AMVAC introduces AVESTA CS broad-spectrum insecticide

AMVAC Chemical Corporation, a business unit of American Vanguard Corporation, announced it will offer AVESTA CS. The broad-spectrum insecticide complements the company’s current pest management product line.

AVESTA CS is the first AMVAC product to feature lambda-cyhalothrin as its active ingredient. Its low toxicity and ability to control dozens of pests, such as mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches, spiders, flies and ticks, make it an ideal solution for both indoor and outdoor applications.

“The pest management industry continues to see increased growth as professionals receive more customer requests for broad-spectrum control,” says Jeff Alvis, Business Manager, AMVAC Environmental Products. “AVESTA CS is a great tool to supplement our pest management offerings, providing professionals with a proven formula that is safe and effective at controlling a wide variety of insects at a great value.”

AVESTA CS microencapsulates its active ingredient, providing a controlled release. The product will be available in 8 or 32 oz. squeeze-and-pour bottles and can be used in yard sprays to control mosquitos and other pests. AVESTA CS will be available for purchase beginning fourth quarter of 2016.
