For the control of harmful pests in public health. Immediate knock-down effect and long residual activity. Contains vegetable-origin solvents. Public Health Product – Italian MOH registration no. 19906 Composition, 100 g product contain: Cypermethrin 93% min. (cis/trans 40/60) g 5 (46.25 g/l) Tetramethrin 94% min. g 2.5 (23.125 g/l) Piperonyl butoxide 94% min. g 12.5 (115.625 g/l) Methyl esters of vegetable-origin fatty acids up to g 100 CYPERMETHRIN family 2 type pyrethroid, photostable, persistent Mode of action By contact and ingestion Activity Alters the transmission of nervous impulses Insect development phase to control All larval and adult phases TETRAMETHRIN family 1 type pyrethroid, non-photostable, non-persistent Mode of action Mainly by contact Activity Gives a neurotoxic effect Insect development phase to control All larval and adult phases PIPERONYL BUTOXIDE family Methylendioxyphenol derivative Mode of action Protects 1 type pyrethroids from enzyme degradation Effects on insecticidal activity Contributes to the penetration of a pyrethroid into the insect body Formulation BIO AMPLAT is formulated as an innovative emulsifiable concentrate, containing vegetable-origin solvents instead of conventional petroleum solvents. 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. For mosquito control the product is approved for use in gardens, parks, tree-lined streets, on hedges and turfs. 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, wasps etc. Persistence The insecticidal activity of BIO AMPLAT persists for a few weeks 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 7 days whereas adulticidal applications on wide areas maintain their insecticidal efficacy for 8-10 days depending on rainfall, sunlight and temperature (high Technical Data Sheet I.N.D.I.A. INDUSTRIE CHIMICHE S.p.A. Nona Strada 55/57 35129 Padova Italia temperatures during the day and night reduce the activity of pyrethroids). When operating in such conditions, it recommended to use equipment that allows the formation of a homogenous deposit of insecticide on surfaces. Main insect pests that can be controlled BIO 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 BIO AMPLAT can be used at rates going from 0.2% to 4% (20 to 400 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: Pest Environment Rate Cockroaches Indoors 1-1.5% Cockroaches, ticks Outdoors, in sewage channels 1.5-2% Flies Indoors 1.5% Outdoors 2% Ants Indoors and outdoors 0.6-1% Mosquitoes Outdoors, with turboatomisers or high pressure sprayers 0.2-0.4% Wasps and hornets Application on combs located under roofs, on outer walls, inside trees 2% Mosquitoes and cockroaches Sewage channels by thermalfogging Dilution at 4% in an oily carrier. 1 litre of emulsion for 1000 cubic metres 1 litre of solution is sufficient to treat 10-15 square metres.
