PROFESSIONAL ROACH CONTROL PRODUCTS

Starbar Cyanarox Fly Bait 4 pound

Cyanarox® Insecticidal Bait

With Cyanarox® Insecticidal Bait, you can control cockroaches with confidence. This ready-to-use granular bait is one of the top roach killers for mid-level and small-scale ag operations, controlling roaches on the ground in pig farms, milking parlors, broiler houses, caged layer houses, loafing sheds, feedlots and on pasture. Its unique active ingredient kills roaches through a mode of action that modulates the insect’s ryanodine receptor. This disruption of muscle contraction leads to paralysis and cockroach death. This is the ideal roach bait for controlling Oriental cockroaches, German cockroaches and American cockroaches in and around your operation.
