Insect Control a Snap for Wellmark International
with Glass Ampoules
from James Alexander Corporation

Blairstown, NJ - The Gentrol® Point Source ™ roach control device and Quick Strike™ Fly Abatement Strip from Wellmark International have more in common than outstanding performance in pest control. Both devices use crushable glass ampoules produced by James Alexander Corporation as delivery systems.

“Versatile, reliable and tamper-resistant, the glass ampoule offers package stability, active ingredient isolation, and maximum shelf life,” explains Francesca Fazzolari, President of James Alexander ”, “qualities that literally put insect control at the fingertips of Gentrol® Point Source and Quick Strike™ users.”

The glass ampoule used in Gentrol® Point Source provides an innovative insect growth regulator delivery system that is activated with a simple squeeze at the raised end of the device. Since no measuring, mixing or spraying is required, the package can be used by non-professionals. Since one Gentrol® device covers a 75 sq. ft. area for up to 90 days, cockroaches never have to come in direct contact with the device to be affected. Labeled for use in all areas of food handling establishments, Gentrol® can also be used in sensitive environments like hospitals.

The Quick Strike™ Fly Abatement Strip uses two triple-action glass ampoules at either end of the strip. When an ampoule is crushed, a pad absorbs the two feeding attractants and the fly sex pheromone that are contained in the ampoules, bringing flies to the area where they begin feeding on a fast-acting insecticide contained on a yellow-coated surface between the two ampoules. The first ampoule is activated upon initial placement and typically lasts for two to four weeks, at which time the second ampoule can be activated for continued fly attraction.

“The economy and ease of use of James Alexander’s glass ampoules make them the perfect packaging option for a wide range of uses in other products as well,” Fazzolari said. These include pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and toiletries, anti-theft security devices, diagnostic and analytical reagents, dental formulations, health and beauty aids, industrial lubricants and solvents, adhesives and inks.
