Best Practices for Using Dry Flowable Bait

It’s common for pests to hide deep within hard-to-reach spaces that may not be visible, making it challenging for pest management professionals (PMPs) to make applications that last. Finding a long-lasting and convenient solution can help keep residential and commercial areas free from harmful pests and keep PMPs serving other customers instead of making costly retreatments.

A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY

Given its flexible label and packaging, there are many ways to apply Advion® MicroFlow insect bait from Syngenta, including anywhere a traditional dust formulation is used. PMPs can make applications as appropriate for their accounts, including baiting on a large scale. For application convenience, Advion MicroFlow can be applied with an Exacticide power duster, as well as most hand-held bulb dusters. It comes in an 8-ounce jar that can thread directly onto an Exacticide and includes measuring scoops that are sized to the opening of popular bulb and bellows dusters.

“Easy use, great impact and effect with the active ingredient and flexible labeling make Advion MicroFlow a good choice for severe infestations and for routine services,” said Cory Goeltzenleuchter, director of technical services and operations support at McCall Service, Inc., in Jacksonville, Fla. “Not needing specialized application equipment is a big plus.”

Advion MicroFlow is part of the trusted Advion brand portfolio, so it features the unique MetaActive™ effect, which activates the active ingredient, indoxacarb, once ingested by target pests, leaving non-target organisms largely unaffected. Additionally, its varying particle sizes easily adhere to pests’ exoskeletons and can be carried back to nests while foraging, resulting in an increased secondary transfer effect during grooming.

“It works,” said Wally Melendez, owner at A&R Pest Solutions in Vancouver, Wash. “Going into an account with a duster instead of a compressed sprayer just feels better for me and my customers. The areas [Advion MicroFlow] gets into is amazing. Application with [Advion MicroFlow] allows for so much more control in areas liquids and gel won’t reach.”

GET GUARANTEED COCKROACH CONTROL WITH SECURECHOICE

Advion MicroFlow complements the SecureChoiceSM Cockroach Assurance Program to provide PMPs with guaranteed cockroach control. By following the program’s protocols, PMPs can expect to achieve at least a 90% reduction in cockroach populations within the first four customer visits during a 60-day period. If adequate reduction is not achieved, Syngenta will provide the appropriate quantity of products to cover the retreatment.
