DuPont to Give Away Arilon
15 Sep, 2009 By: Pest management staff PMP Buzz Online eNewsletterWILMINGTON, Del. — DuPont will be giving out free samples of its new DuPont Arilon insecticide at NPMA’s PestWorld 2009, booth No. 201. Arilon offers high-performance insect control, versatility of application uses and an improved environmental profile.
DuPont is packaging the Arilon water dispersible granules in biodegradable and compostable Terrene packs. These packets contain a pre-measured amount of product to reduce handling labor and exposure, minimize waste and eliminate the need to triple-rinse prior to disposal.
Arilon combines performance with versatility in one, easy-to-use formulation. Whether insect pest invasions require interior or exterior treatments, residential or commercial usage, or even crack and crevice applications in food handling establishments, Arilon is non-repellent chemistry that offers exceptional insect pest control across all of these use patterns.
The active ingredient in Arilon has been proven effective, both short term and long, on many common surfaces including concrete, stainless steel, weathered wood, painted surfaces, ceramic tile, brick and vinyl siding. While similar competing products may break down faster in sunlight and other environmental conditions or lose performance on porous surfaces, Arilon™ applied to a multitude of outdoor surfaces is expected to have excellent residual control over extended periods of time.
The chemistry of Arilon and its novel packaging make it an environmentally smart choice for many PMPs. Indoxacarb, the active ingredient in Arilon, was classified as a Reduced Risk compound by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for insect pest control on approved crops and for non-crop use to control imported fire ants. The active ingredient is delivered to insect pests through ingestion or absorption where it then converts to a MetaActive form using the insect’s own enzymes, effectively differentiating between target insect pests and non-target organisms, like mammals.
