John,
Don't you think that Fiberlock's IAQ 2000 (concentrate) or the IAQ 2500 (RTU) would be closer crossover? In my mind, Shockwave is more like Microban QGC (a cleaner/disinfectant).

OK, so you need the Pyrethrin (for bugs)?
Try M-7 for Fleas. But remember, if you are doing this as a pay-for-service, then you probably need an pesticide applicators/exterminators license.

It depends on your State's regulations regarding exterminators.
In California, you don't want to be doing pest control for profit, while being unlicensed.

This product is designed to be added to your carpet cleaning solution. However, it's only approved application is for a portable. I don't think you could be concentrated enough through a chem jug/flowmeter unit.
We used to sell this product, until we heard some of our customers were penalized. It is interesting that there is nothing illegal about selling this product to an unlicensed person, nor buying it, or even using it without a license (for personal/consumer use). Where you cross the line is when you actually perform the extermination service as a business. The state rightfully reasons that someone who is doing it for hire must be trained and held responsible for both efficacy and safety.

Shockwave has a better Kill efficayhttp://www.fiberlock.com/products/lit/ShockwaveEfficacy6-09.pdf which is what I assumed he was using x-580 for. Again you prove you are The Big Brain

Is Steri-fab legal in Cali?
Shawn Forsythe
RIP
Much to my initial amazement, Steri-Fab is a completely legal California EPA registered disinfectant.
The label is amazingly simple for a registered product of its type. Usually there is a lot more technical info and detailed instruction on a registered product.

I'd like to ask what the situation is that has you considering Microban X-580? We have several products in the microban which might be better suited for the application but I need to better understand your needs.

We've used that since the early 90's. Great stuff. My pops used to get it for $35 a 5gallon pail when he was a distributor. Now, the distributor who carries it wants over $200 a 5gallon pail. Somethings a bit fishy...
We use it sparingly.

You should be able to find the X-580 for ~ $38 with prepaid freight.
The reason we like that product is the:
1. EPA Registation for both spray & ULV fog application.
2. It uses a naturally derived botanical insecticidal ingredient (Pyrethrum).
3. Texas has approved this product for bed bugs in textiles.
4. Phenol disinfectant active is effective on a wide variety of organisms.
5. Protects stored fabrics against textile-destroying insects for up to six months.
