Aqua K-Othrine Space Spray Insecticide Concentrate

A water-based space spray concentrate for use in the management of mosquitoes and flies. Contains Film Forming Aqueous Suspension Technology which allows dilution with water without reducing performance.
Product Type Insecticide
Active Ingredient(s) 20 g/L deltamethrin
Formulation Type EW
Chemical Group pyrethroids
Market Segments Vector
Grouping 3A

Key Features

  • An internationally recognised space spray control product; providing re-assurance of effectiveness and reliability.
  • Contains the synethetic pyrethoroid deltamethrin - a derivative of naturlaly occurring pyrethrum. Registered for use against mosquitoes and flies. Water-based non-flammable formulation.
  • Unique formulation containing FFAST anti-evaporant technology ensuring droplet size is optimized for best results.
  • Dilutes in water for both ULV and thermal fog application - reducing reliance on hydrocarbon-based diluents. This is better for the environment and for public health.
  • Fully approved under WHO Pesticide Evaluation Scheme for use as a space spray.
  • AQIS Type A Approval
  • Very low application rates meaning smaller packs can treat larger areas (1 L is enough to treat 20 ha). This reduces packaging waste as well as fuel consumption during transport.
  • Very high level of safety in use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I have diluted emulsifiable concentrate space-spray products with water in the past and the results have been questionable - how does Aqua K-Othrine differ?
A: the problem with water is that small water-based droplets evaporate relatively quickly after generation from the spray nozzle. Since the effectiveness of any space-spray (intended for control of flying insects) relies heavily on the ability to maintain droplets, of the right size, being suspended in air for the optimum period; the evaporation of the droplets needs to be controlled. This is where FFAST comes in. This formulation technology reduces evaporation and therefore increases efficacy compared to standard water-diluted EC formulations.

Q: What would be the situations when I would use a space-spray over other mosquito-control practices?
A: Space-spraying with a product like Aqua-K-Othrine provides an ability to react quickly to the threat of mosquito-borne disease.
