EcoPCO® AR-X Multi-Purpose Insecticide is designed to offer a more environmentally friendly approach to pest control, particularly suitable for areas where safety and minimal environmental impact are priorities. With 1% 2-Phenethyl Propionate and 0.4% Pyrethrins as its active ingredients, this product leverages the insecticidal properties of these compounds effectively.
Active Ingredients:
- 2-Phenethyl Propionate (1%): This is a naturally occurring compound found in various plants. It’s known for its effectiveness as an insecticide, particularly because it disrupts the functioning of pests without posing significant risks to humans or non-target wildlife. Its inclusion in EcoPCO® AR-X underscores the product’s focus on safety and environmental responsibility.
- Pyrethrins (0.4%): Extracted from chrysanthemum flowers, pyrethrins are well-regarded for their insecticidal properties. They act quickly to knock down and kill insects by targeting their nervous systems. The low concentration ensures effectiveness against pests while minimizing potential harm to other organisms.
Key Features:
- Dual Botanical Ingredients: The combination of 2-Phenethyl Propionate and Pyrethrins provides a potent effect against a wide range of pests, ensuring long-lasting residual activity.
- Environmentally Friendly: The absence of PBO (Piperonyl Butoxide) and CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) in its formulation makes EcoPCO® AR-X a more sustainable choice for pest control. PBO is often used to enhance the efficacy of pyrethrin-based products, but it can pose environmental and health risks. Similarly, CFCs, once common in aerosol products, have been phased out due to their harmful effects on the ozone layer.
- Versatile Use: Approved for both interior and exterior applications, and even in food handling areas, the product’s flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of environments, from homes and gardens to commercial and industrial settings.
- Sensitive Accounts: Its formulation makes it particularly suitable for use in environments where safety and minimizing chemical exposure are crucial, such as schools, hospitals, and homes with pets and children.
Application and Safety:
When using EcoPCO® AR-X, it’s essential to follow label directions carefully to ensure effective and safe application. Proper ventilation, avoiding direct contact with skin and eyes, and keeping the product away from food, utensils, and surfaces that come in direct contact with food are critical safety measures. Given its approval for use in food handling areas, it’s crucial to apply it in a manner that adheres to regulatory standards to prevent contamination.
In summary, EcoPCO® AR-X represents a step towards more sustainable and safety-conscious pest control solutions, leveraging the natural insecticidal properties of its active ingredients while minimizing potential harm to humans, non-target species, and the environment.
