QuestSpecialty To Introduce EPA 25(b) Exempt, Non-Toxic PROWLER Lice Killer At ISSA Show QuestSpecialty Corporation has added to its line of non-toxic, EPA 25(b) exempt pest control products with PROWLER Lice Killer, formulated to kill lice on porous and non-porous surfaces. It is recommended for treating inanimate environmental surfaces such as pillows, furniture, clothing, lockers, coat racks, and other surfaces where there has been a lice outbreak.
“PROWLER Lice Killer does not require EPA registration as it is formulated with ingredients identified by the EPA as having low to no toxicity. It uses the same technology as LIGHTS OUT Bed Bug Killer, another QuestSpecialty pest control product, which is EPA 25(b) exempt. Both products have third-party certification regarding effectiveness,” according to QuestSpecialty.
“Rather than using neurotransmitter chemicals, which cause death by attacking the insect’s nervous system, these products use mechanical killing agents which cause death by dehydration. The precisely manufactured formulations, comprised of ingredients which qualify for the 25(b) exemption in the EPA Pesticide Regulations or considered G.R.A.S (Generally Regarded as Safe), cause mortality
by breaking down the insect’s exoskeleton, thus causing dehydration.” Alex Pratt, director of technical services at QuestSpecialty Corporation said, “In addition to offering customers a non-toxic solution to these bothersome bugs, there are no concerns attached to EPA registration as the products don’t need to be EPA registered, that means distributors and end-users won’t

have compliance concerns with EPA and the pesticide regulatory agent in their state. It also means there is no certification needed for application, mandatory notification prior to use, and there is no concern about reports regarding improper application.”
Other products in the QuestSpecialty line of minimum risk pest control products are ADIOS Drain Fly Repellent and DEEP SIX Lice Treatment Spray (for use on the body). Visit www.QuestSpecialty.com for more information. ISSA Booth 1655.
From QuestSpecialty: NSF Line Of Specialty Chemicals QuestSpecialty now offers a full line of NSF Certified specialty chemicals formulated for cleaning and lubricating machines in food, beverage, cosmetic or pharmaceutical manufacturing, as well as in venues handling or serving food. “These types of facilities often specify NSF certification as a pre-requisite for purchase. USDA authorization is also acceptable as it is the precursor to NSF certification,” said a QuestSpecialty representative. “Products earning USDA authorization before the NSF transition are still able to use the USDA classification to show they meet the regulatory requirements,” said Alex Pratt, lead chemist for QuestSpecialty Corporation. “Purchasing products, which are either NSF Certified or USDA Authorized, gives assurance to users the products have been evaluated, tested, and comply with public health standards.” For general cleaning (NSF A1) where food is manufactured, processed, prepared, or served and direct food contact is not intended, QuestSpecialty offers 10 different products including the new NU-VIEW Concession & Food Equipment Cleaner and MAIN EVENT Food Surface Cleaner/Degreaser.
QuestSpecialty also offers 12 lubricants (NSF H1) appropriate for these facilities. Available in aerosols, liquid, and in tubes, these lubricating products are recom-
mended for use on conveyors, chains, gears, cables, bearings, o-rings, pumps, and valves. For cleaning freezer walls and floors (NSF A5), QuestSpecialty introduces GLACIER CLEAN Heavy-Duty Freezer Cleaner. It penetrates ice for removal of dirt, grease, and grime without defrosting. QuestSpecialty manufactures over 400 different products, with most of them available for private label, including aerosols (2oz. to 24-oz.) and liquids (3-oz. to rail cars). Custom packaging is also available reflecting standard acceptable case packs. , Visit ISSA booth 1655 or www.QuestSpecialty.com.
