hephboard Orthene PCO Pellets — Acephate granular spot treatment for pesticide-resistant roaches, professional perimeter use

Orthene PCO Pellets are granular pest-control pellets formulated with acephate to target and reduce populations of insects that have become resistant to other insecticides.

If you need a focused, professional-strength granular option for treating stubborn roach infestations and other resistant crawling pests, Orthene PCO Pellets deliver a concentrated acephate formulation designed for spot treatments and perimeter use. This product is intended for use by trained pest management professionals or qualified handlers who follow label directions. Note: not available for sale in New York, California, Alaska, or Connecticut.

How does Orthene PCO Pellets differ from regular roach baits or sprays?

Unlike baits or contact sprays, these pellets provide a granular acephate formulation that can be placed in cracks, voids, and outdoor perimeters where liquid or gel products may not be practical. The pellets are designed to remain effective as a localized barrier or spot treatment rather than as a dispersed aerosol.

• Active ingredient: acephate for systemic contact and ingestion activity
• Granular form suits cracks, edges, and soil/perimeter placements
• Useful where gels or sprays are hard to apply or degrade quickly

Will these pellets control pesticide-resistant roaches?

Orthene PCO Pellets were formulated to address insects that have developed tolerance to some common insecticide classes. Acephate works through a different mode of action, offering an alternative tool in resistance management when used according to label directions.

• Contains acephate, a different active chemistry than many pyrethroid products
• Can be integrated into a rotation program for resistance management
• Most effective when combined with sanitation and exclusion practices

How should I apply these pellets safely and effectively?

Follow all label instructions and local regulations. Apply pellets in targeted spots such as foundation perimeters, around drains, in wall voids, and other pest harborage areas; avoid broadcast scattering in living spaces and protect non-target animals and children from access.

• Wear appropriate PPE and use only as directed on the product label
• Place in cracks, crevices, voids, and outside perimeter bands—do not apply indoors where people or pets will contact the bait
• Store sealed and secure; follow disposal instructions for leftover material

Are there sales restrictions or legal considerations?

Yes. This product is not offered for sale in certain states due to state-specific regulatory restrictions. Buyers must also comply with federal and local pesticide regulations and ensure they are authorized to purchase and apply restricted-use products where applicable.

• Not for sale in New York, California, Alaska, or Connecticut
• Check local rules for restricted-use pesticide purchase and application
• Keep product in original packaging and retain the label for reference
