BASF Launches Ridesco WG Insecticide in January 2025

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.  – BASF Pest Control Solutions is preparing for the launch of Ridesco WG Insecticide, and will introduce the solution to pest control professionals (PMPs) and distributors during PestWorld, being held in Denver, Colo., Oct. 21 - 25.

Combining two active ingredients (AIs), alpha-cypermethrin and dinotefuran, Ridesco WG Insecticide is tough on difficult-to-control pests such as spiders, occasional invaders, large cockroaches and more. The quick release formulation means the AIs hit pests immediately, resulting in a swift reduction of pest populations.

Ridesco WG Insecticide has a label that allows for use outdoors, on and off structure, and indoors, including food handling areas, with one rate.

“We consider Ridesco WG Insecticide to be our rapid response heavy hitter,” said Melissa Chu, Pest Control Solutions Marketing Manager for BASF Agricultural Solutions. “It’s a standout solution for challenging cleanouts, is ideal for first-time services and can also be used before big events to ensure pests don’t crash the party. With these benefits and the fact that it is an excellent tool for the prevention of insecticide resistance, Ridesco WG Insecticide can round out a successful start-to-finish Integrated Pest Management Program for PMPs.”

Ridesco WG Insecticide will be available for purchase from authorized BASF distributors in January 2025. Learn more by visiting the BASF booth at PestWorld.
