Bell Laboratories

A new bait station for sensitive accounts, Protecta EVO Weighted Landscape, delivers durability that PMPs have come to expect in Bell Laboratories’ tamper-resistant bait stations, the company says. Looking like a rock, the Weighted Landscape is a secure, rat-size bait station designed to blend in with the outdoor environment and is made in the United States. Its realistic color, combined with its naturally textured surface give this bait station the authentic look of a rock, Bell Labs reports.

The Weighted Landscape comes pre-installed with a custom brick that is enclosed with no bolts or screws that can break or crack. The EVO key provides added security and allows for easy opening and closing, especially with the station’s side-opening design, Bell says. Protecta EVO Weighted Landscape can either hold one T-Rex Rat Snap Trap or up to eight 1-ounce BLOX with locking rods.

“Our new Protecta EVO Weighted Landscape is the most realistic bait station available to PMPs in the industry,” says Kate Van Boxel, senior product manager. “We have made conscious efforts towards making this product work harder for you by adding new features that will make the Landscape faster to secure, open, service and clean.”

Rockwell Labs

EcoVia MT Mosquito & Tick Control is among the latest of Rockwell Labs’ FIFRA 25(b) exempt and research-based botanical insecticides, featuring naturally derived active ingredients. EcoVia MT is designed for use in compressed air sprayers, mist blowers and foggers to deliver quick kill control and residual repellency for optimal mosquito and tick management outdoors and in unfinished indoor areas such as attics, basements, garages and sheds, Rockwell Labs says. Its concentrated formula results in low use rates (0.33 ounce/gallon for mosquitoes and deer ticks) and can be fogged over water with no set-back. Like other FIFRA 25(b) products, there are no notification requirements (recommend verification with your state regulations) and no pyrethroid application restrictions. EcoVia MT’s water-based formula will not leave behind an oily residue and is available in a 16-ounce Squeeze-N-Measure bottle and a 64-ounce Tip “N” Measure bottle.
