Etofenprox

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Disrupting the nervous system of insects

Common Product Names: Pivot Ultra Plus

What is it?

Etofenprox is a versatile insecticide widely used in agricultural, public health, and veterinary applications. Unlike many other pyrethroids, it has a unique chemical structure that makes it less toxic to mammals, including humans, while remaining highly effective against a broad spectrum of insect pests. Etofenprox is known for its quick action, making it a preferred choice for controlling infestations in both indoor and outdoor environments.

How does it work?

Etofenprox targets the nervous system of insects. When insects come into contact with or ingest the substance, it binds to the sodium channels of nerve cells, preventing normal nerve impulse transmission. This action results in the insects becoming paralyzed and dying within a short period. Due to its mode of action, Etofenprox is effective against various insect pests, including mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and agricultural pests.

Benefits

  • Residual Control: Etofenprox provides extended residual activity, meaning it continues to protect against insects for an extended period after application.
  • Rapid Action: Results are typically seen within hours after application, as insects quickly come into contact with the active ingredient and succumb to its effects.
  • Non-Systemic: Etofenprox does not penetrate plant tissues, making it suitable for use in integrated pest management (IPM) programs where minimizing environmental impact is crucial.
