LAS VEGAS - For 25 years, pest management professionals have trusted Talstar insecticide to provide reliable, long-lasting, and broad-spectrum control of insect pests in industrial, commercial, and food-handling areas as well as in lawns and ornamentals. To thank pest management professionals for their loyalty, FMC launched a year-long celebration of the Talstar insecticide brand that included an enormous sweepstakes, a promotion, new packaging, an updated brand logo, and the 1st Friday series of monthly training webinars. The celebration culminated in the announcement of the sweepstakes winners at PestWorld 2021.
"We couldn't have asked for a better place and time to announce the sweepstakes winners and celebrate Talstar insecticide than PestWorld. It was wonderful to be back in person with our customers and exciting to conclude this year-long celebration," stated Tom Wharton, FMC Pest Control National Sales Manager. "We could not be here without our customers. It is extraordinary to be celebrating the 25th year of Talstar insecticide with many of the same customers that adopted it in year one as well as new customers we've connected with along the way."
The grand prize winner of a Ford F-150 truck, Blake Foster of All-American Pest Control Inc. in Nashville, Tennessee, joined FMC at PestWorld for the announcement and added, "I never win anything! I'm thrilled to have won such a huge prize just for supporting my favorite pest control products."
