   Congratulations to Rick Anglian, Allied Member and Syngenta Rep, for accomplishing his ACE credentials last month.






Syngenta announces first new active ingredient in over 20 years.

Syngenta is excited to announce Vanecto™ Cockroach gel bait is now available for pest management professionals (PMPs) to prepare ahead of the peak pest control season. Featuring one of the industry’s most flexible labels — with Reduced-Risk status* from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and no personal protective equipment (PPE) required — Vanecto Cockroach is labeled to control a broad spectrum of cockroaches including German, American, brown-banded and more.  
 
Vanecto Cockroach is powered by PLINAZOLIN® technology and features the first novel mode of action (IRAC Group 30) introduced to the pest control industry in two decades. The active ingredient affects cockroaches’ nervous systems by binding at the GABA receptor and inhibiting the flow of chloride ions through the channel, leading to exhaustion and death. Fipronil is the only other pest management active ingredient that functions on the same receptor, but PLINAZOLIN technology has a unique newly discovered binding site on this receptor. That means cockroaches that are resistant or tolerant to fipronil can still be controlled with Vanecto Cockroach without any cross-resistance
