Bell Laboratories introduced Provoke Professional Rat Attractant, a food-based gel that entices rats to rat traps. This new rat attractant is formulated to meet the unique behavioral characteristics of rats, particularly their sense of smell, the company said.

Available from Bell distributors in December, Provoke for rats will come in an 8-ounce, no-drip squeeze bottle. Its tapered nozzle makes application on any trap easy and quick, Bell Labs reported, and it is ideal to use with Bell’s Trapper T-Rex Rat Trap, which features an integrated, removable cup to hold the attractant.

This non-toxic, hypoallergenic attractant can be used in any account but it is especially suited for sensitive accounts where food allergies are a concern. It can be used in schools, food production plants and other accounts where attractants, such as peanut butter, are prohibited. Provoke for rats is water soluble and will not stain clothing or fabrics.

The stations are available in either green or brown. Special pallet pricing is available.

The Vapor Blitz II dry steam vapor system from AmeriVap Systems can be used to eliminate bed bugs without the use of pesticides. Bed bugs cannot survive the 220° F dry steam vapor that the Vapor Blitz II delivers, and it is ideal for getting the hard-to-reach areas where bed bugs hide, AmeriVap Systems reported. The steam from the Vapor Blitz II is only 5 percent moisture, so mattresses, carpets and upholstery are dry in 10 minutes, the company reported.

This portable system is easy to operate, user friendly and chemical free, the company said. The Vapor Blitz II has three pressure settings on the handle, includes attachments for various applications, as well as a sturdy cart to keep everything compact.

Bird-X’s 3D Coyote incorporates unique features to ensure long-term effectiveness with no maintenance. The Bird-X Coyote is a realistic, life-sized three-dimensional replica in frightening, stalking posture. It is 37 inches long, 8 inches wide and 16 inches tall. Its furry tail and true-to-life markings add to its imposing presence. Unlike stationary deterrents, this coyote moves and changes positions in even the slightest breeze. It is visible from all angles for full 360-degree coverage as opposed to flat silhouettes.

The coyote is manufactured from water- and weather-resistant EVA resin. It is portable, and easy to set up wherever the goose infestation exists, yet it folds for storage when the season is over. The Bird-X Coyote is a safe and humane deterrent choice.

The SL vacuums are available with HEPA filtration, to capture 99.97 percent of particles, down to and including 0.3 microns. A unique release lever that lowers the wheeled collection container also makes disposal of collected debris easy, the company said.

Nixalite
www.nixalite.com/fogforce.aspx
Nixalite now offers two effective, humane products to repel birds, the company reported. Fog Force and Migrate are made from a naturally occurring compound with reduced risk to the environment, and not from pesticides. Fog Force is made with methyl anthranilate, a synthetic grape flavoring agent in foods and beverages.

Fog Force can be used indoors and outdoors to repel many nuisance birds such as Canada geese, pigeons and gulls. It delivers a dry haze of fine aerosol particles that stay suspended in the air, the company said. When birds are exposed to Fog Force, the result is a pain stimulus that irritates their eyes and mucus membranes without permanent damage. Fogging works with all birds, independent of their activity, Nixalite said. They do not have to eat the product. Birds will associate the pain stimulus with the site and learn that the area is not desirable.

Migrate is a spray-on repellent used to repel geese or ducks on turf areas. It is a microencapsulated product that can be mixed with water to spray on turf. Birds that come in contact with Migrate typically will shake their heads, spit out their food and leave the area to seek a better food source. Migrate is not harmful to household pets; it will only affect birds, the company said. Fog Force can be used in both thermal foggers and ultra-low volume cold fog generators.

Nelson-Jameson

For pest management companies that provide add-on services, Nelson-Jameson has added a full line of janitorial chemicals from NYCO Products Company, specifically formulated for sanitary maintenance and industrial cleaning. The line includes degreasers to remove grime, grease and build-up. The cleaners can be used in sensitive accounts and are available in several formulations. The high-performance formulations contain no petroleum-based solvents, meet or exceed state standards for V.O.C. (volatile organic compounds) compliance and ship as non-hazardous freight, the company said.

Innolytics

The California Department of Pesticide Regulations has granted registration for OvoControl P for pigeons. The product effectively controls egg hatchability in pigeons and essentially represents non-hormonal oral contraception for birds, the company said.

OvoControl P (nicarbazin) is EPA registered, and in addition to exclusion and removal, represents another tool in an integrated program of pest bird management. In combination with other mitigation measures, OvoControl P can provide a more comprehensive and effective long-term control program, the company said.

Siamons International

Concrobium Mold Control, from Siamons International, is an EPA-registered product proven to eliminate and prevent mold, the company reported. The patented product contains no bleach or other chemicals. It is used for mold remediation and prevention by pest management professionals. The product requires no special handling or isolation time, and can be used on drywall, lumber, flooring, ceiling tiles, concrete, roofing, fabric and other building materials. It also can be fogged to treat entire rooms or inaccessible spaces, like wall cavities and crawlspaces.

Concrobium Mold Control works as it dries, forming an invisible, antimicrobial coating that surrounds and physically crushes mold and fungal spores. The odorless, colorless coating remains on surfaces to provide continuous protection against mold and mildew growth.
