Features and Benefits
| Feature | Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Belongs to the carbamate group of insecticides. | Represents a key rotation option for pyrethroids and DDT, aiding in the management of kdr resistance which is currently the most common resistance mechanism across these two chemical classes (kdr confers no cross resistance to carbamates). | |
| Carbamates cause reversible acetyl cholinesterase inhibition | Reversible acetyl cholinesterase inhibition means no need for routine Acetyl Cholinesterase Monitoring in Spraymen, unlike organophosphates | |
| Highly concentrated formulation available in convenient unit-dose water soluble sachets (100 and 125 g sachet per 8 L or 10 L spray tank) | Low volume packaging reduces bulkiness for shipment purposes, a clear logistical advantage over bulkier liquid formulations. Water soluble packaging minimises exposure during handling. | |
| Non-repellent chemistry | Complements use of pyrethoid impregnated bednets | |
| Odourless and non-staining | Fewer negative reactions from residents (no unpleasant odour or stains in houses) | |
| Broad spectrum of activity | Provides control of mosquitoes, houseflies, cockroaches, fleas, scorpions and various other pests | |
| WHOPES evaluated and recommended product for use as an indoor residual spray | Independent assessment provides reassurance of effectiveness and safety in use | |
| WHOPES evaluated and specified active ingredient | Independent assessment of quality of active ingredient source | |
| Successfully used for malaria control across more than 16 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa | Established performance and reliability, even in areas where insecticide resistance has challenged the performance of pyrethroids and DDT | |
| Successfully used for Chagas control within Latin America. | Established performance and reliability across this important neglected tropical disease |
