Cockroach control plays a critical role in protecting public health, and pest management professionals (PMPs) are on the front lines of that effort every day. As customer expectations become higher, challenges such as bait aversion and resistance can make reliable control increasingly difficult.
That reality is reflected in this year’s State of the Cockroach Control Market report, where more than half of surveyed PMPs report resistance as a concern in their local markets. These findings reinforce the importance of adaptive strategies and the need for tools that can keep pace with changing cockroach populations.
That’s why Syngenta is proud to once again partner with PCT to sponsor this annual report. Built on insights gathered from across the industry, the findings are designed to help PMPs better understand today’s cockroach pressures and make informed decisions about their control programs.
Syngenta continues to invest in research and innovation to help PMPs stay ahead of evolving cockroach pressures. A key example is Vanecto™ Cockroach gel bait, which delivers powerful control with the industry’s first novel mode of action (IRAC Group 30) in two decades. Designed to help manage tough infestations and support resistance management strategies, Vanecto Cockroach gives PMPs another proven option for achieving effective results in challenging environments.

As part of the broader Syngenta cockroach portfolio, Vanecto Cockroach complements trusted solutions like Advion® Trio cockroach gel bait and Advion MicroFlow insect bait, giving PMPs flexibility to tailor treatments based on infestation type, cockroach behavior and more. These solutions also align with the recommended treatment protocols in the SecureChoiceSM Cockroach Assurance Program, which are designed to support proven cockroach control results.
Cockroaches may continue to present complex challenges, but our commitment remains the same. We aim to deliver proven solutions and breakthrough innovations that can help PMPs provide their customers with a life uninterrupted by pests.
