TRIPLE POWER® Public Health Insecticide | Cypermethrin, Tetramethrim & Piperonyl Butoxide 17.7% 1Ltr

TRIPLE POWER Public Health Insecticide

TRIPLE POWER Public Health Insecticide is the combination of Cypermethrin 8.4%, Tetramethrin 3%, and Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) 6.3% is often formulated for use in public health, specifically for the control of mosquitoes and other disease-carrying vectors. Each component serves a specific purpose in enhancing the overall efficacy of the insecticide. Here’s an overview of the key components:

1. Cypermethrin (8.4%):
   • Role: Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. It acts by targeting the nervous system of insects upon contact, leading to paralysis and death.
   • Application: Effective against a wide range of flying and crawling insects, including mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches.
2. Tetramethrin (3%):
   • Role: Tetramethrin is another synthetic pyrethroid with a similar mode of action to Cypermethrin. It acts as a fast-acting insecticide, providing a quick knockdown effect.
   • Application: Effective against flying insects, especially mosquitoes and flies.
3. Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) (6.3%):
   • Role: Piperonyl Butoxide is a synergist. It does not have insecticidal properties on its own but enhances the activity of insecticides like pyrethroids by inhibiting the action of enzymes that detoxify the insecticide in the insect’s body. This synergy can help overcome insecticide resistance in some cases.
   • Application: PBO is often combined with other insecticides to improve their effectiveness, particularly in situations where resistance is a concern.
