DuPont Professional Products Introduces Two New Products: DuPont™ Advion^® Cockroach Bait Arenas and DuPont™ Advion^® Ant Bait Arenas

WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 26, 2006 - Pest Management Professionals (PMPs) now have two new Advion® brand bait products available for cockroach and ant control. DuPont™ Advion® cockroach bait arena and Advion® ant bait arena, powered by MetaActive™ compound, offer the speed and thorough insect control associated with the Advion® brand.

“The new DuPont™ Advion® cockroach and ant bait arenas offer exceptional control and flexible use to PMPs in situations when a containerized bait is the best option,” said Mike McDermott, global business leader, DuPont Professional Products. “PMPs who have tried our line of Advion® bait products are seeing the results Advion® delivers and understand why we promote it as an unbeatable choice for cockroach or ant control.”

The Advion® cockroach bait arena, designed with a one-size-fits-all approach, allows entry for both large and small cockroaches, and delivers broad spectrum cockroach control, including gel bait-averse Germans, for more thorough infestation elimination. The Advion® ant bait arenas are designed to target a complete spectrum of ants, including the tough-to-control Pharaoh ant, Argentine ant, odorous house ant, bigheaded ant and ghost ant.

“Advion® has the most attractive commercial bait matrix I’ve used in many years as a PMP,” said Ron Box, scientific director for Hulett Environmental Services and one of the PMPs who assisted in field testing of Advion®. The soft bait is highly attractive to a broad spectrum of cockroach species, and proven to impact more of the population through secondary and tertiary performance for exponential control and more thorough infestation elimination.

DuPont™ Advion® ant bait arenas are formulated to meet the ever-changing feeding habits of ants and effectively out-compete alternative food sources. The durable arenas also are designed for indoor and outdoor use. Powered by the MetaActive™ compound, Advion® ant bait arenas impact all life stages for total colony control for outstanding performance and customer satisfaction.

Advion® cockroach bait arenas and Advion® ant bait arenas now are available exclusively through DuPont authorized distributors Speckoz, phone (770) 663-8394, and Univar USA, phone (800) 888-4897.
