🧪 Getting the best results from an insecticide starts with good preparation.

Before treatment, remember to:
✔️ Identify the pest correctly
✔️ Remove as many harbourage areas as possible
✔️ Follow the product label carefully
✔️ Apply at the correct rate
✔️ Allow enough contact time for residual products to work

A little extra preparation can improve treatment effectiveness and help reduce repeat visits.

What's the one piece of advice you always give new technicians?

When John Jorsta was called to a heavily infested free-range egg production site, traditional anticoagulant rodenticides weren't delivering the results needed.

After switching to Selontra®, the impact was rapid:
✔️ Up to 200 rats estimated on site before treatment
✔️ Significant bait uptake within 24 hours
✔️ Over 50 rats recovered during peak activity
✔️ Complete control achieved in just 7 days

John's experience demonstrates how Selontra's unique stop-feed effect can provide fast, effective control, even in challenging agricultural environments where anticoagulants may struggle.

Have you noticed an increase in ant call outs this year?

Though a common sight in the garden, ants in the home can become a nuisance and a contimaination risk.

Fendona® 6 SC has an active ingredient, alpha-cypermethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid. It paralyses an ant's nervous system on contact. It is highly effective but should be used carefully around homes.
