It is a critical tool for integrated pest management programs, offering effective control against a diverse range of insect pests. This product is essential for agricultural producers, public health programs, and professional pest control operators seeking reliable and cost-effective pest mitigation solutions.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: Used on a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, field crops, and ornamentals to control sucking and chewing insects such as aphids, mites, scales, leafhoppers, and thrips.
• Public Health Vector Control: A key agent in mosquito abatement programs to control adult mosquitoes and larvae, helping to manage the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.
• Livestock and Animal Husbandry: Applied for the control of ectoparasites like lice, ticks, and flies on cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry.
• Stored Product Protection: Used to protect grains and other stored commodities from infestation by beetles, weevils, and moths.
• Commercial and Residential Pest Management: Employed by licensed professionals for the control of household pests such as ants, cockroaches, and bed bugs in specific formulations.
• Greenhouse and Nursery Management: Effective for managing pest populations in controlled environment agriculture.
