CENTRAL GARDEN & PET CO acquired FourStar Microbial Products, LLC, a transaction announced in January 2013, structured as Purchase of remaining majority interest.
FourStar Microbial Products, LLC operates in Garden, is based in United States. Central Garden & Pet purchased the remaining majority interest in New York-based FourStar Microbial Products, LLC to complement its mosquito-control business. FourStar's microbial products are derived from naturally occurring soil bacteria and prevent juvenile mosquitoes from emerging into biting, disease-spreading adults, with residual activity of 7 to 180 days in granule and briquet formats.
Gives Central a full range of mosquito-control products for professionals — spanning its Altosid juvenile-control line, Zenivex adult-control products and the B2E FourStar microbials — to help protect the public from West Nile virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis and other mosquito-borne diseases.
