Fight flies without the worry of resistance issues.

With flies experiencing increased resistance to many fly baits,1, 2 Pest Management Professionals are having a harder time controlling flies and satisfying their customers’ needs for a fly-free environment. However, with an innovative active ingredient and attractive bait matrix, Zyrox® fly granular bait from Syngenta Professional Pest Management (PPM) can help keep flies away from your customers.

A novel active ingredient with no resistance

The novel bait matrix in Zyrox is highly attractive to flies, even without a pheromone lure. The active ingredient, cyantraniliprole also has no documented resistance, making Zyrox an optimal rotational partner in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Insect Resistance Management (IRM) programs. 

With Zyrox, results can be seen in minutes. Coordinated movement of the fly stops almost immediately, followed by lethargy, paralysis and death of the fly. This helps ensure your customers are provided with quick relief and protection from nuisance flies.

Less weight but even greater strength

In addition to its innovative active ingredient, Zyrox also makes carrying, moving and storing fly bait easier. The lower bulk density of Zyrox means you have fewer pounds to lift and transport on your service vehicles. With a typical use rate of 3.2 ounces per 1,000 square feet, one pound of Zyrox bait can fill a bait station 19 times, versus competitive products that fill a bait station only 13 times or less. This means you get more coverage with fewer pounds of bait.

 


Flexible control for less customer complaints


Zyrox can be used indoors (when used in a bait station), outdoors and in farm pest control accounts. These include areas like:

  • Restaurants
  • Grocery stores
  • Hotels
  • Schools
  • Dairy, meat and poultry processing plants
  • Livestock housing structures

Provide your customers with quick relief and protection from nuisance flies with the scientifically researched and industry recommended Zyrox from Syngenta PPM. For more information about Zyrox, please contact your local Syngenta sales representative.
