Temprid ‘Save the Day’ contest finalist videos available for voting

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.—Five pest management professionals (PMPs) have been selected as finalists in the Temprid Save the Day Contest, in which PMPs shared stories of instances when they saved the day by tackling a pest problem for a family or business using Temprid SC Insecticide.

Environmental Science, a division of Bayer CropScience LP, is calling upon PMPs across the country to view all five videos online and vote for their favorite story. PMPs who vote will have a chance to receive a free case of Temprid. The winning professional will be awarded with an all-expense-paid trip for four, plus a choice of 10 free cases of Temprid SC or a professional marketing package to help promote his or her business.
