F.Y.I. Rosecare stocks many pest control, prevention and exclusion products
and not all of them are toxic solutions to your pest problems. Snail
Barr for example is a copper banding product which is very effective
for preventing snails from moving up into your valuable trees. Sluggo
is a new snail bait which contains the active ingredient Iron Phosphate. This
works as a stomach poisoning for snails and also serves as a fertilizer for
the plants it protects. An old fashion material like Saf-T-Side
is a highly refined oil that works by simply smothering the target insect pests
when they are coated. We stock many different baits like Maxforce,
Drax,
and others which are not indiscriminately spread or sprayed but rather strategically
placed where problem pests and not non targets can find them. There are exciting
new chemistries; insect growth regulators like Endeavor
and Enstar
which work on very specific insect species, and pheromone traps like The
Pantry Pest for luring and capturing specific insect pests. There are
also biological insecticides containing beneficial bacteria like Dipel
and Botanigard
which control specific insect pests.
On many occasions we are asked for specific brand name products which we may
or may not stock. In many cases we'll have the product you are looking for under
a different trade name. Many pesticides packaged by different companies have
different trade names even though they contain the same active ingredient.
For your information we've provided a handy conversion table cross referencing
the common name with their trade names. For most, we've also identified the
chemical class for those of you developing rotation spray programs to prevent
insect resistance.
