Liphatech
Liphatech has enhanced the design of its tamper-resistant AEGIS-RP bait station to include a host of new features — including rounded inside corners where the walls and floors meet that make cleaning the station fast and easy, the company says. While the rounded corners make cleanout easier, a side benefit is the addition of plastic to the corners, which has further increased the integrity of the station’s platform/floor. The end result is a structurally more robust station designed to withstand the rigors of virtually any application, Liphatech reports.
The new AEGIS-RP also features a precautionary statement in Spanish, which is in addition to a statement in English. Additionally, the AEGIS-RP brand name is more prominently displayed, making the station more easily identifiable.

Bayer Environmental Science
Bayer Environmental Science reports that the 25-5 Pyrenone Public Health Insecticide will be packaged in 30-gallon returnable and refillable drums. The new drums have a special fitting that allows access through a coupler and makes it easier for mosquito control professionals to use, Bayer reports. Also, the mixer/loader has far less exposure due to the "closed" system while loading.
County and district officials no longer have a disposal concern because of the new system’s simplicity, the company reports. Customers call the 800-number listed on the drum and the drum recycler returns, cleans, and delivers the drum back to Bayer for re-filling. The new 30-gallon returnable drum is in addition to the 30-gallon Aqua-Reslin drum and all of the company’s 275-gallon sizes of Scourge and Permanone. All of these insecticides are returnable and refillable.

The Trapper Snap Trap has been completely redesigned with increased power and no false triggers, the manufacturer reports. A new, integrated bait cup ensures proper baiting, maximizing trap effectiveness. The product can be used alone or in bait stations. Mice can enter the trap from either the front or the side. No-touch disposal is easy, safe and sanitary. The Trapper Snap Trap features a sleek, easy-to use design and patented interlocking teeth.
Another Bell Laboratories product, Provoke, is a food-based matrix targeted specifically to the feeding preferences of mice. It is the first of its kind and the only attractant formulated specifically for mice, according to the manufacturer. Provoke is non-toxic and hypoallergenic so it can be used in schools where the use of peanut butter is prohibited. Provoke can be dispensed onto any mouse trap via a no-drip squeeze bottle that fits conveniently in a technician’s pocket. Plus, it is water soluble, so it won’t stain clothing or carpet, Bell Laboratories says.

ADAPCO
Cognis Corporation, an affiliate of Cognis GmbH worldwide and manufacturer of specialty chemicals, has been granted Environmental Protection Agency approval for a new granular formulation of its liquid mosquito control product, Agnique MMF (monomolecular film).

The granule design will allow the product to penetrate canopies formed by trees and other foliage, guaranteeing that the product reaches its desired target. Once in contact with water, the product is self-spreading, has a long residual period and provides full life stage mosquito control, ADAPCO reports.
