It is not everyday that a new active ingredient comes onto the UK market, especially one that has proved to be such an effective product in the US! DuPont’s new Advion cockroach gel, launched at PestTech, has been formulated using the exciting new active ingredient indoxacarb Indoxacarb is based on a new class of chemistry. When it goes onto Annex 1 of the Biocidal Products Directive on 1st January next year, it will be the first new public health insecticide to achieve this status.

Advion cockroach gel bait offers many benefits and as studies show this unique formulation quickly attracts cockroaches, out-competing existing food sources. This novel gel has a high-consumption bait matrix and a potent non-repellent active ingredient. Not only has Advion been proven to be a very effective cockroach gel but DuPont’s research and expertise has enabled them to use this new active ingredient within formulations that can be classed as reduced risk.

Indoxacarb is a member of the new oxadiazine class of insecticides that act by inhibiting sodium ion entry into nerve cells, resulting in the paralysis and death of target insect pests. When cockroaches are exposed to Advion, a three-step chain reaction is unleashed. It’s the third step that makes Advion so effective as this tertiary control kills 54 cockroaches for every one cockroach exposed – a number that best matches the average ratios of feeding males to the potential growth rate of the population.
Killgerm Chemicals are proud to be sole distributors of Advion Cockroach Gel in the UK.

There have been concerns from within the pest management industry that poor composting practice around domestic premises could potentially lead to an increased presence of rodents. Therefore, the National Pest Advisory Panel of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health has produced a 4 page document outlining the essential steps necessary for effective composting without attracting rodents.
Copies of the document are available to download at NPAP Publications.
