
generation pyrethroid. It usually applied with a pump up sprayer for long
lasting residual protection in areas where fly control is needed but electrical
power is not available to operate a traditional automatic fly spray system.
Mix approximately .8 oz. of concentrate to one gallon of water for 800 to 1600 sq ft. of area to provide extended control of flies and other insects. Available in quarts @ $139.95/qt.
Sector
misting concentrate - for use
in outdoor misting systems as an alternative to natural
Pyrethrin concentrates. Sector is a polymeric
water based concentrate that offers effective control without oil residues that
will harm ornamental plants. Sector is a 10% Permethrin with 10%
PBO. Mix 64 oz of concentrate to 55 gallons of water for standard control.
For extra control in areas of high infestation use 128 oz. to 55 gallons of
water. $
144.95 for the 64 oz. container
All natural Colloidal pest control - "CPC128" is a zero toxicity product. The formulation of all natural plants, grains, fruits, spices and essential oils such as oil of cedar, citrus oils etc. gives this product muscle with NO hazardous chemical additives.
BENEFITS OF COLLOIDAL PEST CONTROL
Effectiveness CPC 128-1 has been
engineered to be extremely effective at removing many types of insects such as
flies, mosquitoes and ticks.
Residual Effect unlike pesticides and other harsh chemicals,
Colloidal Pest Control will help keep insects away for up to
30 days when properly applied.
Safety made from natural ingredients that will not harm your home,
family, or pets
Technology our products are created through colloidal chemistry, an
off-shoot of nanotechnology, that enables the use of
natural plant extracts to deliver products that were not possible a few short
years ago.
Ease of Use CPC 128-1 is packaged as concentrate and is easily
diluted with plain water to make it ready to use. Straightforward directions
that make it easy for the property owner to use.
The major benefit of this revolutionary
method of insect control is the product's ability to target an individual
species of insect through varied
dilution rates. This makes it possible to control problem insects without harm
to beneficial resident insect populations. Additionally, unlike standard
insecticides in use today, no built-in resistance can be developed by the
targeted insects since this new product does not act on their nervous system,
but rather on their respiratory apparatus. Another major benefit of this
revolutionary method of insect control is the absence of undesirable side
effects on human health and the ecosystem.
The dilution rate of this product is 1 oz. per gallon of water for foggers and powered misters. For automatic fly spray systems use one quart for a 30 gallon system and a two quart container for a 55 gallon system.

"Riptide" 5% Pyrethrin/25% PBO
Pyrethrin
Pyrethrum is a
botanical insecticide produced primarily from the flowers of Tanacetum
cinerariaefolium, which is a species of the chrysanthemum plant family. It is
found mainly in tiny oil-containing glands on the surface of the seed case in
the tightly packed flower head and is the plants own insecticide that has
evolved to keep insects away. Pyrethrum is made up of six complex chemical
esters known as pyrethrins which work in combination to repel and kill insects.
The natural pyrethrins are contact poisons which quickly penetrate the nerve
system of the insect. A few minutes after application, the insect cannot move or
fly away. But, a "knockdown dose" does not mean a killing dose. The natural
pyrethrins are swiftly detoxified by enzymes in the insect. Thus, some pests
will recover. To delay the enzyme action so a lethal dose is assured,
organophosphates, carbamates, or synergists may be added to the pyrethrins.
Pyrethrin has been used effectively to control insects for decades. It
decomposes rapidly in the environment, making it an excellent choice for
controlling pests.
Pyrethrin is one of the safest insecticides known, as it has a very low
Mammalian toxicity, and is rapidly metabolized if accidentally swallowed by warm
blooded animals. Pyrethrin has been extensively studied from a toxicology
viewpoint. It is low in acute toxicity to humans and other vertebrate animals,
is non-carcinogenic and causes no adverse reproductive affects.
Pyrethin has flushing action, it disturbs insects so that they move out of their
hiding places and expose themselves to the insecticidal spray. Pyrethrum has
greater 'flushing' power than any other commercial insecticide. Against insects,
it has a very rapid paralytic action, knocking them down followed by kill.
Pyrethrum repellents insects at very low concentrations, a property used in the
protection of stored grain, the preparations of insect resistant packaging, and
in deterring mosquitoes, both by spray-on repellents and mosquito coils. In
addition, the smoke from Pyrethrum-based mosquito coils will inhibit mosquitoes
from biting. Pyrethrin is commonly used as a post harvest treatment for fruits
and vegetables especially during shipment and is popular as a non-residual
household insecticide spray.
Pyrethrum rapidly degrades by sunlight into harmless breakdown products, but at
the same time it can be safely stored for years in suitable containers.
Despite its long history of use, very few cases of insect resistance to
Pyrethrum have been discovered, and these have mainly arisen as a result of
cross-tolerance conferred by the insects developing resistance to another
insecticide.
Pyrethrum is effective against a wide range of insect pests including
mosquitoes, cockroaches, fleas, flies, aphids, etc.

"Vampyre" - 3% Pyrethrin/PBO - $212.95 for gallon size. makes one 55 gallon system fill.
Permethrin
Permethrin is a broad spectrum synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. Permethrin has been around since the 1970s and is widely used today in public health, home pest control, forestry, agriculture etc. Permethrin is used against a number of pests, on nut, fruit, vegetable, cotton, ornamental, mushroom, potato and cereal crops. It is used in greenhouses, home gardens and for termite control. It also controls animal ectoparasites, biting flies, and cockroaches.
Permethrin is referred to as a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide because, while manmade, it resembles naturally occurring chemicals with insecticidal properties, called pyrethroids. Pyrethroids are found especially in chrysanthemums. Pyrethroids are one of the oldest classes of organic insecticides known. Permethrin, like all synthetic pyrethroids, kills insects by strongly exciting their nervous systems. They quickly paralyze the nervous systems of insects, producing a quick "knockdown" effect on insect pest populations. Permethrin also acts as a stomach poison when it is ingested by insects or as a contact poison through direct contact with target pests. It kills adults, eggs, and larvae, and has a slight repellent effect against insects. Permethrin is available in dusts, emulsifiable concentrates, ULV (ultra low volume), and wettable powder formulations
In the US over 100 million applications of permethrin are made each year in homes and over 18 million applications are made in yards and gardens.
Permethrin is effective against adult mosquitoes, including the Culex species, which is responsible for transmitting West Nile virus.
Permethrin has a long history of being applied agriculturally to control against pests in the production of fruits, vegetables, and other crops. It has not been known to cause any chronic toxic effects to humans. Mild eye and skin irritation may occur with exposure to permethrin concentrate which can be treated by washing the eyes and skin thoroughly with water after contact.
It is not toxic for household pets and is virtually non-toxic to birds. It can be toxic to fish and caution would be used before applying it in areas which would result in aquatic exposure. It breaks down readily in soil and water, making it unlikely to leach or contaminate groundwater
32 oz. 10% Permethrin/32 oz. PBO - $85.95 Makes one 30 gallon system fill
64 oz. 10% Permethrin/32 oz. PBO - $144.95 Makes one 55 gallon system fill
PBO - Piperonyl Butoxide
PBO (Piperonyl Butioxide), trade name "Exponent", is an emulsifiable synergist for use in combination with insecticides, especially synthetic pyrethroids, as a tank mix to overcome resistance that pests develop with constant use of insecticides.
PBO is a unique tank additive that restores activity against resistant strains of pests. It acts by inhibiting naturally occurring enzymes that would otherwise degrade the insecticide molecule.
PBO breaks through the insect's defense and its synergistic activity makes the insecticide more powerful and effective. With the high cost of insecticides, PBO effectively reduces the cost per gallon of spray solution by allowing the applicator to use less active ingredient to obtain the mortality rate desired.
Insects are amazingly adaptable, and possess an enzyme system called the mixed-function oxidases (MFO's) that give them the ability to de-toxify and become resistant to many insecticides, especially synthetic pyrethroids. Continual application of pesticides starts the build-up of resistance and thus the efficacy of the spray diminishes. PBO inhibits the action of MFO's and restores the killing power of the insecticide, which results in less expensive and/or more effective pest control. Actual results show that PBO either decreased the cost of pest control since smaller doses are needed, or provided better control of insects where cases of maximum dosages of pesticides without PBO had failed.
Therefore, PBO can PROLONG the usefulness of insecticides by overcoming MFO resistance. Improved control means fewer applications of insecticides, thus providing cost savings as well as environmental benefits.
