July 8, 2008 – Diatect International Corporation (OTCBB:DTCT), a provider of eco-friendly insect control products, today announced that Professional Golfer’s Association (PGA) Champion Charles Henry “Chip” Beck will endorse Diatect products and also promote and assist the company with the development of innovative marketing outreach programs. As part of the endorsement, Beck will display Diatect’s logo on his golf clothing and tour bag.
Beck played in the PGA Tour from 1979 to 1999 and claimed four official victories. His accomplishments include the second “59” in PGA tour history at the Las Vegas Invitational and the first “par-4 ace” in Nationwide Tour history, when he scored a 316-yard hole-in-one at Champions’ Run in the Omaha Classic 2003. He was among the top 10 players in the Official World Golf Rankings for 40 weeks in 1988 and 1989. Beck was runner-up in the 1986 and 1989 U.S. Open Championships and played in three Ryder Cups between 1989 and 1993. He became eligible for the Champions’ Tour in 2006 and remains active in the golf community as a player and product promoter.
Beck said, “Diatect is experiencing thriving market demand for its natural pest control solutions in the household, commercial and agricultural markets. The company’s products are designed and formulated to meet the needs of the organic food industry and to control most major pest problems without synthetic ingredients and represent a viable solution for today’s food safety concerns.”
“Golf courses are a perfect target market for Diatect since its products kill insects on contact. The courses can be treated at any time without creating a safety hazard or inconvenience to the golfers. We feel that the wholly natural products will be particularly efficient at curbing fire ant infestations that have become a major problem on golf courses, particularly in the Southeast.”
