Essentria IC3, manufactured by Zoecon, is a natural, organic insecticide concentrate that immediately controls flying and crawling pests like cockroaches within 15 minutes of application.

This flexible broad-spectrum insecticide classifies as an EPA FIFRA 25(b) exempt, meaning it poses little risk to the environment such as supermarkets when applied according to the product label instructions.

Essentria IC3 contains botanically derived active ingredients like rosemary oil 10.0%, geraniol 5.0%, and peppermint oil 2.0%. These essential oils offer a natural, and safe approach to a broad range of pests both indoor and outdoors.

Tools Needed

To apply Essentria IC3, you will need to use a handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, professional skid sprayer, compressed air sprayer, power sprayer, mist sprayers, mist blowers, automated spray systems, and/ or related application technologies.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Essentria IC3 to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Do this by measuring the length and width of the treatment area in feet then multiplying them together (length X width = square footage). For general indoor pest control, dilute at the rate of up to 0.5 to 6 fl. oz. of Essentria IC3 per gallon of water. For fogging applications, mix 4 to 10 fl. oz. of product with sufficient oil to equal 1 gallon of diluted spray then apply at a rate of 1 to 3 fl.  oz. per product per 1,000 cubic feet. For outdoor perimeter treatments, dilute 1 to 8 oz. of product per gallon of water and apply at the rate of 2 gallons per 1,000 square feet or until area is thoroughly wet. For use on turf and grass as a contact spray, use 2 to 4 fl. oz. of product per gallon of water and apply at the rate of 2 to 4 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft.
• Step 2: Fill your selected sprayer with half the amount of water, and then add measured amount of Essentria IC3. Fill your sprayer the rest of the way with remaining half of water and secure the sprayer's lid, then shake the sprayer until solution is thoroughly mixed.
• Step 3: Indoors, spray the mixed Essentria IC3 solution to non-visible areas where these insects are usually found with special attention to cracks and crevices, niches, dark corners, drains and other harborage sites. When spraying outdoors as direct contact spray on grass, you will need to directly spray the pests. For outdoor perimeter applications, spray 3 feet up the structure and 6 feet wide out from the building until the structure and surrounding vegetation is thoroughly wet. To control pests as a fog application, you will need to cover exposed food, food handling surfaces, and close and shut off air conditioning or ventilating equipment. Keep area closed for at least 15 minutes after fog application.
