Pesticide

Is pesticide safe?

“Safe” can be in vary meanings based on different individuals perspective and questions. In pesticide application viewpoint, safe is refer to those pesticide is suitable to be applied in which methodology (space spray like fogging or ULV misting, or residual spray via spraying or foaming) at which location (sensitive or non-sensitive), or even particularly at area close to human activity or not. Furthermore, safe pesticide need to be a quality, stable and tested pesticide which is not only safe to be applied for the protection of the customer place but instead also safe to the applicator (people whose applying the pesticide. Remember that all pesticides have certain level of toxicity (or i should mentioned every substances does, like detergent, soap, lotion, food preservative etc), the proper way of applying the pesticide is more important to described as “SAFE”.

The recommended Dilution Ratio is tested and studied by manufacturer and used for different condition to achieve the best result, preventing under- or over-dose side effect. Furthermore, to ensure the maximize effectiveness, application rate (volume of applying solution) is the best reference guideline. Expert knowledge is required when there is an encountered abnormal or special case during pest control application.

What is the least-toxic method of controlling pest?

Not necessary using “least-toxic” pesticide considered as the least-toxic method of controlling pest, it could turn out to be worst if misused. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an environmentally sensitive approach to pest control that ensure the correct “least-toxic method” and safe in pest handling. IPM included Pest Identification, Monitoring and Inspection, Analysis and Planning of Suitable Control Program, Preventive Measures etc. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or Technical Team…

Are the product formulation important as the factor in selecting effective pesticide for pest controlling?

Yes and this is also a professional pest control operator (PCO) should learn and have the knowledge of the product formulation specification and its main function in which pest controlling methodology. Common product formulation included EC, SC, EW, SG etc. Understand it will make you a PCO “pharmacist” in giving a right remedy in handling different pest infestation in different requirement of customer.

Equipment

What is the main function of the pest control equipment?

Pest control equipment playing the main role as the “delivering” system to enhanced and help in deliver the pesticide to those target pest efficiently and practically. There are few important considered factors included droplet size, flow rate, nozzle size, environment complexity etc. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or Technical Team…

How accurate of the inspecting equipment Termatrac T3i against termite infestation?

The inspecting performance of Termatrac T3i for the structural termite infestation is much relied onto how the user operate in the field. However, just based on a scientific publication by the CSIRO Division of Entomology, Australia, showing up to 90% correct assessment in the study. However a good training in how to handle this piece of user-friendly detection equipment is important to ensure a effective termite inspection inspection via 3 mode: Thermal, Moisture and Radar. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or Technical Team…

Rodent

How to perform the Rodent monitoring to track their activity?

Traditionally, glue board and snap trap is considering as the monitoring tools for rodent but collected information is limited and may not be precise. Other monitoring method as toxic bait consumption or tracking powder also facing some safety concern. Currently, you may used those non-toxic biomarker bait or either the high technology rodent monitoring system (IOT Box) as the effective short-term or/ and long-term monitoring methodology. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or Technical Team…

Is it possible that the rat population can outgrow its initial popultion number after control is carried out?

Yes. It is possible under certain circumstances, which make the rodent management is challenging and as the long-term management instead of a “blindfold operation”. Those factors involved high-rank rats existence, rat colony construction, environmental complexity etc. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or Technical Team…

Crawling Insect

Are all cockroach gels work effectively for cockroaches control, especially German cockroach, Blattella germanica?

As cockroach gel is based on the concept of food plus active ingredient, which lure them to eat and transfer from one to another as consequence of delayed killing, the good cockroach gel is the most palatable (attractive) gel to the cockroach. Thus, the bait mixture formulation is important to keep the gel in the “fresh and attractive” form and overcome some cockroach which may perform “bait aversion” behaviour as well. Besides that, the gel application methodology also play an important part on it. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or Technical Team…

Is pesticide spraying to ants infestation a good approach?

If all ant colonies can be found within a area, direct spray with chemical is a wise choice to kill them fast and eliminate. However, it is always a mission impossible in the real case, sometime pesticide spraying even repel the survivor ant to spread randomly and form more subcolonies which can mess up the infestation problem. Thus currently the 2 best method is referring to ant gel baiting and non-repellent residual treatment. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or Technical Team…

Flying Insect

Are the flying mosquito killed immediately when contact to the pesticide fogging?

In a research of the dense fogging against flying mosquito, it usually required a 20-30 seconds for a effect. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or Technical Team…

How long can the pesticide fogging droplets last in the air?

Up to an hour, however it depend to the external factors like temperature, humidity and wind velocity. Thus a efficient space spray treatment against flying mosquito required a consideration of the mentioned knowledge adjusting for the fogging or ULV misting application. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or Technical Team…

Termite

What is the main factors needed to be take in count for ensure a good termite soil treatment?

Exp: the soil type will affecting what is the volume of termiticide solution should inject or apply. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or Technical Team…

Which two group of termite infestation will easily noticed with the frass of droppings?

This refer to the Drywood and Dampwood termite infestation. You may further identified it belong to one of them by differentiate the shape of dropping granule. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or Technical Team…

Other

Any difference between stored product pest management compared to general crawling pest management?

As the stored product pest usually located at those sensitive area like warehouse, production room and food safety standard related facilities, the control approach has to be fulfilled the safety of each critical point (CP) and facility processing process. Owing to that, it is recommended to have a good and proper monitoring to provide better treatment area than “blanket spray”. Those monitoring can be carried out effectively with the planning aid by the pheromone trap. For more information, please contact Bentz Jaz Business Representative or  Technical Team…
