Brief Your Team on IGRs, a Formula for Sustainability

We all like to see the quick results of an adulticide, but immediate knockout alone is not always effective in the long-run. Choosing products that include an insect growth regulator (IGR) not only reduces call-backs, but it also saves resources, making products that contain an IGR greener and more sustainable. Make sure your team knows about products that contain IGRs.
