Bayer Announces Total Lasting Control Summer Promotion

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. — Bayer Environmental Science has announced its Total Lasting Control (TLC) summer promotion. PMPs can receive instant savings on Premise, Tempo SC Ultra, Suspend SC and Maxforce products. The promotion, part of the company’s ‘Backed By Bayer’ promise, runs through July 31, 2006.

Product                                         Instant Savings per Case
Suspend SC (16x1pt) Case                                         $50
Tempo SC Ultra (2x6x240mL) Case                           $50
Premise 2F Insecticide (2x6x240mL) Case                  $60
Maxforce Fine Granular Insect Bait (4x6lb) Case         $30
Maxforce FC Select (5x4-30gm reservoir) Case          $17

There is no minimum purchase requirement and no limit to the amount of savings, so pest management companies of all sizes can take advantage of this promotion.

“This summer’s TLC promotion gives PMPs the chance to save money on products that complement each other, offering powerful pest control solutions,” says Gordon Morrison, Maxforce Market Manager for Bayer Environmental Science. “For example, PMPs can use Premise – now approved for ant control – to reduce the production of honeydew on landscape plants, which attracts ants. A non-repellent such as Premise is highly effective when used in conjunction with Maxforce ant baits, which can be used to control ant colonies in inaccessible places. Both products have a delayed action kill so PMPs are getting a double Domino Effect.”

The EPA has recently approved Premise for perimeter ant control. The new ant label gives PMPs the flexibility to apply a proven, non-repellent insecticide in and around structures where ants are seeking food and harborage.

Suspend SC insecticide with Deltamethrin is a versatile broad-spectrum pyrethroid that controls more than 80 pests. Suspend insecticide is labeled for a variety of outdoor and indoor uses, including direct application on upholstery, mattresses and box springs for the control of bed bugs.

Tempo SC Ultra uses Beta-Crystals to provide fast control of more than 90 indoor and outdoor pests, as well as a long residual on porous surfaces. In order to provide immediate efficacy for a range of insects, Tempo SC Ultra has been specifically designed to provide an optimum mixture of crystal sizes. The larger crystals remain on top of surfaces where larger insects travel, while the smaller particles fit into the cracks and crevices where smaller insects find harborage.

Maxforce Fine Granular Insect Bait provides year-round control of both indoor and outdoor pests. Indoors, Maxforce Granular Insect Bait can be applied to cracks, crevices and other inaccessible areas such as wall voids, unfinished attics and crawl spaces within residential and non-residential structures; outdoors, applications can include broadcast, perimeter and crack and crevice treatment.

Maxforce FC Select Roach Killer Bait gel can be used for control of aberrant feeding cockroaches, as well as normal, non-bait-averse strains.
