Zoëcon Launches Eclipse Professional Insect Bait in Response to Rising Ant Problems

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (May 31, 2001)-With ant infestations quickly becoming more prominent than even those of the mighty cockroach, PCOs will certainly benefit from new products such as Eclipse™ Professional Insect Bait from Zoëcon.

Approved for both indoor and outdoor applications, Eclipse controls a variety of ant species including acrobat, crazy, Argentine, bigheaded, ghost, field, thief, harvester, pavement, Pharoah and odorous house ants. Eclipse also controls crickets, silverfish, firebrats and other insects.

Containing the active ingredient hydramethylnon in a bait attractant accepted by multiple ant species, Eclipse has an efficient, slow-acting effect that gives target species plenty of time to carry the bait back to the nest to destroy the queen and entire colony. Eclipse is compatible with liquid ant baits and can be used in total ant control programs.

For indoor applications, Eclipse can be used to treat residential areas such as crack and crevices, structural voids, behind electric switch plates, unfinished attics and crawlspaces. The product is also effective in non-food areas of institutional, warehousing and commercial establishments.

Eclipse is suitable for a variety of outdoor ant management situations including crack and crevice, perimeter and broadcast applications for residential lawns, landscaped areas, nurseries, ornamental and non-food bearing nursery stock, golf courses, sod farms and non-cropland areas.

Eclipse is available in containers sized for convenience including a refillable 10-ounce service container, 6-pound and 25-pound bulk containers that can be used for large jobs or to refill the service containers. For added convenience, the 10-ounce and 6-pound containers have shaker tops for easy product application.
