Target Specialty Products to Be the Exclusive Distributor for New Bayer Product, Imperium

Innovative Aerial Solution Offers Superior Efficacy with Low Application Rates

February 25, 2019 08:00 AM Eastern Standard Time

SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Target Specialty Products, a leading provider of Pest and Vector Control and Turf and Ornamental solutions in the U.S. and Canada, will be the exclusive distributor for Imperium – a new aerial mosquito-control solution from Bayer.

“We continue to build on our close relationship with Bayer to bring to market the latest solutions to deliver proven control of mosquitoes, developed with reduced environmental impact and safety in mind”

Tweet this

Bayer continues to invest heavily in ground-breaking solutions, ongoing research, training, and education to help Mosquito Control Professionals around the globe fight against mosquitoes that may carry disease. Imperium, the company’s latest innovation, is an aerial insecticide that utilizes patented formulation technology to deliver superior efficacy with low application rates, reduced impact, and an all-crop tolerance.

Imperium is also the first and only Type II pyrethroid (Deltamethrin) registered in the United States for wide area mosquito control. Deltamethrin has been proven to effectively control resistant mosquitoes in nationwide testing. The benefits of the product include:

Superior efficacy with low application rates







Imperium provides excellent control and knockdown using low application rates – up to 80 times less active ingredient than other products. This significantly reduces the amount of pesticide released into the environment.

Low impact, noncorrosive







In the public health sector, safety is a top priority. Because Imperium is non-corrosive and has no PBO and no VOCs, it provides peace of mind with reduced impact for applicators, the public and the environment.

All crop tolerance







Imperium is labeled for application over any and all crops including range and pasture lands. This gives mosquito abatement professionals the flexibility to control mosquitoes in a wide variety of environments.

Effective against resistant mosquitoes







Imperium is the only Type-II pyrethroid labeled for wide-area mosquito control. Its chemistry and advanced formulation provide exceptional control of mosquitoes with demonstrated resistance to other pyrethroids and/or organophosphates. Tested by public health officials across the country, Imperium is effective against numerous species of mosquitoes including those that may carry Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya, and West Nile viruses.

“We continue to build on our close relationship with Bayer to bring to market the latest solutions to deliver proven control of mosquitoes, developed with reduced environmental impact and safety in mind,” said David Helt, President of Target Specialty Products. “Imperium is the most advanced product in its class and we believe our customers will be excited to add this innovative product to fight against mosquitoes effectively.”

“We are very excited to offer Imperium through Target Specialty Products,” said Dr. Kurt Vandock, Head of Public Health for Bayer. “Imperium is a great example of how, at Bayer, our passion for protecting public health can result in a novel solution that is innovative, effective, and aligned with our global commitment to environmental stewardship.”

To help deliver this new innovation to the market, Bayer has partnered exclusively with Target Specialty Products to be the sole distributor of Imperium. Target Specialty brings experience and expertise in the area of aerial applications, along with an energetic team that will help deliver a successful solution to our customers.

Turf Fuel™ Cleanse Removes Organic acid, Restores Natural Hydration and Increases Infiltration

SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif. (Sept. 27, 2018)Target Specialty Products, a leading provider of turf and ornamental landscaping solutions in the U.S. and Canada, has launched Turf Fuel Cleanse, a product for turf professionals to treat soil that displays signs of localized dry spots (LDS), poor infiltration or poor soil health. Cleanse combines Turf Fuel’s proprietary Soil Sync technology with an even stronger solvent than previous formulations.

This combination gives treated soil an improved rewetting capability and more robust biological portfolio.
