Ceptiva certified applicators meeting a success

MANILA, Philippines - Pest control operators authorized to sell and apply the newly launched termiticide powder Ceptiva are being called “Ceptiva Certified Applicators” or “CCAs.” They are knowledgeable in the properties and are well-trained in the proper use of the acclaimed product.

Manufactured by the world’s top chemical company, BASF, Ceptiva powder is a contact and systematic termiticide that works through its unique feature called the “Transfer Effect.” The powder contains a dose of toxicant, acquired by termites through direct contact, mouth-to-mouth feeding, grooming behaviour, and physical presence in treated areas.

Proper handling and techniques, among other crucial topics, were discussed during the first CCA meeting held recently at the Metropolitan Club in Makati. The appointed CCAs and technicians were on hand for the lecture on various aspects of the BASF product, conducted by president Elmer Baradas of Philippine distributor Upgreen Corporation.

Baradas started the meeting by re-introducing facts about Ceptiva to the attendees. The advantages were expounded on during the presentation, such as Ceptiva’s broader efficacy, faster elimination (3 to 4 weeks), efficient usage (approximately 3 to 5 grams per colony), user-friendliness (no drillings required), and ecological safety (odorless, low toxicity to humans, animals and the environment).

This was followed by a segment devoted to application techniques. Baradas reiterated the importance of skill and patience when treating shelter tubes and other termite-invaded areas. The lecturer also talked about the precise handling of a Rega dust applicator.

The talk on marketing activities followed, which was discussed by BASF’s business manager Karina Herrera. She also joined Baradas in the open forum. There was a sharing of the CCAs’ product experiences, their successful Ceptiva use, and client testimonials, which delighted and encouraged the whole audience.

According to Baradas, this first official meeting proves that CCAs are indeed interested in Ceptiva and its positive effects in the local market.

“The CCAs are gathered here to know more about Ceptiva, which benefits us all since we’re helping each other to reach more clients and to spread the news about this effective product. These certified pest control operators and their technicians also need to know the details on correct Ceptiva implementation and analysis, to serve their clients efficiently.”
