Archer insect growth regulator from Syngenta now has an enhanced label, enabling its approved use in food-handling establishments. This expanded use provides pest management professionals with an additional way to use Archer.

“When pests find their way into locations containing food sources, they can multiply quickly,” said Pat Willenbrock, head of marketing for Professional Pest Management (PPM) for Syngenta in North America. “With the enhanced food-handling label for Archer, PMPs can now expect to see the same great population-control results from the product in more situations where food is handled.” 

Archer interrupts the development of juvenile stages of targeted insects such as ants, cockroaches, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, litter beetles and flying insects to prevent them from becoming egg-laying adults. In addition to food and nonfood storage and preparation establishments, it also can be used indoors, around buildings, in moist breeding areas such as mulch or bedding and in standing waters found in gutters, drains and pools.
