October 2017. It is with great pleasure that Neudorff announces the launch of Scorpio Liquid Ant Bait in Canada.
Scorpio is a ready-to-use highly palatable liquid ant bait that contains an active ingredient new to the structural pest control market, spinosad. Spinosad is a metabolite of the soil-dwelling bacteria Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Spinosad-based insecticides are widely used to protect food and ornamental plants including those on organic farms, but have not been used to protect structures…until now!
Spinosad can be used indoors and outdoors. It kills a wide range of ant species including carpenter ants. Scorpio works quickly and will kill the queen and colony. Expect colony control in 1-2 weeks. Scorpio, therefore, offers pest management professionals a new way of controlling troublesome ants and manage resistance to existing products. This makes Scorpio an exciting and novel new tool for pest management professionals.
The Neudorff team is very excited to enter the structural pest control market and looks forward to working with Gardex and Univar to bring Scorpio Liquid Ant Bait to the structural pest control industry. Look to Neudorff as we move to expand the range of Scorpio products for pest management professionals.
