As a senior technician at Nationwide Pest Control in Sydney, John Esquillo<\/strong> is responsible for training the other members of the Nationwide team and takes the lead in trying out new products they are thinking of using.<\/p>\n

Few new releases have made such a big first impression on Mr Esquillo as Seclira WSG<\/a>, the new multipurpose insecticide from BASF. \u201cIt\u2019s very different to the other chemicals out there,\u201d said Mr Esquillo. \u201cI reckon it will be one new product that becomes a primary product we\u2019re using constantly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The experienced technician noticed an obvious difference from the first time he applied the new formulation. \u201cIt just looks like water. Other products can leave a stain, but when you use Seclira, there\u2019s nothing,\u201d he said. That \u2018invisibility\u2019 is a key benefit of Seclira, which is the first non-staining, odourless, broad-spectrum, general insect control product for indoor and outdoor use.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no residue or smell, which is really good \u2013 especially for clients,\u201d he added. Mr Esquillo said he and the rest of the team like to reassure people about the use of chemicals in offices and homes by explaining exactly how the products work. While that approach is mostly very effective, some people do still \u2018freak out\u2019. Mr Esquillo believes that switching to an alternative as hard to detect as Seclira will give customers even more confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hold a lot of our clients for a long time. We want them to be happy with our treatments and they seem to like this product compared to what we would normally use instead,\u201d he said. Mr Esquillo will be recommending that Nationwide Pest Control begins using Seclira as a standard treatment. \u201cAt the moment it’s a bit pricey, but I\u2019m keen to get it out there,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m happy to use it a lot more compared to other products.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nationwide Pest Control team covers a large area \u2013 taking in Wollongong, the Blue Mountains, and the Central Coast as well as metropolitan Sydney \u2013 and the full range of pest control issues. Mr Esquillo sees Seclira\u2019s versatility as a huge advantage. \u201cInstead of carrying multiple products for most calls, we could just carry that one, which actually saves on cost. And the way I\u2019ve been applying it, I haven\u2019t needed anything else, no gels or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n

While some situations will still need more specialised treatments, Seclira will cover a lot of bases. Mr Esquillo has already seen plenty of proof of its versatility. \u201cI\u2019ve tested it in a lot of areas \u2013 including cafes and offices \u2013 where there were German cockroaches and it’s worked really well. I\u2019ve gone back a few weeks later and there were no cockroaches\u2026 and no marks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been great on ants as well. I even used it for mosquitoes on my own back wall and it’s stayed clear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Esquillo even thinks Seclira might help Nationwide Pest Control generate a bit of extra income. He says its super solubility reduces downtime and creates the potential to complete more jobs each day. Whether that happens or not, he definitely appreciates not having to clean the spray tank every two or three days, as Seclira mixes into a clear liquid that stays in suspension longer than many older pesticides.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith other products, you get residue sitting on the bottom, staining the tank. There are no issues with Seclira. I haven\u2019t cleaned my tank for two or three weeks,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Mr Esquillo said he will be keen to see how quickly other companies start switching to Seclira. \u201cI do recommend other pest managers try it,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don\u2019t see many products that control a whole lot of pests. It would be great for other people to be using it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within his own company, Mr Esquillo sees Seclira as a great fit. \u201cWe want the best of the best. That\u2019s what we want to be known for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
