Bird BLazer
World’s first bird-deterrent laser for indoor use
Lasers are a well-established method of deterring birds, most notably the use of handheld lasers on airfields to prevent devastating loss of time, equipment and lives from bird strikes. Developing this proven technology, Bird-X announces the world’s first indoor-use bird deterrent laser. It combats the expense, unsightliness and disease associated with birds and their droppings. This Bird BLazer fills the need identified by our 44 years of customer input and experience with bird problems at municipal, industrial and commercial buildings.
BLazer uses state-of-the-art “fat beam” laser technology, in dozens of constantly changing patterns, to disrupt pigeons, sparrows, starlings, swallows and other birds. It covers up to 10,000 square feet and is recommended for use in plants, warehouses, parking facilities, loading docks, sports arenas, distribution centers, transit facilities and more.
BLazer brings an exponential increase in new uses for previously proven effective laser technology: plants, warehouses, parking facilities, loading docks, sports arenas, distribution centers, transit facilities and more. In addition, BLazer eliminates the wasted man-hour problem as well. This laser is not handheld, but rather operates on 110-volt electricity 24/7 with no oversight or maintenance required — all while incorporating constant change in its output to prevent acclimation.
The laser is available immediately at an introductory price of $995 (regular price to be $1350). Bird BLazer includes a 6-foot power cord, remote control, two security keys, mounting hardware and instructions featuring an overview of the issues relevant to birds and their droppings, plus tips on bird management. Distributors welcome.
Central Life Sciences
Zoecon® Professional Products Introduces Smaller Catalyst® Insecticide Bottle
Zoecon Professional Products, a division of Wellmark International dba Central Life Sciences, has introduced a convenient and easy-to-use bottle for its Catalyst insecticide. The new 16-oz. bottle allows for fast, easy and accurate dilution with water. It replaces the 32-oz. and 64-oz. Catalyst sizes.
Catalyst is the product of choice for tough pest infestations in commercial crack and crevice treatments. Catalyst offers quick knockdown of roaches, ants, spiders, stored product pests, fruit and drain flies — including those in food-service environments. Catalyst is a stable, low-odor, water-based formulation that kills even bait-averse roaches on contact.
The Catalyst formulation creates long-lasting residual protection that can withstand high heat and humidity on a variety of surfaces, including stainless steel and fiberglass.
For a one-two punch, Catalyst may be used in a combination program with an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) such as Gentrol®.
To learn more about Catalyst, contact a Zoecon distributor, call 800/248-7763 or visit www.zoecon.com. Catalyst, Gentrol® and Zoecon are registered trademarks of Wellmark International.
Features and Benefits:
- Non-repellant, can be used in baiting programs without concern for turning roaches off baits.
- Excellent for initial clean outs, providing quick knockdown of heavy infestations.
- Use in a rotational program for resistance management, especially in situations where bait-averse roaches are a problem.
- Catalyst can be tank-mixed with IGRs like Gentrol for an unstoppable combination in cockroach control.
- Highly effective on both porous and non-porous surfaces.
Shockstrip Deterrent System
Keeps Birds Away
Shockstrip track features two stainless steel strip conductors adhered to an ultraviolet-stable PVC compound. The track is powered by a high-voltage, low-ampere intermittent pulse from a solar powered or 110-volt charge unit. Birds are not harmed by the charge, but are conditioned to not return. Fly-Bye’s heavily insulated lead wire delivers the pulsed current from the charge unit to the track.
Shockstrip electrified bird deterrent system is effective against most species of birds. It deters them from loafing, roosting and landing on ledges at all pressure levels. This system is recommended for high-pressure or high-visibility situations.
Solar-powered charge units require a minimum two hours of direct sunlight to maintain a charge. They can be left outside in the weather, unlike a 110-volt charger.
Adjustable connectors allow easy installation and are able to create any angle necessary for proper installation.
Not only is Fly-Bye’s Shockstrip system easy to install and maintain, but it is competitively priced. At $1.75 per foot, it is hard to find a better price for the high quality materials you receive using the Shockstrip system.
Earth Care
Earth Care Odor Remover Bag Takes Care of Odors Fast
The Earth Care Odor Remover Bag is unique when it comes to getting rid of dead rodent odors. It is the only product of its kind that will eliminate callbacks for the PCO, as it keeps on working to absorb the stench from a dead carcass even if the carcass is not removed.

The product is safe even if eaten and it is guaranteed to work, plus it also absorbs odors from musty mildew for those that do mold remediation. They are great to use in commercial accounts with trash Dumpster® rooms to rid foul odors. The bags are available at most distributors.

The success of these powerful weapons comes from their ability to penetrate into Deep Harborage Areas.

Your customers spend time and energy to maintain their lawns in excellent condition. When mole damage happens and you are called, use the new Magnum Mole Trap before the damage becomes rampant. The Magnum Mole Trap is a new, quick, efficient tool to get rid of their problem; you are able to set a few traps in the affected area in a short amount of time. This gives a quick turnaround for your crews and satisfaction for your customers.
Whether working on an old estate, a townhouse lawn or majestic golf course, the new Magnum Mole Trap is the efficient tool for the professional pest control company to get effective results.

Made in the United States, the new Magnum Mole Trap is made of heavy-duty robust materials with a 71 percent longer trap zone. The added length of the trap zone helps eliminate false trips when the mole pushes dirt while clearing his tunnel and tripping the trap before he is under the trap zone — like older style traps. The new automatic cam arming system requires 28 percent less effort to set than other models although it has 76 percent more power, using two springs instead of one. It has a precision activation trigger and manual safety release, which is less susceptible to surface vibrations. In other words, it is the most effective and safe solution for getting rid of moles.
Wholesale discounts are available to qualified companies. Every Magnum Mole Trap is 100 percent backed by the manufacturer with a one-year limited warranty. Be one of the first to get this new Magnum Mole Trap and see the difference a good product makes.

Exponent® Insecticide Synergist
Raise insecticide performance to the next level!

insects — including resistant insect populations.
While Exponent has no insecticidal properties of its own, Exponent works by interfering with an insect’s natural ability to detoxify insecticidal compounds — allowing the primary insecticide you are using to perform at a higher level.
- Exponent is proven to increase performance of insecticides by increasing insect susceptibility to a range of insecticidal active ingredients.
- Use Exponent in a tank mix to improve the control of insect populations — including many resistant insect strains.

Rodent Guard
Protects Homes from Rodents and Other Pests
The Rodent Guard protects homes from rodents and other pests. It connects to the end of the downspout on the ground of existing home gutter systems, and blocks pests from going into drain pipes and climbing to roofs.
The Rodent Guard consists of a base and detachable front cover molded from ultra-tough PVC alloy that does not rust or deteriorate. The mesh design of the cover allows passage of water but prevents passage of rodents. The base and detachable cover form a single unit that blends cosmetically with the house. To install, simply push the Rodent Guard onto the downspout and connect it with one self-tapping screw (provided). There are two sizes to accommodate commercially available 2-by 3-inch and 3-by 4-inch downspouts.
A unique feature of this product is that the cover has two slide clips that, when pulled out, allow the cover to be removed for cleaning. Other products on the market, such as screens that are pushed up into the downspout, are hard to remove and clean. With Rodent Guard, homeowners simply snap off the cover, clean the leader, snap the front back on and it locks into place. No tools are required.
The systems in available in white to match existing gutter systems.
Protect-A-Bed’s Bed Bug Bedding Encasements:
An effective tool to manage a bed bug infestation
Protect-A-Bed’s Bed Bug Bedding encasements provide you with an effective tool in helping to manage a bed bug infestation. The three separate encasements we manufacture help to effectively crash a bed bug population on your first visit and lessen the inordinate amount of time typically spent on the structurally complex bedding by restricting the movement of migrating bed bugs as well as making them readily identifiable and easy to spot.
All of our encasements use the patented BugLock with Secure Seal enclosure system which has been scientifically proven to be completely bed bug proof. BugLock with Secure Seal incorporates micro-zipper teeth for an extra tight seal and a sealed safety trench that is stitched around the typically vulnerable zipper clasp, which allows for error without losing its effectiveness. Protect-A-Bed has taken the protection even further with the addition of Secure Seal, which allows you to permanently keep the encasement on the bedding so non-approved people do not inadvertently or purposefully remove the encasement.
Protect-A-Bed’s bed bug-proof, bite-proof, entry-proof and escape-proof encasements are easy to use, comfortable to sleep on and provide the pest control operator with the best tool to help manage a bed bug infestation.

Tamlyn Weep Hole Covers
Keep unwanted pests out
Tamlyn is a family owned manufacturer and distributor of products for the home and home building industries. Founded in 1971 by Ron and Jean Tamlyn, we have developed patented weep hole covers to allow masonry weep holes to ventilate moisture while denying access by unwanted pests like rodents, spiders, snakes, lizards, etc.
New home buyers should request the Tamlyn new construction weep hole cover. Installed by the mason contractor during construction, it has a patented shield to block mortar from clogging the back of the weep hole, thus greatly aiding in air flow and elimination of moisture from the wall cavity, while keeping out common pests desperately trying to gain entrance to the home through the weep holes. Mice for example can enter through a space as small as ¼ inch.
The Tamlyn retrofit weep hole cover can be installed anytime and also blocks pests from entering the home through the numerous and necessary weep holes in masonry construction (the more the better). This product can easily be incorporated and installed by the pest control professional as part of their homeowner services package.
Both these Tamlyn products achieve green building goals of increasing indoor air quality by keeping pests from entering and possibly dying inside the home, and do it naturally without pesticides.
Thermal Remediation from TEMP-AIR
Bake Bed Bugs with Electric Heat Treatment Equipment Packages
In response to insecticide-resistant bed bugs, Thermal Remediation from TEMP-AIR is now introducing its line of electric heat treatment equipment to the pest control industry, from stand-alone portable electric packages to complete, integrated trailer systems.

Designed for portability and discretion, the electric heaters roll easily from room to room and job to job.
The basic package is perfect for hotel rooms and smaller spaces, and includes two EBB-115V heaters. For larger applications and the ability to rapidly deploy heat, the trailer-mounted package includes its own power source — a 40 kW 480V diesel generator — and four EBB-480V heaters. All packages include high temperature fans, a proprietary temperature monitoring system, accessories and basic equipment and application training.
