Green and Organic Pest Control

The Science of Green Botanical Pesticides

Rockwell Labs, a pioneer of botanical-organic pesticides, uses thyme, cinnamon, rosemary, lemongrass, and cloves to kill, flush, and repel insects. While botanical insecticides might not have the same residual strength as synthetic pesticides, their benefits outweigh their limitations. Extensive scientific research went into developing the botanical formula for EcoVia, and it has proven to be effective without having any negative effects on people, animals, or the environment.

1. Fast-Acting: Fast-acting botanical pesticides. Provides both rapid knockdown and residual kill faster than most pesticides (synthetic pyrethroids).
2. Broader Label: EcoVia insecticides offer fewer label limitations than pyrethroids. It can eliminate aphids, ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, flies, kudzu bugs, mosquitoes, spiders, stink bugs, ticks, wasps, white flies, and more! Labeled for both indoor and outdoor uses, including livestock facilities
3. Safer Near Water and Agriculture: EcoVia organic botanicals are ideal for edible and ornamental plants and can be used around water. This makes it an ideal pest-control option.
4. Vapor-Action: Botanical vapors outlast pyrethroids, which is crucial for mosquito control programs.
5. Excellent Flushing: Botanical insecticides "flush out" cockroaches from their hiding spots, which is critical for effective cockroach control. Botanical aerosols have a crack and crevice straw that fits into voids, providing a rapid knockdown and flush.
6. No Resistance: There is no known resistance to botanical pesticides. Bed bugs, roaches, and flies develop tolerance to some synthetic pyrethroids, which is why this non-resistance trait is beneficial.
7. School Notifications: Classified as a minimum risk FIFRA 25 (b) exempts botanical pesticides; the EcoVia line is exempt from notifications of pesticides used in schools (in most states). Some states do require this notification, so check your proper state laws.

Conclusion: 

Botanical pest management approaches are sometimes criticized for their limited residual lifespan. Rockwell Labs has developed a line of organic botanical products with plant oils that are highly effective and environmentally friendly.
