Lawn care operators seeking a solution to treat pesky mosquitoes have a new option from Envu — Barricor Essential Mosquito Control. Formulated and tested to meet evolving industry needs, the FIFRA 25(b) essential oil-based insecticide delivers a powerful 24-hour* mortality rate for Aedes mosquitoes — all while being safe for bees and butterflies.
“In the years following COVID-19, the desire to spend more time outdoors has only grown, making outdoor living spaces more important than ever,” said Shawn Mullen, entomologist and key account manager, Envu Mosquito Management. “Lawn care operators have a unique opportunity to help customers create safer, more enjoyable environments, free from the nuisance and disease risks mosquitoes can bring.”
Homeowners continue to prioritize their outdoor living spaces, but this enjoyment is often compromised by mosquitoes, which pose nuisance and health risks through diseases like West Nile virus, Zika, and eastern equine encephalitis. Homeowners are concerned about mosquitoes and want to take back their backyards.
“As demand grows for eco-friendly mosquito control solutions, we are committed to providing products that meet both performance and environmental compatibility expectations,” said Gokhan Vergon, head of pest management and public health at Envu. “Barricor Essential Mosquito Control is a direct response to the needs of the lawn care operator who requires an effective, reliable and proven solution.”
Barricor Essential Mosquito Control’s formulation is water-based and easy to mix. The formulation is stable and does not separate over 24 hours, meaning operators don’t need to remix. With no signal word or PPE required**, the solution also enhances applicator safety and is safe for use in a wide range of environments, including residential and commercial outdoor spaces. It has 2-4 times less active material, meaning less irritation for the operator, less staining, and less wear and tear on the equipment.
Barricor Essential Mosquito Control is the latest addition to the expanding Envu portfolio of eco-friendly mosquito control solutions, reinforcing the company’s dedication to sustainable and customer-focused product development.
*24 hours for Aedes and 48 hours for Culex when used as directed.
**No PPE is required to mix and apply unless required by applicable law. If so, wear adequate eye protection and gloves.
