Syngenta<\/a> has announced\u00a0the launch of Demand Duo insecticide<\/a>, an exciting\u00a0new product that offers a combination of two powerful actives, thiamethoxam and lambda-cyhalothrin, in a unique ZC formulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first ZC formulation in Australia, combining a suspension concentrate (SC) and capsule suspension (CS). Together, these two actives deliver powerful knockdown and excellent residual\u00a0control on a wide range of pests,\u201d explained James Hotten,<\/strong> business manager for Syngenta. \u201cThis is R&D formulation technology at its best.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the US, where the\u00a0formulation is sold under\u00a0the brand Tandem, it\u00a0is used by a number of\u00a0the country\u2019s leading pest control companies who rely on the product day after day to deliver both an immediate and long-lasting solution for their customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted with the early feedback from a number of local Australian pest managers who have been trialling the product over the last few months. The feedback from both pesties and their customers has been amazing. From cockroaches\u00a0to bed bugs, both the speed and quantity of kill has stopped everyone in their tracks. It\u2019s one thing to read trial results but nothing beats real-life feedback from delighted customers,\u201d Mr Hotten added.<\/p>\n

Demand Duo controls ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, flies, fleas, paper nest wasps, millipedes, spiders and silverfish.<\/p>\n

The longevity of Demand Duo is due to the unique ZC formulation that stays stable on surfaces; the milling of the SC component combined with the encapsulation makes it effective at maintaining control by ensuring a gradual diffusion over a long period of time.<\/p>\n

Mike De Luca<\/strong>, technical manager\u00a0for Syngenta, added, \u201cDemand Duo will provide pest managers with an advanced solution for controlling pests as an initial treatment on a difficult\u00a0site or as a regular maintenance treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really happy with the range of pests we have on the registered label and the fact that the product can be used indoors and outdoors. Additionally, Demand Duo has demonstrated in trials its power to provide knockdown and residual control at a convenient water rate of 5 L per 100m2<\/sup> whether on porous or non-porous surfaces. The unique ZC formulation also ensures low-odour and non-staining treatments.\u201d<\/p>\n

During trials,1<\/sup> German cockroaches were exposed to a treated surface for only ten minutes then removed and assessed for mortality. Demand Duo (40 mL\/5 L) showed 100% knockdown at 48 hours versus 86% for Temprid (50 mL\/5 L). At intervals of 30 days, 60 days and 90 days in the lab, new batches of cockroaches were exposed to the rubber mat surface. Demand Duo showed ongoing control over a three-month period, giving control between 94% and 100%.<\/p>\n

In a similar trial,2<\/sup> German cockroaches were exposed for one hour to surfaces (plywood and ceramic\u00a0tiles) treated by Seclira (30 g\/10 L) and Demand Duo (40 mL\/5 L) then removed and assessed for mortality. Demand Duo showed 100% control at 30 mins on the non-porous (ceramic tile) surface versus 83% for Seclira, as well as 100% control at 60 mins for the porous (plywood) surface versus 58% for Seclira.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis clearly confirmed the fast knockdown properties of Demand Duo and demonstrated that the ZC formulation will perform on a range of surfaces where other products may struggle,\u201d commented Mr De Luca.<\/p>\n

Packaged in a convenient, easy to handle chamber pack, Demand Duo is available from distributors from late April 2020.<\/p>\n
