FAQ
Thiamethoxam is a broad spectrum insecticide belonging to the group of neonicotinoids. The target sites are the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors within the nervous system of the insect. Tricosene is a fly pheromone and acts as a sexual attractant. Thiamethoxam is devoid of cross-resistance to other insecticides like organophosphates and pyrethroids.
Thiamethoxam WP 10% contains sugar. It thus attracts the flies and is taken up orally. The presence of tricosene increases significantly the attractiveness of the product.
Indications
Thiamethoxam WP is used as a paint-on for the control of flies in and around animal housing and farm buildings. The major target species is the house fly Musca domestica.
