Rockwell Labs Ltd

InVade Bio Foam from Rockwell Labs Ltd is now available in an economical 1-gallon jug with a pump top. InVade Bio Foam is an effective tool that can be used by pest management professionals to manage small flies in commercial accounts.
InVade Bio Foam is ready to use and includes powerful, scum-eating microbes, a foaming agent and great-smelling natural citrus oil, Rockwell Labs Ltd reports. One stroke of the new pump top delivers 1 ounce of InVade Bio Foam. Pest management professionals can dilute with water (1 ounce to a quart or 4 ounces to a gallon) to make the ready-to-use product. Application of InVade Bio Foam with the Foamer Simpson to “scummy” areas shuts down breeding sites and provides longer contact time for the microbes to work, the company says. The microbes then digest the scum while the proprietary citrus oil provides extra power and a great smell, according to the manufacturer.
Mattress Safe

Mattress Safe has achieved accreditation as a pest control management product, the company reports. A bite test and a penetration and escape test were performed on Mattress Safe’s Ultimate Zippered Encasement by a certified entomologist, who concluded that bed bugs can not bite through or penetrate the fabric or design of the encasement.
Hotels with rooms that become infested by bed bugs often need to discard mattresses and box springs due to the damage caused by blood stains and fecal matter. The incorporation of mattress and box spring encasements proves to be a cost-effective method of preventing damage caused by bed bugs and minimizing available harborage spaces, the company reports.

This durable poly tank includes a commercial-grade piston pump and a wide-mouth opening that keeps chemicals from spilling.
Hudson’s discharge system stands up to harsh chemicals and features a braided power sprayer-style hose and long 20-inch poly spray wand, with a large, thumb-operated shut-off valve. Four nozzles are included: large cone, dual cone, flat fan and a long-reach flooding nozzle. The sprayer can be used for applications along fence lines, around barns, large yards and gardens, and for janitorial and sanitation tasks.

Bird-X
www.bird-x.com/pct
BroadBand PRO targets pest birds with a combination of four different sound types: distress cries, predator cries, general harassments for an all-bird defense and ultrasonic waves. Its development is based on 40 years of success with sonic repellers that featured one of the four types, but this is the first machine to combine them all, the company says, eliminating the need to use multiple machines.
BroadBand PRO sound waves move from speaker to speaker for a constant defense, and the system is well suited for rooftops, parking lots, signs, towers, power stations or poles, stadiums, manufacturing or waste facilities and barns, the company says. Each BroadBand PRO unit also includes visual scares to frighten the birds in a multi-sensory assault.
Each unit covers up to 10,000 square feet, and runs on 110-volt AC current.
