Syngenta
Syngenta announced that its Vanecto Cockroach gel bait has received federal registration from the Environmental Protection Agency. State registrations are in progress, and the company said additional product and availability details will be shared in early 2026 ahead of the pest control industry’s peak season.
Vanecto Cockroach is powered by PLINAZOLIN technology, which Syngenta said is the first new active ingredient for cockroach control in two decades and features a new mode of action, IRAC Group 30. The product is labeled to control multiple cockroach species, including German, brown-banded and American.
Syngenta said the product can be used in residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural settings, including food-handling areas, without required personal protective equipment. The company also said the active ingredient targets the cockroach nervous system at the GABA receptor and is effective against populations resistant to other chemistries.

Wöhler
Wöhler has introduced the VE Probe Adapter, which the company says allows its VIS HD inspection system to be used with multiple types of inspection probes. The adapter enables technicians to use a single system for both pipe inspections and inspections of narrow cavities, eliminating the need to carry separate devices such as pipe cameras and borescopes.
The company said the adapter allows users to switch between probes for large and small diameters without changing base equipment, a change intended to reduce setup time and equipment load. Wöhler said the adapter expands the functionality of the VIS 700 and VIS 750 systems, removing the need for a separate borescope. The company added that the adapter is designed to reduce the amount of equipment technicians carry and to improve workflow efficiency.

Atticus
Atticus has released Tirade CS with EnduraCap Technology, a product the company says is designed to provide broad-spectrum pest control indoors and outdoors for up to 90 days.
According to Atticus, EnduraCap Technology encapsulates the active ingredient, cyfluthrin, allowing for controlled release and targeting more than 50 pests, including cockroaches, mosquitoes and termites. The company says the product offers extended residual activity and is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use in residential, recreational and commercial settings, including food-handling areas.
Atticus describes Tirade CS as compatible with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs and suitable for spray or foam applications. The launch reflects Atticus’ commitment to providing distributors and pest control professionals with branded-generic pesticide options and reliable service, the manufacturer said.
Tirade CS with EnduraCap Technology is part of Atticus’ MY26 product line, which the company says includes 30 new brands for turf and landscaping and is available now.
