To put these tools and strategies together in the most effective way, Syngenta developed the SecureChoice℠ Cockroach Assurance Program.

It provides a detailed framework to control cockroach populations through inspection, monitoring, chemical solutions and more. These treatment plans can be adapted into weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly services as needed. 

Additionally, you must follow the application rates per account and rotate between treatment cycles every three months or 90 days.
