New from Protek

Protek listens to their customers feedback and needs and therefore added new packing sizes to some of existing products:

Protek Guanoflo is a stalwart in the Protek range. Customers wanted a larger packing size for their bigger gardens so the range now includes a 5ℓ bottle. Guanoflo is a certified organic liquid fertiliser made from seabird droppings. It is very easy to apply with the snappy MixNozle that attaches to your garden hosepipe. Guanoflo is available in 200mℓ, 2ℓ and now the 5ℓ container.
Protek Mycoguard is a contact fungicide that is now available in the original 100mℓ bottle and a new 500mℓ bottle. Mycoguard preventatively controls a wide range of fungi on your plants, like anthracnose, black spot, dollar spot, downy mildew, early blight, late blight, botrytis rot, leaf spot and rust.
Protek Fly Bait proved its worth in the existing 200g shaker, but customers also requested a smaller container to suit their smaller living spaces. Fly Bait is now also available in the itsy bitsy 100g shaker. It is ready to use and can be applied as a dry bait, scatter bait or as surface spray and paint on.

Protek Spray-kill 1 for Ants is a new product in the Protek range. It comes in a 500mℓ and a 5ℓ bottle and offers great value for money. To get rid of ants indoors as well as outdoors, simply mix 4mℓ per 1ℓ water and spray the area.
Protek CarbaKil is a must-have in every household if you have pets. It is a convenient, ready to use product which controls a variety of pests, including lice on birds, ticks and fleas on dogs and cats, and many more. But what do you do if one has many of man’s best friend or a feathered flock? CarbaKil is now available in the 200g shaker as well as a new 500g shaker.
Protek Avi Gard Mercaptothion protect vegetables and fruit trees from pests like aphids, mealy bugs, scale, thrips, caterpillars and many more feasting on your precious crops. With its quick knockdown effect, within a few days, you (and your neighbourhood) will be able to enjoy the fruits (and veg) of your labour. Avi Gard is available in 100mℓ, 200mℓ and 500mℓ bottles.
