FMC Professional Solutions

FMC’s granular surface-feeding pest control product, Talstar EZ Granular Insecticide, will be available by the end of 2010 with Verge granular technology, developed by Oil-Dri Corporation of America. Talstar EZ with Verge is designed to yield a more uniform distribution of the granules during application, among other benefits. A unique, clay-based granule, Verge breaks down quickly to release the active ingredient and disappear into the landscape, FMC says. Furthermore, the company says, the new formulation is better for the applicator since it reduces exposure during application. FMC’s Talstar EZ is designed to provide long-lasting control of problematic surface-feeding pests such as ants, chinch bugs, fleas, and ticks. According to FMC, the rapidly disintegrating Verge granules fall apart into thousands of micro-particles in less than a minute after being watered-in.

Talstar EZ with Verge is labeled for use on lawns, in landscapes and in perimeters around residential, institutional, public, commercial and industrial buildings, parks, recreational areas and athletic fields. It can be used as a perimeter, broadcast or mound treatment. The product will be sold in a 25-lb. bag.
