With its active ingredient, lambda-cyhalothrin, it offers fast knockdown, long-lasting residual activity, and reliable control for both residential and institutional settings.
This article explores Icon 10 SC in detail—its formulation, active ingredient, mode of action, application method, residual benefits, and the advantages of sourcing it from Agriguard Agrovet.
Understanding the Basics
Ii is a Suspension Concentrate (SC) insecticide designed for professional indoor use. Its primary purpose is to provide long-term protection against mosquitoes, flies, and other public health pests that pose risks to human health. Unlike many conventional insecticides, it is highly effective on multiple surfaces, including walls, ceilings, and timber structures.
The formulation allows even distribution during spraying, ensuring treated surfaces retain efficacy for extended periods. It is particularly suited for areas prone to mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever.
Key Features and Advantages
It offers several key benefits that make it a standout choice for public health programs:
- Long-Lasting Residual Control: Once applied, the insecticide provides effective pest control for up to 9 months, reducing the need for frequent reapplication.
- Single Annual Application: Its extended residual effect allows coverage for both dry and rainy seasons, making it highly convenient for households, clinics, schools, and community facilities.
- Versatility Across Surfaces: It maintains efficacy on painted walls, concrete, wood, and other common indoor surfaces, ensuring consistent protection throughout the treated area.
These features make it a reliable tool for both professional pest controllers and public health initiatives.
The Active Ingredient: Lambda-Cyhalothrin
The power lies in its active ingredient, lambda-cyhalothrin, a synthetic pyrethroid widely used in vector control programs. Lambda-cyhalothrin is known for:
- Rapid knockdown of mosquitoes and other pests
- Persistent residual activity
- Low application rates for effective coverage
By targeting the insect nervous system, lambda-cyhalothrin ensures fast action against mosquitoes and other vectors, reducing the risk of disease transmission.
Application Guidelines
Icon 10 SC is applied through indoor residual spraying (IRS). Key application recommendations include:
- Dilute the product according to manufacturer instructions for professional IRS use.
- Spray all indoor resting surfaces, including walls, ceilings, and potential mosquito harborage areas.
- Ensure uniform coverage to maximize residual efficacy.
- Only one application per year is sufficient to maintain protection for most settings.
Proper application is critical to achieving the long-lasting benefits Icon 10 SC provides.
Available Pack Sizes
It is supplied in a 62.25ml pack, designed for professional IRS programs. This compact size ensures precise handling and dosing during large-scale indoor spraying campaigns.
