Commercial Insecticides

The Micro-Emulsion (ME) formulation type carries the active ingredient as extremely small droplets, sometimes referred to as nano-technology, in a high surfactant liquid phase.

ME concentrates have a slightly ‘soapy smell' and dilute in water to provide a clear, stable ready-for-use liquid. This provides a clear concentrate that dilutes in water to provide a clear, very stable, dilute product. The small droplets of active substance provide a very large number of point sources of contact that make it difficult for the target insect to avoid on a treated surface. The high loading of surfactants also facilitates the rapid penetration of the insect’s cuticle.

This formulation type provides excellent residual control on non-sorbtive surfaces such as metal, ceramic tiles etc. but is not as effective on sorbtive surfaces when compared with Super Concentrates or Wettable Powders.

PelGar has developed a range of ME's incorporating combinations of conventional killing agents, knockdown agents, metabolic synergists and insect growth regulators.
