DINOTEFURAN 20% WG
A third-generation neonicotinoid insecticide in a water-dispersible granule (WG) formulation. It offers rapid knockdown and long-lasting control of both sucking and chewing pests with unique systemic properties, making it ideal for comprehensive public health pest management.
Product Information
Dinotefuran acts as an agonist at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect central nervous system. It mimics the neurotransmitter acetylcholine but cannot be broken down by enzymes. This causes continuous overstimulation of the nervous system, leading to tremors, paralysis, and rapid death. It is highly water-soluble, allowing for systemic movement within plants (if used in ag) or excellent surface coverage.
- Mosquitoes (Anopheles, Aedes, Culex spp.) – Adulticide control.
- Houseflies (Musca domestica) – Rapid knockdown.
- Cockroaches (Blattella, Periplaneta spp.) – Including resistant strains.
- Ants (various species) – Excellent transfer effect.
- Bed Bugs (Cimex lectularius)
Granules dissolve quickly without dust issues. Odorless and non-staining, making it perfect for indoor sensitive areas (hospitals, hotels). Effective against pests resistant to pyrethroids and organophosphates.
