Control tough cockroach infestations with a proven solution

Secure Choice Cockroach Assurnace Logo

Although cockroaches can be a major public health threat, the proper treatment protocols can help pest management professionals (PMPs) confidently control cockroaches on their customers’ properties. PMPs can depend on the SecureChoice Cockroach Assurance Program from Syngenta, which is proven to effectively reduce tough cockroach populations.

Developed and field-tested by technical experts, the program combines an integrated pest management (IPM) approach and proven products that can help PMPs reduce cockroach infestations by at least 90% during the first four visits over a 60-day period. Each step of the treatment process is outlined in the SecureChoice Cockroach IPM Guide, which walks PMPs through the initial visit, follow-up visit and continued maintenance and prevention. The guide features product recommendations and best practices for various aspects of a treatment, including inspection and monitoring.

Graph 90 Day Rotation

The program also recommends a 90-day product rotation of the following products to help manage insecticide resistance and bait aversion:

PMPs can supplement the protocols of the SecureChoice Cockroach Assurance Program with Advion MicroFlow. As a dry flowable bait, its finely milled particles adhere to cockroaches’ exoskeletons and penetrate deep within cracks, crevices and voids to reach harborage areas inaccessible to gel baits or liquids. With a highly attractive bait matrix, a powerful secondary transfer effect and flexible packaging, Advion MicroFlow can complement gel bait applications on cleanout and maintenance accounts.

Give your customers peace of mind by making the SecureChoice Cockroach Assurance Program part of your service offerings. For more information, visit SyngentaPMP.com/Cockroach.
