All of the products listed on our website (including the Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate) can only be applied without a license if you are applying to your own home or property. If you are applying to other properties for profit, you must have an applicator's license.
Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate is not labeled for thrips so we cannot recommend it for them. Essentria All Purpose is labeled for them and contains the same active ingredients minus the Geraniol.
Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate can be mixed with NyGuard IGR for treating mosquitoes. The finished solution can be dispersed using the Solo 451 Mist Blower, hand pump sprayer or backpack sprayer.
It is not necessary to mix Mosquito Barrier and Essentria IC3. They have two different modes of action and will work against each other.
If you are wanting to add a kick to Essentria IC3, we would recommend using Exciter Insecticide. It is a synergist and will help the product work faster.
There is not a specific temperature requirement for applying Essentria IC3 except that temperatures should be above freezing to avoid damaging your spray equipment. Because this concentrate contains botanical oils, we would recommend avoiding spraying sensitive ornamental plants in the hottest part of the day or just before this time, most likely when temperatures may be over 90 degrees. This is just to reduce the possiblity of burning sensitive plants. You will usually see better residual spraying plants that are not already wet from dew or precipitation. We would not recommend spraying when the ground is very wet from precipitation, or when rainfall is expected within 24 hours.
Essentria IC3 should be reapplied every 2-4 weeks.
Yes, Essentria IC3 Insecticide can be used inside of a misting system and other conventional fogging equipment.
Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate and Suspend SC are both insecticides and there would be no valid reason to use them mixed together, one is just natural and the other synthetic. Applying multiple insecticides together does not make either work better and can actually have negative effects of making an area more repellent where insects will avoid the treated areas and neither can do the job of killing them then. Instead it would be best to use either one along with a roach bait and insect growth regulator as directed in our guide here for roach treatments.
Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate can be mixed with mineral oil and applied with a thermal fogger.
Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate is not meant for use on edibles due to the inert ingredients in it. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly at 888-241-8088 for additional information on off label use.
Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate can be used in thermal or ULV foggers for indoor applications only. EcoVia EC is a similar product that is labeled for outdoor fogging applications.
Essentria IC3 Insecticide Concentrate can be applied in a hand pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, hose end sprayer or in a fogging application.
