Why Tenopa® SC?

Long Lasting Control

In trials, Tenopa® SC has been shown to out perform traditional growth regulators and provide effective residual action for up to 4 months.

The 2 active ingredients work together to kill the adult insects, prevent egg production & further development of any life stages. Therefore, the risk of any renewed infestation is reduced.

Adult insects are sensitised within the first few minutes of contact, knockdown is achieved in as little as 30 minutes with dead individuals within 24 hours.

Active Ingredient

Tenopa® SC combines the fast-acting insecticide alpha-cypermethrin & the insect growth regulator flufenoxuron.

Whilst the alphacypermethrin induces hyperexcitation & death by blocking the sodium channels of the nervous system, the flufenoxuron causes an inhibition of the chitin synthesis.

Due to the inhibition of the chitin synthesis, the larvae cannot proceed to any further developmental stages.

Safe of use

It is odourless, non staining and of very low toxicity to humans and mammals making it ideal for sensitive accounts. There is no required waiting period after application, therefore humans & animals may enter the room immediately after treatment has dried.
