NEW WEAPON IN EUROPEAN COCKROACH WAR
Avert Gel-Plus cockroach baits are a range of performance-proven cockroach baits from world-leading professional pesticide manufacturer, Sorex to help European pest controllers meet their increasing cockroach control challenges.
Avert gel-plus cockroach baits bring a new active and unique non-gel option to the European market. Based on abamectin, they have proved their value in many years of intensive use across North America.
In an entirely different class of actives to all existing European products, Avert Gel is designed for rotating with currently available gels in insecticide resistance management strategies. Its advanced formulation is highly attractive to all cockroach stages, has excellent adhesive properties, and maintains its effectiveness over an extended life.
Complementing the new gel is a unique dry flowable formulation, Avert DF. This allows an equally palatable and long-lasting bait to be inserted deep into cracks and crevices, targeting cockroaches where they breed and live. As well as combating any problems of gel aversion, this results in far more rapid control than gel baits alone.
"We have introduced Avert to help professional pest controllers achieve the best immediate and sustained control of cockroaches by taking the greatest advantage of their natural behaviour," explained Sorex insect control manager, James Whittaker.
Sorex has produced two technical guides for professionals keen to improve cockroach control. The Think Roach Guide provides sound advice on behaviour-led control and is available either on this website,
click here, or in printed form. The CD-based Avert User Guide complements this with practical guidance on making the best use of the gel and dry flowable baits. Both guides are available to PCOs free of charge from Sorex Technical Services on 0151 420 7161.
