Bird-B-Gone

www.birdbgone.com

Bird-B-Gone has added Heavy Duty Pond Netting to its line of professional grade bird control products. Recent studies have shown that every year thousands of protected migratory birds die in tailing or detention ponds used for industrial waste or filtering, the company said. Birds mistake these ponds for fresh water and often become poisoned by toxins present in the water. Pond Netting is stretched over these areas and used as a physical barrier to prevent birds from landing in toxic tailing ponds or other water collection sites.

Bird-B-Gone’s new Heavy Duty Pond Netting is made from a durable, UV-stabilized DuPont knotted-mesh nylon and meant for prolonged use in harsh environments. The netting comes in large stock sizes and custom cuts with installation hardware. In addition, Bird-B-Gone’s team of bird control engineers can assist with design and installation advice.

The ServSuite program developed by Service Pro.net will be available on the Apple and Android platforms in the second quarter of 2012. This breakthrough will give pest control companies flexibility to increase revenues and decrease expenses, as they will no longer need special equipment to access client invoices and records or organize their mobile workforce, the firm said. With an Android or Apple-based mobile phone, any pest control manager or field technician can access information from their ServSuite account. Pest control technicians can easily access their schedules, service routes and clients’ information on a mobile phone, tablet or laptop.

For pest control operators using Windows Mobile on portable devices, Service Pro.net has a traditional Windows Mobile 6.5 application designed to run on bar-code and non-bar-code scanner devices.

General Motors

General Motors will sell a compressed natural-gas bi-fuel commercial pickup truck early in the fourth quarter of 2012. GM currently provides a single-source commercial option with the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG cargo vans. The addition of a bi-fuel CNG pickup is designed to help satisfy a broader range of needs for commercial customers looking for a one-stop alternative fuel vehicle from the factory.

GM says the bi-fuel commercial trucks will be covered by GM’s three-year, 36,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty and five-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and vehicle emissions warranty, meeting all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission certification requirements.

IMPCO Automotive is the Tier-One supplier for integrating the CNG bi-fuel delivery and storage system into the pickups alongside the Express and Savana CNG-dedicated cargo vans at IMPCO Automotive’s facility in Union City, Ind.
