Control spotted lanternfly and 90+ other pests with the dual defense of Tandem

Multiple pests are no challenge for pest management professionals with help from Tandem® insecticide. Offering the strength and versatility of two active ingredients and two modes of action, Tandem can control more than 90 pests, including the invasive spotted lanternfly that’s been making headlines across the country.

Systemic action against spotted lanternfly

Source, Syngenta 2018

First identified in Pennsylvania in 2014, the spotted lanternfly has since spread across the Northeast and, most recently, into some Southern and Midwestern states. It excretes honeydew while feeding, damaging trees, plants and even outdoor furniture and cars.

Tandem has a registered FIFRA Section 2(ee) recommendation for controlling spotted lanternflies on plants and structures. Tandem features systemic action from the active ingredient thiamethoxam to help target these honeydew-producing insects, including ants that may be feeding on honeydew.

Immediate and long-lasting control

In addition to its systemic action, Tandem features a unique ZC formulation with iCAP technology™. This proprietary formulation technology contains different-sized microcaps that lead to a quick knockdown and controlled release of the active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin while protecting it from harsh environmental conditions. This non-repellent product can be applied indoors, outdoors and in food-handling establishments, as directed by the product label.
