It is easily emulsified in water. Product properties The specific ratio of cypermethrin and tetramethrin in the product formula allows the professional pest controller to solve most pest-control problems rapidly and effectively. The stability of cypermethrin to light and the ability of tetramethrin to paralyse insects allow interventions: 1) outdoors: - to control insect pests in specific areas (such as flies in dung-pits and farms; ticks in farms etc.) - to reduce the population of insect pests moving through residential areas, tourist resorts etc. 2) inside buildings: - to control insect pests such as cockroaches, ants, spiders by taking advantage of the flushing properties of the product and by scheduling interventions at medium and long term - to tackle sudden infestations of fleas, bedbugs, wasps etc. Applications inside buildings should take into consideration possible complementary activities due to the presence of a solvent in the product, such as testing the effects of the emulsion on delicate surfaces and airing the premises after application. Technical Data Sheet I.N.D.I.A. INDUSTRIE CHIMICHE S.p.A. Nona Strada 55/57 35129 Padova Italia Persistence The insecticidal activity of AMPLAT persists for a few weeks (4-6) indoors and it is influenced by the type and frequency of cleaning operations and by temperature changes. Outdoors the persistence on wall surfaces exposed to weather is approximately 15-20 days whereas space treatments on wide areas have a persistence of 8-14 days depending on rainfalls and sunshine. Main insect pests that can be controlled AMPLAT is effective against all insect pests that may be a vector of microorganisms pathogenic to people and pets. In particular, the synergy between cypermethrin and tetramethrin allows the control of both flying and crawling insects, even resistant ones. The product also gives a flushing effect therefore it is also effective on insects that hide in cracks and crevices. Usage rates and directions for use AMPLAT can be used at rates going from 0.2% to 2% (20 to 200 ml product in 10 litres water). However, as with any insecticide, usage rates are connected to the type of insect pest to be controlled, to the environment to be treated, to the presence or absence of people, animals, vegetation, to temperature, humidity, wind speed. The following chart gives a few possible dilutions based on practice: Insect pest Environment Concentrations Cockroaches Inside buildings 1-1.5% Cockroaches, ticks Outdoors, in sewage drains 1.5-2% Flies Inside buildings 0.6-0.8% Outside buildings 1-1.5% Ants Indoors and/or outdoors 0.6-1% Mosquitoes, chironomid midges Outdoors, by means of atomisers or high pressure pumps 0.2-0.4% Wasps Under roofs, on outer walls, in treeholes 2% Mosquitoes, chironomid midges Outdoors by thermal fogging 50-70 ml/hectare, diluted in a solvent Mosquitoes, cockroaches In sewages by thermal fogging 40-50 ml per 1,000 m3, diluted in a solvent Active ingredients toxicity CYPERMETHRIN: LD50 oral acute rat 250-4150 mg/kg TETRAMETHRIN: LD50 oral acute rat >5000 mg/kg PIPERONYL BUTOXIDE: LD50 oral acute rat >7000 mg/kg Warning For the proper use of this product, follow the instructions given on the product label.
