Whitmire Micro-Gen

Whitmire Micro-Gen has introduced the Vector Eclipse, the latest member of its Vector family of fly control products. To pest control customers, the Vector Eclipse looks like an attractive wall sconce. Its handsome, contemporary design is right at home in any front-of-house restaurant setting, the company said.

Whitmire Micro-Gen’s engineers and designers achieved this look with a sleek, brushed aluminum cover and a low-energy LED accent light that further disguise its true purpose. Instead of hiding the Vector Eclipse, restaurants can use multiple units as accent lighting fixtures, giving them better catch. The aluminum covers can even be customized to better match restaurant décor.
Each unit houses two 15-watt UV bulbs that produce 30 watts of insect-attracting UV light. The Vector Light Blades actually channel light forward for increased range and efficacy. Its hinged cover makes servicing quick and easy. And the Vector Eclipse uses Vector universal glueboards — no need to stock an additional SKU on service vehicles.

Keen Mill

The professional grade robust Magnum Mole Trap is designed with dual springs for greater striking power and a longer trap zone for improved effectiveness. The trap uses a unique strap and cam arming system that requires minimal force to lift and set. The strap also becomes a marking flag to let the owner know when the trap has fired.

Magnum Mole Trap uses the over-center cam arming system that only requires 18 pounds of force to set the dual springs. The springs have a total of 49 pounds of striking force. The Magnum Mole Trap uses eight spikes that create a 71 percent longer trap zone, and a 48 percent larger trap area than previous models, the company said. The traps are made in the United States.

MGK
www.mgkpro.com
JetStream Water-Based Contact Insecticide, new from MGK, is a water-based fogging concentrate featuring Polymeric Surfactant System technology. This new technology delivers the performance from an oil-based fogging concentrate without the spotting, marking, flammability and clean-up issues of oil-based products, the company said.

JetStream is a dual-synergized 1 percent pyrethrum fogging concentrate. JetStream’s formula delivers more killing power per fluid ounce, the company said, because JetStream delivers 24 percent more active ingredient per fluid ounce. JetStream controls crawling and flying insects, and is highly flexible. JetStream mixes readily with water, and can be used as a surface spray through a conventional sprayer. JetStream also can be diluted with water to achieve a .5 percent pyrethrum concentration for situations where fogging a lower concentration level of pyrethrum is appropriate.

Measuring 14 inches tall and 10 inches wide, the CMC100 fits easily in low-clearance areas, on a shelf or in the corner of a room.

J.T. Eaton
www.jteaton.com
J.T. Eaton introduces its JAWZ line of mouse and rat snap traps. The heavy-duty plastic traps are not only reusable, they’re made with 80 percent recycled plastic. The JAWZ traps can be set by foot, eliminating the worry of catching a finger during the placement process. The low-profile traps can be used against a wall, but are equally effective in a bait station — particularly J.T. Eaton’s 401STS snap trap station.

The traps feature a reservoir that holds liquid, granular or solid bait. The black plastic traps are easy to clean, which is a particular benefit in food plant situations.

The system does not involve software, computers or downloading. When a vehicle returns from an account, PCOs need to simply unlock the Atrol II and pull the chart out. They’ll be able to see in an instant who has taken long lunch breaks, made unauthorized stops or taken a long route to a customer, the company said.

Both models are equipped with a quick-release buckle shoulder strap for easy carrying and feature Streamlight’s limited lifetime warranty.

Qualcomm
www.qualcomm.com
Qualcomm has released its OmniVision Metro service offering, Service Fleet Manager, designed to meet the unique needs of local service-based businesses that are centered in metropolitan areas and have mobile resources.

Leveraging the graphical user interface of this Web-based OmniVision Metro service, pest management companies can identify the location of vehicles, monitor vehicle use, analyze and manage asset costs and increase overall operational efficiency and productivity, the company said.

Service Fleet Manager also can help improve labor efficiency and increase fuel efficiency, the company said. It can calculate engine idle time, deter risky driver behavior, locate stolen vehicles and generate reports about off-hour vehicle usage.

Quick Draw Clip System
www.clipsystems.com
The Quick Draw Clip System offers an instant, accessible and secure way to carry cell phones, GPS, gloves, cameras, tools, keys, two-way radios or anything else pest management professionals need within quick reach. With the fail-proof system, a small button applies to any flat or round object and securely clicks to a plastic clip and can effortlessly be released by pressing with one finger the top of the clip, the company said.

This system makes it convenient for pest management professionals to carry items right at their hip that can be accessed quickly and keep their hands free to do other things. If they want to carry their keys, they can use the company’s ring with button attached.

The new clip comes in five colors, and a lifetime guarantee: If the clip is broken it can be sent back to the company, which will send out a new one. The clips come in two sizes: One size fits the button, and the other will fit current commercially available buttons. All Quick Draw Clip Systems products are manufactured in the United States.

Downey Products
www.global-accessories.com/corp
Downey Products’ Top Spin and Quick Flip soft tonneau covers are now available for 2008 Chevrolet/GMC pickups including the Silverado, Sierra, Colorado and Canyon (all cab and box configurations). PCOs can choose how to access their truck bed — by rolling the cover back or flipping it up.

The Top Spin is a top-mount, roll-up tonneau with an advanced bed rail design that minimizes engagement of the cover’s Velcro fabric fastening system until it is ready to be secured — thus extending the Velcro’s useful lifespan, the company said.

A heavy-duty rear rail incorporates a spring-loaded auto latch that engages the rail to lock the cover in place. A pull cord on the cover’s underside easily disengages the latch. The cover can then be secured to the cab rail using an integrated buckle strap, or removed completely using spring-loaded auto latches, when full access to the bed is required. The cover ships assembled, which makes installation (and operation) a fast and simple one-person process.
The Quick Flip is a tri-fold cover that can be opened in seconds by releasing two cam clamps mounted at the rear of the truck bed, sliding them away from the bed rails, then folding back the cover.
