Pest Management Materials & Products

Two-piece decorative and functional plates that fit around plumbing pipes where they penetrate walls or floors. Creates a tight seal preventing pest entry through gaps around pipes.

Weather-stripping device installed on the bottom of doors to seal the gap between door and threshold, preventing pest entry, drafts, and moisture.

100% silicone caulk that provides flexible, waterproof, long-lasting seal for cracks and gaps. More durable and water-resistant than acrylic latex caulk but not paintable.

Water-based sealant that is paintable and easy to clean up. Siliconized acrylic latex blends flexibility of silicone with paintability of acrylic. Good for interior pest-proofing where paint-matching is needed.

Paste-like material for filling larger holes and gaps in walls, ceilings, and woodwork. Dries hard and can be sanded and painted. Used with spackling knife for application. Essential for pest exclusion work on drywall and plaster.

Flexible foam rope used to fill deep or wide gaps before caulking. Provides backing for sealant, reducing amount of caulk needed and improving seal performance.

Tightly woven copper or stainless steel mesh used to fill holes and gaps around pipes, in walls, and other openings. Rodents cannot chew through copper or stainless steel mesh.

PROFESSIONAL NOTE: Copper mesh is strongly preferred over steel wool for all rodent exclusion work because steel wool rusts and fails, especially in moisture-prone areas. Steel wool may be used for temporary exclusion in dry interior locations only. Must be soapless to avoid deterioration.

Heavy-duty galvanized or stainless steel mesh screen that rodents cannot chew through. Used to screen vents, cover large openings, and create barriers under buildings.

Zippered fabric cover that completely encloses mattress or box spring, trapping any bed bugs inside where they eventually die of starvation (can take 12-18 months). Smooth, bite-proof exterior prevents bed bugs from hiding in tufts and seams. Essential component of bed bug IPM programs. High-quality encasements have bed-bug-proof zippers with small teeth and locking mechanism to prevent escape.

Low-toxicity insecticide dust that kills cockroaches, ants, silverfish, and other crawling insects through contact. Works by abrading insect exoskeleton causing dehydration. Provides long-lasting control in dry areas. LICENSING: Commercial/professional application in New York State requires 7A, 7C, or appropriate certification. Some pure boric acid powder formulations are available for homeowner use, but professional-grade EPA-registered products and commercial application require licensing.

Syringe-applied insecticide gel formulated to attract and kill cockroaches. Cockroaches consume bait and die, often killing others through fecal contamination or cannibalism. Standard treatment method in IPM programs.

Hard blocks of rodenticide formulated to be secured in tamper-resistant bait stations. Rats and mice gnaw blocks, consuming lethal dose. Second-generation anticoagulants require only one feeding to be lethal.

Non-repellent liquid termiticide containing fipronil 9.1%. Industry-leading termite control product with Transfer Effect™ - termites cannot detect treated soil and unknowingly contact, ingest, and transfer product to colony members through contact and trophallaxis. Provides long-lasting protection (10+ years documented). EPA Reg. No. 7969-210. NY DEC registered for structural termite control.

Reduced-risk, non-repellent liquid termiticide containing chlorantraniliprole 18.4%.

Professional-grade silica gel desiccant dust highly effective against bed bugs, fleas, and other crawling insects. Kills by absorbing waxy coating on insect exoskeleton causing dehydration and death. More effective than diatomaceous earth - faster kill and works in higher humidity. Odorless, non-staining, long-lasting (10+ years if kept dry). Low mammalian toxicity. Labeled for crack and crevice application. EPA Reg. No. 73079-7. NY DEC registered.

Natural silica-based desiccant dust made from fossilized diatoms. Kills bed bugs, fleas, and crawling insects by abrading waxy exoskeleton coating causing dehydration. Food-grade DE is safer than filter-grade (pool-grade) DE. Less effective than CimeXa silica gel but available for homeowner use in some formulations. Works best in low-humidity environments. Long-lasting if kept dry.

Dual-active liquid insecticide combining fast-acting pyrethroid (beta-cyfluthrin) with slow-acting neonicotinoid (imidacloprid) for broad-spectrum control. Highly effective against bed bugs, cockroaches, ants, and other labeled pests. Dual mode of action reduces resistance risk. Can be applied as crack/crevice treatment or spot spray. Low odor. EPA Reg. No. 432-1363. NY DEC registered.

Broad-spectrum bed bug spray featuring three active ingredients for enhanced efficacy. Kills bed bugs rapidly on contact plus provides residual control.

Low odor, non-staining formulation. EPA Reg. No. 81268-5. NY DEC registered.

Biological bed bug control product containing fungal spores (Beauveria bassiana). When bed bugs contact treated surfaces, spores adhere to exoskeleton, germinate, and penetrate cuticle, causing death in 3-7 days. Unique mode of action with no resistance development. Long residual (3+ months). Reduced-risk active ingredient. Slow-acting but highly effective for long-term prevention. EPA Reg. No. 82074-1. NY DEC registered.

Point-source insect growth regulator (IGR) device releasing hydroprene vapor continuously for up to 90 days. Prevents immature cockroaches and stored product pests from developing into reproducing adults by disrupting molting process. Small disc adheres to surfaces in enclosed spaces. Ideal for sensitive accounts - no spraying required. Controls German cockroaches, American cockroaches, and stored product beetles. EPA Reg. No. 2724-469. NY DEC registered.

Aerosol IGR spray formulation for treating cracks, crevices, and void spaces. Prevents immature insects from developing into reproducing adults. Labeled for cockroaches, fleas, stored product pests, and bed bugs. Provides residual IGR protection for 120+ days. Non-staining, low odor. Tank-mixed or applied separately from conventional insecticides for comprehensive IPM programs. EPA Reg. No. 2724-351. NY DEC registered.

Slow-acting non-repellent active ingredient allows foraging ants to return to colony and share bait through trophallaxis, achieving colony control. Labeled for indoor and outdoor use. EPA Reg. No. 100-1498. NY DEC registered.

Sugar-based ant gel bait containing thiamethoxam (neonicotinoid), highly attractive to sugar-feeding ants. Effective against Pharaoh, Argentine, Odorous House, Pavement, and other common ant species. Non-repellent mode of action allows worker ants to consume bait and transfer to colony. Labeled for indoor and outdoor use. Provides rapid control. EPA Reg. No. 100-1498 (same EPA number as Advion but different active ingredient). NY DEC registered.

Granular bait formulation for fire ant control. Contains indoxacarb for effective colony elimination. Workers carry bait granules into mound and feed to queen and brood, eliminating entire colony.
