Tenopa^® SC

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.

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.

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.

Tenopa^® SC comes with an integrated measuring chamber for easy & accurate dosing. It is supplied in 250 ml autodose containers for dilution with water and application through any conventional or pump sprayer. Apply a fine coating over the treatment areas at low pressure (approx. 2 bar) and using a uniform, medium sized particle range.

Sprayers should be filled with the required amount of water and the measured dose of Tenopa^® SC added before being shaken thoroughly to ensure even mixing. Thorough shaking is also recommended after any prolonged breaks from work.

Spraying should achieve a uniform coverage of the target area without excessive wetting or liquid run-off.

Tenopa^® SC: Reg. No. L8863 (Act No. 36 of 1947) contains alphacypermethrin (pyrethroid) 30g/lt and flufenoxuron (acylurea) 30g/lt. Caution. ^® = registered trademark of BASF.
