New packaging for Talon® Ultrablok rodenticide gives PMPs enhanced protection for day-to-day services

  • Talon Ultrablok is now available in a 16-lb. package configuration containing two 8-lb. pails
  • Enhancements based on advances in food science make Talon Ultrablok the most attractive brodifacoum block on the market 
  • The new pails are registered for use in New York
GREENSBORO, N.C., USA – To meet the rodent control needs of Pest Management Professionals (PMPs), Syngenta Professional Pest Management (PPM) now offers the attractive formulation of Talon® Ultrablok rodenticide in a 16-lb. case containing two 8-lb. pails.
 
Talon Ultrablok is the most recent rodenticide innovation from Syngenta PPM. Featuring a novel, attractive formulation, it provides comprehensive resistance management and rodent control to satisfy both PMPs and their customers.
 
“The Talon Ultrablok formulation features the latest in food science technology,” says ElRay Roper, senior technical representative, Professional Pest Management, for Syngenta in North America. “With the release of the convenient 8-lb. pail configuration for Talon Ultrablok, PMPs can now choose from two package options – the new 8-lb. pail configuration or our 8-lb. bag configuration — to meet their specific business needs.”
 
Talon Ultrablok contains brodifacoum, as well as unique ingredients that have been shown to improve acceptance of the bait, making Talon Ultrablok the most attractive brodifacoum block on the market. Rats and mice only need to eat a small amount of the bait to receive a lethal dose of the active ingredient, which helps control rodents in a single feeding, including warfarin-resistant rodents.
 
PMPs can receive yearlong rebates on purchases of the new Talon Ultrablok pails with the PestPartners™ 365 Program. For more information about the program, visit www.PestPartners365.com. Additionally, the new Talon Ultrablok pail option is registered in the state of New York, giving PMPs in New York an added tool to control even the toughest rodent populations.
 
Talon Ultrablok has joined existing Syngenta PPM rodenticide solutions, including Talon®-G and Weatherblok® XT rodenticides, to create an enhanced rodent-control portfolio. With all three products now available in pail form, PMPs can choose from a wider selection of control methods for their businesses.
 
“Customers expect successful rodent control on their properties, which means PMPs need the right type of packaging for their products,” says Gregg Wisniewski, market manager, Professional Pest Management, for Syngenta in North America. “By offering the convenience of Talon Ultrablok in two 8-lb. pails, it can provide the quick success that pleases both the PMP and the customer.”
