When your customers call your company looking for pest control, they want results fast. Scion insecticide with UVX technology offers broad-spectrum control that lasts.

Scion liquid insecticide’s active ingredient gamma-cyhalothrin kills insects by contact and can knock down pests such as mosquitos, ants, spiders, ticks and cockroaches in minutes.

This product can be used on and around buildings, perimeters, ornamentals trees and shrubs, parks, recreational areas and athletic fields and more.

The UVX technology is a multi-component formulation engineered to provide at least 75 days of true performance – even in conditions that degrade other products. This means Scion can stand up to high temperatures, intense sunlight and harsh surfaces.

FMC has tested Scion with UVX technology under the most extreme conditions by applying it alongside competitive products to foliage and aged the residues under the harsh sunlight of the Southwest. Scion endured, still controlling mosquitoes after sixty days. The competition was unable to match Scion insecticide’s endurance.

Scion Mosquito Assurance guarantees 75 days of no retreatments after a Scion insecticide with UVX technology mosquito service is done. If a retreatment is required during the 75-day period, FMC will provide the amount of Scion insecticide needed for a reapplication.

Scion provides quick kills and provides residual control for weeks after one application reducing customer callbacks. Scion Tick Assurance guarantees 75 days of no retreatments after an application on hard tick species found outdoors.

End users in Florida note Scion offers them 90-day residual on their properties, despite high heat and sunlight.

FMC also offers Scion Perimeter Assurance, guaranteeing 90 days of no retreatments after an application on recurring residential service is done. If retreatment is required during the 90-day period, FMC will provide the amount of Scion insecticide needed to make a reapplication to the treated area.

The product comes in a liquid formulation and can be applied using a blower/mister, tank sprayer, or backpack sprayer. No Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) is required in your mix.
