Bayer CropScience Announces the Registration of Temprid ReadySpray in New York

Easy-to-use solution combats bed bugs and other hard-to-kill indoor pests

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (PRWEB) December 19, 2013

Environmental Science, a division of Bayer CropScience LP, announces Temprid® ReadySpray, an easy-to-use insecticide, is now approved for use in New York, where bed bug invasions have become a frequent problem for property managers and travelers. The new solution received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) earlier this year and has been on the market since September.

Carrying the proven performance of Temprid SC, the product can be applied at all angles with its Bayer Ready-to-Spray technology, completely empties after its use and does not release a propellant or emit odors, making it a convenient solution for pest management professionals (PMPs). Temprid ReadySpray provides a long-lasting residual of up to six months for bed bug control and the effective control of a broad spectrum of hard-to-kill pests indoors, including spiders, ants, as well as occasional invaders. Its dual mode of action kills bed bugs resistant to pyrethroid insecticides, in addition to bed bug eggs.

“PMPs are looking for that flexible solution that makes the control of many hard-to-kill pests and occasional invaders simple, fast and effective, and Temprid ReadySpray is that all-in-one solution,” said Norman Barclift, marketing manager, General Insect Control. “At Bayer, we are continually committed to transforming the pest management experience and developing innovative ways to assist our customers in promoting healthy, pest-free environments.”

Application and Use
Temprid ReadySpray’s dual mode of action is designed for residential and commercial use indoors, as either a crack or crevice injection or spot treatment for more than 50 pests. This product will not damage paints, plastics, fabrics or other surfaces where water alone causes no damage, and does not require any pumping prior to application. Capable of reaching pests from a distance of 10 to 12 feet, the product provides an even and controlled spraying pattern and does not lose pressure as the can empties. No personal protective equipment is required during use. Temprid ReadySpray does not contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or other ozone depleting substances.
