Powered by PLINAZOLIN technology, Vanecto Cockroach features the first novel mode of action (IRAC Group 30) introduced to the pest control industry in two decades. This solution helps pest management professionals (PMPs) control a broad spectrum of cockroaches, including German, brown-banded, American and more. Key product benefits include:  

  • Registered with reduced-risk status from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: No signal word on the label and can be used without personal protective equipment 
  • Controls tough populations with known or suspected resistance: An essential rotation partner with other Syngenta cockroach gel baits
  • Attractive bait matrix:  Enhances palatability and consumption for thorough, sustained population control 
  • Nonrepellent formulation with ingestion activity:  Enables secondary and tertiary transfer to reach less mobile cockroaches (including nymphs) more effectively than other gel baits   

As part of the SecureChoice Cockroach Assurance Program, Vanecto Cockroach is recommended alongside other powerful Syngenta solutions for proven control. By following the program’s treatment protocols, cockroach infestations will be reduced by at least 90 percent during the first four visits over a 60-day period, the company says.
