CB MicrobeMAX volumetric drain foam and MicrobeMAX continuous cleaning system are designed to be green solutions for eliminating grease, oils and fly breeding sites.
The MicrobeMAX volumetric drain foam is a formulation of selected bacteria that consumes and eliminates all fats, oils and grease in drains, P-Traps, sewers and grease trap systems, effectively eliminating breeding and harborage sites for filth flies and other insects, the company says. And the MicrobeMAX continuous cleaning system provides 30 days of automatic control and cleaning by delivering 96 treatments per day into a drain. The metered dispenser pushes the bacterial microbes from a 10-ounce refill that delivers the same power as five gallons of drain cleaning solution, according to the manufacturer.

Innovative Pest Control Products

The ANTOPIA Bait Station from Innovative Pest Control Products is designed to be a user friendly, spill-resistant device that securely accommodates a large volume of ant bait. According to the manufacturer, ANTOPIA holds 7 ounces of liquid or granular baits in a spill-resistant configuration, or up to 14 ounces of bait when spill resistance is not a primary concern. The large volume means less frequent refilling and longer periods between services, the company says. The product is a blow-molded station with a locking fill port, and the bait reservoir and anchor are combined in one piece. Constructed for multi-season use, ANTOPIA is designed to work best with the company’s Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait.

New Image Software

New Image Software has updated its Inspector FX home inspection software. The new version allows inspectors to include estimated repair costs for foreclosed properties in the program’s Deficiency Summary. A customizable disclaimer appears at the bottom of the summary. According to the manufacturer, this feature is for lenders or professional investors — those that just need general ballpark ranges in order to determine the value of their inventory.
As defective items are discovered during an inspection, the inspector can enter his or her best educated guess as to the cost to repair or replace each item. When the Deficiency Summary is printed, the client will receive an itemized list along with a total for the property. Users also are given the opportunity to include all photos taken during the inspection. Online demos and a 10-day trial version of the updated software are available on the company’s Web site.

DuPont Professional Products

DuPont Arilon insecticide, recently registered by the U.S. EPA, is a new non-repellent insect pest control product that provides broad-spectrum control of common insect pests that are active at both interior and exterior application sites. Test results have shown that applications of DuPont Arilon insecticide provide excellent control of target ants, cockroaches and other key insect pest species on a wide variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces, DuPont reports. The Arilon label contains use directions to allow applications in and around both household and commercial/industrial locations.
Formulated as a dry granular concentrate that is diluted with water and then applied, the low-odor, non-clogging, non-staining formulation of Arilon is easy to store, carry, prepare, use and clean up after. While some products may break down faster in sunlight and other environmental conditions, Arilon applied to outdoor surfaces is expected to have excellent residual control over extended periods of time, according to DuPont.
The active ingredient in Arilon has been proven effective on common surfaces including concrete, stainless steel, weathered wood, painted surfaces and ceramic tile. DuPont conducted tests to show that an application of Arilon to exterior weathered surfaces is expected to provide good residual insect pest control.
