Allow for safe, single-handed activation
at point of use
BLAIRSTOWN, NJ – The Gentrol®
Point Source™ roach control device and QuickStrike™
Fly Abatement Strip from Wellmark International have more in common
than their outstanding performance in pest control. Both devices
use crushable
glass ampoules produced by the James Alexander Corporation
as delivery systems.
“Versatile, reliable and
tamper-resistant, the glass
ampoules offer 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 QuickStrike 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. No measuring, mixing or spraying is required. And
since one Gentrol device covers a 75 square foot 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 QuickStrike Fly Abatement
Strip uses two triple-action glass
ampoules at either end of the
strip. When either ampoule is crushed, a pad absorbs the two feeding
attractants and fly sex pheromone that are released, 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 at 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 the James Alexander glass
ampoules make them the perfect
packaging option for a wide range of uses in other products as
well,” Fazzolari said. These include pharmaceuticals, first-aid
treatments, cosmetics and toiletries, theft deterrents, diagnostic
and analytical reagents, dental solutions, health and beauty aids,
industrial lubricants and solvents, and adhesives and inks.
