CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports the
ending of the United States’ 8th warmest and 11th
wettest spring on record, entomologists are predicting the beginning of
an increase in flying insects this summer for homes across most of the
country. To combat the nuisance of these insects, Procter & Gamble
(NYSE: PG) has made limited quantities of Zevo™ available to US
consumers. Zevo™ is a new in-home insect control product that
continuously eliminates flying insects without chemical insecticides.

Laboratory tested under the supervision of an entomologist at a public
research university, Zevo™ has been shown to attract and trap the most
common insects, including house flies, mosquitoes, fruit flies, and
moths. Zevo was also evaluated by the Good Housekeeping Institute and
earned the Good Housekeeping Seal in May 2017.
“Zevo™ is a completely new way to deal with the problem of flying
insects in your home,” said Lauren Thaman, P&G Ventures Communications.
“We know many people, especially parents and pet owners, face a dilemma
when purchasing a product to combat flying insects – they feel they need
to choose between using one with chemical insecticides to eradicate them
or do nothing and live with insects in their home. Zevo™ helps eliminate
these trade-offs. It’s effective at attracting and trapping flying
insects in the home, 100% chemical insecticide free, easy to use and you
never have to touch a dead insect.”
HOW ZEVO™ WORKS
Zevo is a plug-in flying insect trap with replaceable trap cartridges.
Each cartridge continuously lures flying insects, including flies,
mosquitos, moths and fruit flies, up to 45 days or until it is full.
Zevo smartly simulates insects’ natural biological instincts to entice
flying insects with a dual-spectrum light technology. The blue and UV
light mimics navigational cues to harness nature’s most primal powers of
attraction and then traps flying insects with a powerful adhesive
backing into the cartridge. Once full, simply throw the cartridge in the
trash without ever touching the dead insects. Zevo is 100% chemical
insecticide free so you can confidentially use it any room and any place
in your home, including entryways where you come and go, close to trash
cans full of items flying insects love, in the kitchen even near food,
bathrooms by toothbrushes, and even screened porches or playrooms full
of kids and pets.
AVAILABILITY
Zevo™ retails for $12.99 for the starter kit, which contains one device
and two refills, and can be purchased on Zevoinsect.com. For more
