ORLANDO, Fla., February 7, 2007--Syngenta Professional Products will showcase its portfolio of termite control and pest management products at the International Builders Show (IBS) in booth #S11431, located in the South Hall. This year Syngenta will once again offer a dream giveaway - by visiting the booth and having their badges scanned, attendees are automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for two to the NCAA Final Four in Atlanta in 2007.
IMPASSE Termite Blocker
"Builders are the first line of defense in protecting homes against termite damage and pest invasion," said Mike Tweedy, marketing manager for the company's termite control products. "At Syngenta, we continue to develop our portfolio of pre- and post-construction termite and pest control methods to help ensure builders have access to all the necessary tools to create and maintain a healthy, pest-free environment."
IMPASSE Termite Products
Since termites only need a fraction of an inch to access a house, they often use gaps along pipes in the slab foundation as highways into a home. The exclusive IMPASSE Termite Blocker by Syngenta is a highly effective, long-term, pre-construction solution that stops termites at some of the most common entry points into the home. Featured in the NexGen Demonstration Home at IBS, IMPASSE Termite Blocker protects utility penetrations and bath trap areas from termite invasion. It is the only product that specifically targets these vulnerable points, sealing long-term protection right into the foundation.
Also included in the Syngenta portfolio of pre-construction builder products is Demon® MAX termiticide which provides strong efficacy and meets many builders' pre-treat soil requirements. Demon MAX can be utilized for above-ground, perimeter termite treatments, as well as to control spiders, cockroaches and other pests. Additionally, ProBuild® TC, a soil-applied, pre-construction termiticide for the value-driven homebuilder is a highly effective alternative to Dursban and chlorypyrifos, which has not been registered for use since December 31, 2005. ProBuild meets pre-construction termite requirements of mortgage lenders and state regulators.
Syngenta General Pest Product Solutions
This year at IBS, Syngenta will feature brands from its general pest management line to demonstrate actions builders can take to protect their investment and help ensure pests don't occupy newly constructed homes before homeowners do. Syngenta boasts one of the most complete product portfolios available with professional, quality products to control spiders, ants, rodents, flies and yellow jackets, among other nuisance pests.
"When structures are in the building process or on the lot waiting to be purchased, pests can move in so homeowners have uninvited guests before ever stepping foot into their home," said Tweedy. "By working with a pest management professional to treat newly constructed homes and existing inventory, builders meet customer expectations of a clean, healthy new home."
Products in Syngenta's portfolio of professional products are installed or applied by authorized and certified pest management professionals during pre- and post-construction phase, with little interruption to the construction process.
