Syngenta

PMPs simply purchase any combination of products from the entire Syngenta Professional Pest Management (PPM) portfolio to generate at least $200 in base rebates during the qualification period (Oct. 1, 2018-April 30, 2019). This year the program features a new, longer qualification period to give PMPs more time to make their purchases.

Other program benefits include:

• Access to an online rebate calculator that creates sample orders to help estimate rebate savings.
• Higher base rebates on select products to help more companies qualify.

NPD Products

NPD Products says The Boss products provide unmatched flexibility for interior and exterior spraying needs. The sprayers have the ability to perform liquid and foam treatments. All of the products in The Boss family have been designed to work as an interior and exterior application system, the firm adds.

Key features of The Boss line include:

• Lithium Ion Battery — Provides a reliable power source lasting a full day or longer depending on the application. Shoulder, elbow and back fatigue or injuries will be reduced, NPD says, and there’s no hand pumping.
• Battery Storage — Located between the tank and the back of the operating technician, providing easy access. The electronics are placed in this area to keep them out of direct sunlight and rain, which will cause damage within months.
• Adjustable and Removable Shoulder Pads — Provide for a more comfortable fit for all body types and can be replaced easily from the wear and tear of everyday use.
• Slim Line Tank — The complete design is flat and as close to your back as possible.
• Translucent Tank — The non-pressurized tank provides a window to accurately measure chemical usage faster and easier.
• Telescoping Extension Wand — Technicians’ height varies dramatically. In addition, certain jobs require different tools; the telescoping extension wand allows technicians to access hard-to-reach areas.
• Soft Flow Technology — Innovative Boss technology provides for a one-applicator approach for interior and exterior applications. The low-flow setting reduces the output rate to as low as 13 ounces per minute and the high-flow rate delivers 60 ounces per minute, reaching a height of 25 feet.
• 11/16 Standard Thread — The Boss uses an industry standard 11/16-inch brass threads.
• Extension Hoses — The Boss spray applicators provide a removable trigger gun, using dripless brass hydraulic connectors for long life. This feature allows connection to the extension hoses and the ability to spray 100 feet away from the applicator. In addition, it allows the Boss applicator to be used for all exterior power spraying in lieu of a truck-mounted sprayer, providing enhanced treatment flexibility for pest management professionals.
• Plug and Play Repair Design — The Boss applicators have a modular design using components that snap together with nylon and push type fittings, so no wire cutting or soldering required.

EcoRaider

EcoRaider has introduced ER-3, its next generation mosquito and pest control product. EcoRaider ER-3 is a triple-action formula that knocks down adult mosquito populations, offering spatial repellency to keep mosquitoes from an area, and kills larvae to prevent future generations, the firm says. EcoRaider ER-3 is a green, 25b exempt product that does not require spray notifications. This formula is effective, yet green and non-toxic for children, pets and wildlife, according to the manufacturer.

EcoRaider ER-3 can be diluted down to 4-8 ounce per finished gallon and used for triple action mosquito treatment as well as other dilution ratios — for general pest control purposes. Pest management professionals can use EcoRaider ER-3 to treat for special events such as outdoor parties, weddings, festivals and more. As a triple-action formula, EcoRaider ER-3 reduces treatment times, delivers lasting spatial repellency, and provides cost-efficient results in one treatment, the manufacturer reports.
