Allan Dufoe, North America Sales Manager — Pest
1. Why is a mosquito control program a valuable add-on service for residential clients?

As homeowners look to spend more time at home enjoying time outdoors, mosquitoes are an obvious nuisance. In addition, mosquito vector pathogens can cause diseases affecting both people and pets. Adding a mosquito program is also a profitable reoccurring revenue stream.

2. Why is Scion Insecticide the innovative solution in a premium mosquito control program?

Scion® Insecticide with UVX Technology is engineered to control the toughest pests; it maintains a continuous residual even when faced with harsh surfaces, high temperatures and intense sunlight. These features make Scion® ideal to extend service intervals, helping to save labor and dramatically reduce the number of callbacks, all improving the bottom line.

3. How does Scion’s 75-day Assurance Program work?

FMC guarantees 75 days of no retreatments after a mosquito service using Scion® Insecticide with UVX™ technology is done within the program period according to the assurance guidelines. If a retreatment is required during the 75-day period, FMC will provide the amount of Scion® insecticide needed for a reapplication. No additional IGR is needed as part of the Assurance Program, just Scion®. PMPs can learn more by signing up for the FMC True Champions program at fmctruechampions.com.

4. What’s the FMC True Champions program all about?

In addition to our Solution Assurances, FMC True Champions is built upon three pillars. FMC’s dedicated industry commitment includes our longstanding sponsorship of NPMA’s Legislative Days, as well as the PestVets program. Business Building Solutions offer free CEUs, with FMC’s 1st Friday Webinar Series and Scion product assurance programs including perimeter, mosquito and ticks.

Lastly, FMC True Champions offers PMPs year-round product rewards and rebates on select FMC products, such as Scion® Insecticide with UVX Technology, with our Dynamic Rewards Program.

5. How can Scion’s versatility benefit a pest control business?
In addition to mosquitoes, Scion is an excellent choice for perimeter applications targeting ants, ticks, spiders, fleas and even scorpions. Its formulation is engineered to provide at least 90 days of true performance — even in conditions that degrade other products.
