Automatic insect control system are so versatile they can be installed conveniently at the time of new construction, when additions are added or in already existing areas to effectively reduce insect populations - automatically.

Horse Stable Installation
For the best control we recommend placing one (1) spray nozzle assembly in the center of each 10' x 10' to 12' x 12' stall and one (1) spray nozzle assembly near each aisleway door.
Nozzle assemblies are not needed in feed areas, wash areas or tack rooms - excellent control is accomplished by installing nozzle assemblies in areas that house horses only.
Nozzle assemblies down the aisleway area are not needed but can be added per customer request.

Dairy & Cattle Barn Installation
Holding areas and loafing sheds provide a good area for installation. Controlling insects in these areas provides a more comfortable atmosphere for livestock. Comfort often leads to increased production and higher yields.

One (1) spray nozzle assembly per 100 square feet with-in the interior of a shed or barn and one (1) spray nozzle assembly every 10 feet over any open side walls.

Kennel Installation
Both the interior and exterior areas of a kennel offer excellent spots for nozzle installations. Automatic spraying lowers mosquito and fly popualtions, thus adding comfort to animals.

Exterior: One (1) spray nozzle assembly per average length kennel run.
Interior: One (1) spray nozzle assembly for every 80 - 100 square feet.

Larvicides are insecticides that target larvae in the breeding habitat prior to the emergence of the adult form. As an active ingredient Summit incorporates Bacillus thurengiensis subsp. Israelensis (Bti) in multiple formulations. Bti is a target specific bacteria discovered in the deserts of Israel . This non-living, non-viable bacteria is one effective and environmentally benign larvicides utilized in insect control. Deadly to mosquitoes when ingested by its larvae, and that of the other typical pest flies of the insect family Diptera (true flies), professional applicators and homeowners alike can be sure they will not adversely harm non-target organisms.

Pyrethrins are contact poisons which quickly penetrate the nerve system of the insect. A few minutes after application, the insect cannot move or fly away. But, a "knockdown dose" does not mean a killing dose. The natural pyrethrins are swiftly detoxified by enzymes in the insect. Thus, some pests will recover. To delay the enzyme action so a lethal dose is assured, organophosphates, carbamates, or synergists may be added to the pyrethrins.

Pyrethrum is a botanical insecticide produced primarily in the flowers of Tanacetum cinerariaefolium, a species of the chrysanthemum plant family. Pyrethrum plants have historically been grown in commercial quantities in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Papua New Guinea. Over the past decade, Tasmania and Uganda began producing pyrethrum. Today Kenya and Tasmania are the largest pyrethrum growing and producing countries.

In East Africa the mature pyrethrum flowers are picked by hand, sun dried to remove moisture, and sent to a processing plant for extraction of the active ingredient-pyrethrins, a mixture of six closely related esters. In Tasmania the flowers have been bred to synchronously flower so they can be mechanically harvested. As in Africa, the flowers are sun dried and processed to extract the insecticide pyrethrum.

Pyrethrum is an ancient insecticide. The insecticide properties of the flowers were documented in the early 1800’s but it is suspected that the flowers were used to kill insects a considerable time earlier. The first commercially available products were powders made from ground flowers and later crude oil extractions became popular. Today, the refining of crude pyrethrum extract to remove the plant material, waxes, etc. is a highly complex process resulting in a very high grade product.

Pyrethrum has been used effectively to control insects for decades and is non-persistent, decomposing rapidly in the environment. This rapid degradation of pyrethrum has resulted in little known cases of insect resistance making it an excellent choice for the control of agricultural pests.
