Gentrol Complete EC3 is a multi-rate formulation that combines the long-term control of Gentrol plus an insecticide for immediate relief for all levels of kitchen infestations, said Zoëcon. Designed for use in food-handling establishments, this combination formula breaks the insect life cycle with Zoëcon’s insect growth regulator (IGR) (S)-hydroprene to prevent rebound, and lambda-cyhalothrin for immediate relief of adult insects.

Gentrol Complete EC3 provides knockdown and lasting control over German cockroaches and other listed pests, said Zoëcon. The product combines an adulticide with Gentrol IGR to deliver broad-spectrum knockdown that breaks the life cycles of German cockroaches, stored product pests, plus fruit flies, drain flies and more.

The active ingredient in Gentrol Complete EC3, (S)-hydroprene, breaks the life cycle of listed insects and prevents rebound infestations. The IGR translocates deep into wall cavities, cracks and crevices to reach insects in hard-to-treat locations, said the company. The breakdown of active Ingredients is 1.5% (S)-hydroprene and 1.5% Lambda-cyhalothrin. 

This product is approved for use in food and non-food areas of restaurants, food manufacturing, processing and servicing establishments. It can also be used as a spot or crack and crevice treatment and as a general surface spray with no tank-mixing required, said Zoëcon.

The Kness Snap-E ProCover is designed to deliver protection for your trapping program. Constructed from durable ABS plastic, the cover is designed to stand up to heavy use, harsh environments and repeated service, resisting stains, odors and wear over time, said Kness.

The ProCover directs rodents into the strike zone for fast, effective results, without distractions or escapes, said the company. The enclosed design keeps traps and catches out of sight, while the slim profile allows for placement in tight, high-activity areas. A see-through tunnel and top inspection holes aim to make monitoring quick and easy without disrupting the setup.

Security and versatility set the product apart, said Kness. The ProCover can be configured as a tamper-resistant station using a zip-tie or screw mount, helping protect against unwanted access from children, pets or non-targets. It also can be mounted vertically, placed over burrows or converted into a bait box, adapting to a range of field conditions.

The product is compatible with two Kness Snap-E traps.
