Direct Spray Methods

• Standard petri with filter paper under test subjects
• Our own unique (and widely preferred) Direct Spray Cartridge method (See also ‘fogging chambers’ below)
• Field cages placed in large fields or buildings
• Direct spray cartridges can also be placed into one of our fog buildings
• Infested plants can be placed in a fog building

Residual Panels

• Standard range of panel types (stainless steel, various tiles, wood, etc.)
• Can cover with petri dishes and such OR our own mesh covers (to prevent ‘fume affects’ from killing test subjects)
• Can store for long-term testing, or
• Use our Accelerated Environmental Test Chamber for quicker results

Spray Fixture for Delivering Precise Amounts using Aerosols

• Aerosols can require very small amts of product per replicate. This amount is nearly impossible to weigh as 'before and after' and requires a small fraction of a section for a typical test surface. To overcome this, we developed our own custom spray fixture to provide us an accurate application technique.

Secondary Transfer of Insecticides

• Roach baits or residuals can be tested via excrement and carcases in the same protocol.

  

Fog Chambers

• Designed for quick turn around time between tests
• We test in 5.5 cubic foot chambers up to entire buildings
• New! 200 cubic foot chambers

Ant Colony Testing

• Field tests can be done around homes
• We rear several common species of urban ant species for lab testing
• Red Imported Fire Ant (RIFA) field test are very easy for us, no matter what the size test you need. Georgia has no shortage of fire ants.
• Due to the need for label claims such as ‘kills the queen’ we designed a unique lab method for Red Imported Fire Ant Colonies. Other species can be easily handled in the lab, but due to the stinging nature of fire ants, confirming a queen has been killed is difficult. We resolved this problem to help with such label claims for RIFA.

Unique Bedbug Repellency

• Whether you want to repel bed bugs or... don't. We have a variety of methods we have developed to show the degree of repellency to your product (or develop a new one)

Insect Repellent Protocols

• Insect repellents such as essential oils (botanicals) can be very difficult to evaluate. We have taken the time to develop numerous ways of testing repellents for a wide variety of species.
