DeltaGard G delivers the strength of DeltaGard brand deltamethrin in a water-dispersible carrier for effective, residual control of a wide variety of crawling pests, including ants, spiders, ticks and cockroaches. The chemistry of deltamethrin allows PMPs to deliver maximum control at a lower application rate than the leading competition. It also offers easy handling because DeltaGard G’s small, dense particles are easy to spread with a hand-held or walk behind spreader and have virtually no dust or odor. DeltaGard G can be applied as a broadcast treatment, perimeter treatment, spot treatment and on interior plantscapes. Maxforce Granular Insect Bait offers control any time of the year of a wide variety of pests including ants, cockroaches, crickets and silverfish. The secret bait matrix contains Simply Irresistible™ food ingredients to accommodate insects’ changing nutritional needs, plus the active ingredient hydramethylnon. Maxforce Granular Insect Bait is available in fine and regular particle sizes. Fine particle size is preferred by small ant species. DeltaDust is 100 percent waterproof, meaning it won’t clump or absorb moisture in wet areas when applied for a broad spectrum of pests including spiders, ants, field crickets and cockroaches. DeltaDust delivers quick knockdown and a residual of up to eight months. The dust is formulated for indoor and outdoor use and can also be used in food-handling environments of commercial establishments. Tempo 1% Dust provides fast knockdown with long residual for control of bees, wasps, ants, cockroaches and other crawling pests. The dust is a convenient addition to any integrated pest management (IPM) program because it is lightweight and easy to carry and requires no mixing.
