For Travelers, Peace-of-Mind Comes in a 3 Ounce Can
Insight Pharmaceuticals releases Pronto Plus® bedbug spray in a travel-friendly size just in time for the holiday season
Langhorne, PA-November 18, 2010—Whether visiting family or stealing away on a romantic get-away this holiday season, one item not to leave off the packing list is the new 3 oz. Pronto Plus® bedbug spray. Knowing that the holiday season often means increased travel, Insight Pharmaceuticals, makers of Pronto Plus bedbug spray, has released a travel-friendly 3 ounce size of their bed bug spray. Like the original ten and five ounce household sprays, the new 3 ounce travel size kills bedbugs and their eggs on contact and is available at Walmart, Wegmans, Bed Bath & Beyond.
“We’ve seen an increase in sales of Pronto Plus spray due to the rise of bedbug infestations across the country,” said Gary Downing, CEO of Insight Pharmaceuticals. “The decision to produce a 3 ounce size is a natural extension for the Pronto Plus brand because bedbugs are known to spread through travel. Now when consumers are perusing the travel aisle to prepare for a trip, they’ll find peace of mind in a can with the convenience of a three ounce Pronto Plus® Household Spray.”
Michael Colongione, a veteran in the pest control field, member of a NESDCA (National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association) Certified Dog Team and President/ Owner of GotchA! K9 Bedbug Inspectors finds that consumers are more aware of bedbugs today than they were in the past. He cited that infestation reports are on the rise, and consumers are eager to educate themselves on prevention and early detection.
“As people become informed about the rise in bedbug infestations, they are increasingly concerned about exposure to bedbugs,” says Colongione. “Consumers can take matters into their own hands and arm themselves with a preventative like Pronto Plus spray. I recommend travelers treat their luggage, rental car and hotel room so they can prevent potential infestations of their homes after a trip.”
As the National Pest Management Association has reported a 71 percent increase in bedbug reports from 2000 to 2005 and a rate of hotel infestations at 67 percent in 2010, it is imperative that travelers arm themselves against these pests.
Pronto Plus® bedbug spray is available in the household and first aid aisles at a variety of retailers across the country. Pronto Plus spray is available in a 10oz., 5oz. and the newly launched 3oz. travel size. Some of the many retailers offering Pronto Plus bedbug spray include Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart, Rite Aid, Drugstore.com, Drug Mart, Winn Dixie, Safeway, Walgreens and Kroger. Additional distribution information can be found on www.prontoplus.com, by calling 1-800-344-7239 or by emailing customerservice@insightpharma.org.
