Auto-San, a manufacturer of health care, hospitality and property management odor control products, introduced its line of Defender Pro products to the pest control industry. The product line is designed to solve multiple odor challenges that pest control operators face when servicing commercial and residential properties, said Auto-San.

Defender Pro hanging socks are designed to neutralize odors in sewers, elevator shafts, dumpster areas, garbage collection areas, industrial plants, water treatment facilities or anywhere that strong, undesirable odors are present.

Defender Pro odor counteract granules are formulated to handle odors from restaurant, institutional, commercial and municipal waste.

Another product from the company, Predator Cleaning, is “safe to use around people, pets and on surfaces not harmed by water, and is laboratory certified Salmonella/shigella-free,” said Auto-San. It meets USDA requirements for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants. It can be used anywhere urine, fecal matter, mold, mildew or any other odor- causing organic matter may be found, the company added.

Bell Laboratories announced that the Weighted Landscape iQ rodent monitoring bait station tray is now available.

The tray fits inside existing Weighted Landscape bait stations for discreet rodent monitoring and works with either rodenticide or rat snap traps. iQ products capture and provide PMPs with previously unknown rodent data, giving service specialists time to conduct rodent control services instead of checking empty traps, the manufacturer said.

“Electronic rodent monitoring is both the present and future of rodent control,” said Patrick Lynch, senior vice president of sales, Bell Laboratories. “With the release of our sixth iQ product, Bell underscores that belief to our distributor and PMP partners.”

The Weighted Landscape iQ tray joins the full iQ lineup of rodent devices with sensors, including Express iQ bait station tray, T-Rex iQ rat trap, 24/7 iQ multiple catch mouse trap, Pulse Rat iQ station and Pulse Mouse iQ station. iQ products have fully integrated, weatherproof rodent sensors, batteries and Bluetooth antennae, Bell said.

Sterifab has been approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to kill COVID-19.

The disinfectant kills 99.9 percent of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in 10 minutes on hard, non-porous surfaces.

It can be used against all stages of bed bug life, as well as bacteria, viruses, fungus, numerous insects, germs and mildew.

The product is available in pint, gallon and 5-gallon containers.

The Wildlife Control Supplies WCS SB357 Magnetic Snap Trap Base uses magnets to secure rat-sized snap traps to metal surfaces such as structural beams, pipes, ducts, dumpsters and other equipment, the company said.

To use, slide a rat-sized snap trap into the base under the tabs and set the trap. The two magnets will hold more than 35 pounds and will not wear out, according to WCS.
