Bell Laboratories

Bell Laboratories introduced Detex soft bait, a non-toxic monitoring soft bait with Lumitrack. Detex Soft Bait is a highly palatable, non-toxic bait formulated with Lumitrack for monitoring and pre-baiting, the company reports. The soft bait formulation makes it an essential element in an IPM program, especially in environments where rodents are used to fatty or oily diets, Bell says.

Detex Soft Bait with Lumitrack is formulated for sustained palatability to quickly gain and hold rodent acceptance. Once rodents consume the bait, Lumitrack enables PMPs to identify and track rodents faster and easier, Bell reports. Droppings from rodents that have consumed Lumitrack glow neon green under black light, enabling PMPs to identify the species and locate rodent entry points, pathways and harborage areas.

Bell said the soft bait is unaffected by freezing temperatures and is resistant to mold and moisture in hot conditions. An extruded hole in the center of the bait makes it easy to place the sachets on bait securing rods.

Clarke

www.clarke.com

Clarke is launching EarthRight, a service that pairs two products with earth-friendly applications, with pilot tests in three Chicago-area communities and plans to roll out the service nationwide.

EarthRight pairs Natular larvicide and Merus adulticide to eliminate larvae and adult mosquitoes. The products are Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) listed, so they can be used in and around organic gardens and farms. EarthRight uses GPS to route field technicians to monitor breeding sites and treatment locations and incorporates earth-friendly applications for mosquito control, including bicycles, small-footprint trucks and electric applicators for night-time treatments.

Natular won the EPA’s Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award in 2010, and was the first “Reduced Risk” larvicide that EPA registered. It also was the first new active ingredient for public health in nearly three decades, the company said. Merus, with an active ingredient derived from chrysanthemum flowers, is the first OMRI listed adulticide for wide-area mosquito control.
