GPS Insight

GPS Insight announced the release of “Field Service Management For Dummies,” a free e-book written with Wiley Publishing. GPS Insight said the e-book was written to help guide operations executives, business owners and service managers to the right field service management solution for their business without an overload of technical jargon.

The book aims to simplify the shift towards digitization of field services and ensure every organization, regardless of size and digital dexterity, can understand how they should leverage field service management software, said GPS Insight.

Suterra

Suterra announced its newest aerosol mating disruption product, CheckMate Puffer IMM, is now Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) listed and compliant with organic industry standards. As a result, organic commercial food handling and processing facilities can use the product to control Indianmeal moth and other stored product moth species.  

The aerosol device automatically puffs species-specific pheromone into the air to confuse and interrupt mating of moths, lowering pest populations, Suterra said.

The new Puffer IMM can be used in a variety of commercial settings like food manufacturing, milling, storage, distribution and retail settings. CheckMate Puffer IMM is effective at preventing and controlling infestations of Indianmeal moth, Mediterranean flour moth, raisin moth, tropical warehouse moth and tobacco moth for six months or more, the company stated.

Syngenta

Syngenta has launched Advion MicroFlow insect bait, a dry flowable bait that can help control pests like ants and cockroaches in hard-to-reach areas. Advion MicroFlow features the same active ingredient, indoxacarb, and targeted MetaActive effect found in other Advion products. It controls target pests like ants, cockroaches, crickets, pantry pests and more without impacting nontarget organisms, the company said. The product is milled to a fine particle size, allowing it to reach deep within cracks, crevices and hard-to-reach areas inaccessible to gel baits or liquids, Syngenta reported.

The product can be used wherever dust products are normally used, including residential multifamily homes, commercial spaces and food-handling establishments. It features a secondary transfer effect that allows target insects to pass the active ingredient along to nestmates, Syngenta said. Smaller-sized particles adhere to the exoskeletons of pests active in treatment zones, enabling them to carry it back to their harborages, where other pests consume the particles during grooming.

It also features packaging designed for PMPs on the job, the company said. Its 8-ounce jar can attach directly onto power dusters. Included scoops are sized to the opening of popular bulb and bellows dusters to help prevent spills.

Flock-Off

The Flock Off system creates an invisible tuned electromagnetic pulse that prevents birds from landing, resulting in them naturally and humanely relocating, the company says.

Migratory and territorial birds utilize an internal GPS system connected to a protein production in their eyes that allows them to “see” directionally through Earth’s latitudinal and longitudinal gridlines. Flock Off affects this process, creating an electromagnetic “force field” around structures that make it impossible for birds to land, the manufacturer reported. 

Flock Off can be used for commercial buildings, residences, industries, billboards and more, and will protect up to 500 linear feet of structure, Flock Off reported.
