ADAPCO Announces Availability of GeoFlow™ Technology; Proprietary Features Address Cost and Time Issues Associated with Driver Error

Business Wire, May 16, 2006

SANFORD, Fla. -- ADAPCO Inc., the world's largest distributor of mosquito control products and application equipment, announces the availability of GeoFlow(TM), a ground-breaking, multi-purpose technology that delivers an unprecedented level of mosquito control efficiency and cost effectiveness. GeoFlow is the only mosquito control system that combines GPS-based variable mosquito application flow control, real-time/post-event location and activity tracking, and software-driven routing.

According to ADAPCO Marketing and Business Development Manager Bill German, GeoFlow's WAAS GPS-based variable flow control technology enables it to produce liquid flow rates proportionate to travel speed, based on the application rates of various compounds. "The technology is significantly more accurate than the radar- and sonar-based technologies of competing products," said German.

ADAPCO's proprietary GeoTracker(TM) and GeoTracker(TM) RT are the software technologies inside GeoFlow. They enable a manager to upload route maps to the GeoFlow hardware to ensure complete coverage of intended treatment areas and prevent repetitive treatments along the same routes. Additionally, on/off control of GeoFlow's spray function is automated en route to account for user-defined buffers indicating "chemically sensitive" residents and "no spray" zones.

"GeoFlow's routing feature addresses cost and time issues associated with driver error - forgetting to turn off sprayer or making wrong turns," explained German. "GeoFlow features an easy-to-follow moving map augmented by an external directional indicator on a 6.5-inch TFT color touch screen system that displays speed, flow rate and direction of upcoming turn."

Headquartered in Sanford, Florida, ADAPCO, Inc. is the world's largest distributor of mosquito control insecticides, application equipment and odor control products to the mosquito control, forestry, agriculture and wastewater markets. In addition to its comprehensive range of products from 24 diverse manufacturers, ADAPCO also develops and produces advanced aerial and ground-based technologies and equipment that continue to establish new standards and trends for the industries in which they are used. Those technologies include Wingman GX, GeoFlow(TM) and Accuflow(TM). ADAPCO's Vector Control Services division provides comprehensive aerial and ground-based mosquito control and pesticide application service that is highly regarded for its IPM programs, national crisis response team and quality assurance programs.
