Altriset earns the trust of Triangle Pest Control with its fast-acting, lasting results.

Termites produce more than $5 billion in damages each year1, causing substantial inconveniences and distress for homeowners. Facing this realization, Triangle Pest Control in Raleigh, N.C. chose Altriset® termiticide from Syngenta Professional Pest Management (PPM) as an effective addition to its termite control services.

Innovative chemistry provides timely results

Altriset paralyzes affected termites’ mouthparts within hours of exposure. It is a delayed toxicant, so exposed termites that have quickly stopped feeding can still walk, groom and socialize in groups, spreading Altriset among termite colony members. This allows Altriset to control an entire termite colony in three months or less.

“Altriset provides immediate peace of mind to our customers because it puts a halt to the damage termites cause just hours after the initial treatment,” says Jesse Rehm, chief operating officer at Triangle Pest Control. “We felt 100 percent confident incorporating it into our termite control services.” 

Low impact is a proven benefit

Altriset is extremely effective on termites and has a low impact on non-target beneficial insects when used according to the label. This feature of the product was appealing to Triangle Pest Control, given the company’s interest in reduced risk products.*

“It is important that we take a minimally invasive, integrated approach to our pest control services to help preserve the community,” Rehm says. “Syngenta allows us to do that by providing a solution that stops the risk of damage without causing unnecessary side effects to the surroundings.”

Exceeds customer expectations with hassle-free control

Triangle Pest Control appreciates that Altriset satisfies customers and helps provide them with termite control that works the first time. 

“Altriset helps us provide a hassle-free service to our customers through fast-acting and long-term termite control,” Rehm explains. “We thank Syngenta for marketing a state-of-the-art formulation like Altriset.”
