Short Description:
SCOURGE
® is a restricted use
synthetic pyrethroid that is effective for the control of mosquitoes
(including organophosphate resistant species), biting and non-biting
midge, blackflies, and biting and non-biting flies. It is labeled for
both ground and aerial application. It is a superb product to battle
resistance due to rapid degradation. It will not persist in the
environment, thus minimizing the time insects are exposed to the
active ingredient which in turn reduces the chance for insects to
develop resistance.
Active Ingredient:
Resmethrin and Piperonyl Butoxide
Technical
Mode of Action:
SCOURGE is a nerve synapse toxin which disrupts
the transfer of sodium and potassium ions across the Axom Hillock.
Where/When to use:
SCOURGE is designed for use when targeted insects
are active. SCOURGE provides effective control for targeted insects
in areas such as but not limited to industrial areas, urban areas,
parks, campsites, woodlands, athletic fields, golf courses,
playgrounds, recreational and overgrown waste areas, roadsides, and
other public areas where adult mosquitoes and flies occur.
Formulations/Packaging:
- SCOURGE 18-54 is available in 5 gl pail, 30 gl dr and 55 gl dr
- SCOURGE 4-12 is available in 5 gl pail, 55 gl dr and 275 gl tote
Features/Benefits:
- The most significant attribute of SCOURGE is its
effectiveness against insecticide resistant insects.
- This product will, many times, control insect
populations that many other products will not control.
- Another important attribute of this product is the
lack of photo stability. This allows rapid degradation of the active
ingredient which minimizes the persistence in the environment. This
also minimizes exposure to insects which may help greatly in their
ability to develop resistance to this and other compounds.
