DuPont™ Advion® Ant Gel Receives California Registration
Controls Broadest Spectrum of Ants -- Features Unparelleled Environmental Profile
WILMINGTON, Del., May 13, 2007 – DuPont Professional Products announced today that its DuPont™ Advion® ant gel is now registered for use in California. Proven to control more ant species than any other gel on the market, Advion® ant gel also features a superior environmental profile including an EPA-classified Reduced Risk active ingredient.
As the first new chemistry in the ant gel market in years, Advion® ant gel will provide California pest management professionals (PMPs) with consistent, broad-spectrum control of multiple ant species including all key sweet feeders, plus carpenter, argentine, pharaoh and many others. Powered by the MetaActive™ compound, Advion® ant gel leverages the ant’s own enzymes to provide total colony control, even when multiple queens are present. Its strong attractant formulation outperforms other baits in consumption tests. At the same time, the smooth gel stays thick when applied, even on the hottest days.
“Today’s announcement reflects our ongoing commitment to provide products that meet the stringent environmental requirements of California while delivering the performance results that our customers demand,” said Mike McDermott, global business leader for DuPont Professional Products.
DuPont has submitted for additional state approvals. More information about DuPont Professional Products is available at www.proproducts.dupont.com.
