FMC

FMC announces the launch of Ds Flea and Crawling Insect Spray aerosol with Dual-Spray Action (DSA) for broadcast, surface, crack and crevice, and spot control of fleas and other crawling insects. Ds features a fully integrated actuating system that includes the straw, which provides PMPs with enhanced ease of use and accuracy, the firm says.
“It’s as easy as flipping the straw up for a targeted spot or crack and crevice application, and flipping the straw down for surface and broadcast treatments that require a wider spray pattern,” said Steven Mora, insecticide product manager. “With Ds’ crawling insect label and DSA technology, PMPs only need to carry one product — a big convenience and time saver.”
Ds breaks the life cycles of fleas and cockroaches, controlling fleas for seven months and cockroaches for four months. Ds also is proven to kill ants, cockroaches, spiders, ticks, carpet beetles and other listed pests, the firm says.
With Ds’ innovative packaging, no over cap is needed, FMC reports. There is a recessed spray button, a clip to hold the straw in place and a locking mechanism to prevent accidental sprays. With Ds, PMPs do not need to carry extra straws and caps, or actually fit the straw in the actuator. Ds comes in a 17-fluid ounce can (12 to a case), which treats up to 1,700 square feet and is labeled for indoor applications in residential, commercial, industrial and institutional environments. Ds will be available this month.
