Memorandum –Zero Bugs – Non toxic Pesticide Products
This information is intended to educate as to the problems and negatives that have been associated with other 25 (b), non-toxic formulas. In essence, "they don't work".... therefore the argument might follow, why would someone think ZeroBug's non-toxic formulas do?
What does science teach?
Independent professionally supervised field trials show that it does work. In fact it works very well. And because ZeroBug's formulas contain residual materials, also 100% non-toxic and "organic" they actually do a much better job than the dangerous toxic materials. The formulas are based on science and field use developed over the last 10 years. (See # 3 below)
Here are some of the things that you'll want to know.
Recently we had sent the Cornell University article explaining EPA 25(b) formulas, the USDA's information on which of EPA 25 (b) may also be considered "organic."
1. The Rutgers University study of several 25 (b) products sold as pesticides for bed bugs, (note how many ingredients, though 25 (b) are NOT USDA classified as "organic.")
2. ZappBugs report, a maker of "ovens" into which bed bug infested articles may be place for "heat kill" with some useful observations... pointing out that without the residual element efficiency is almost guaranteed to be lost (with which we agree. So did the Rutger's study) and
3. the Pest Control Technology narration of our one year field trial demonstrating the efficacy of our formulation along with its residual kill as to bed bugs.
4. The attached Wall Street Journal article explains some of their amazing abilities to resist and to have become immune to certain dangerously strong pesticides. (Note the Wall Street article was pointing out the difficulty in 2011. Thus the need to create ever stronger versions and the devastating consequent results we have today.)
Though the articles primarily discuss bed bugs, the idea is that if the difficult to kill bed bugs can be killed, then morphologically similar insects encountered in commercial and household settings will also be killed.
