“We’re pleased to introduce this new weapon in the fight against ants, our number one economic pest, just in time for spring,” says Eric Lentz, general insect control marketing manager for Bayer Environmental Science. “Temprid’s efficacy also results in reduced callbacks, which is an important benefit to pest management professionals (PMPs), especially in these tough economic times.”
Through the fusion of beta-cyfluthrin and imidacloprid, Temprid provides quick knockdown and long residual control of more than 50 pests, including ants, spiders, cockroaches and other key perimeter pests. In addition, Temprid offers broad spectrum control and is labeled for indoor and outdoor use, setting it apart from the other leading products as the most flexible perimeter product on the market. It can be used in and around buildings and structures, as well as on established landscape ornamentals around residential and commercial properties.
“Temprid not only provides highly effective ant control but also eliminates the ants’ primary food source, honeydew, which is produced by plant pests such as aphids, mealy bugs or scale insects,” says Lentz. “Targeting the ants’ food source really elevates the level of control you can offer your customers and also reduces the need for repeat visits to address stubborn infestations.”
Temprid received registration by the Environmental Protection Agency in December and is currently available in all states except Alaska, as well as New York and California, in which registration is pending approval. Available as a suspension concentrate, one gallon of the product contains 2 pounds of imidacloprid and 1 pound of beta-cyfluthrin.
