The company is keen to embark upon other development projects across a range of markets. Current projects include smoke formulations for Insecticides, Bactericides and Fungicides, plus non-pesticide smoke products for industrial and novelty applications. Smoke generators are an ideal means of delivery for suitable active ingredients in an enclosed area, ensuring maximum dispersement to inaccessible areas.

The company's technical resource and flexibility were demonstrated in three recent development projects - a 50 gram pesticide smoke tablet for Latin America, a specially-scented smoke block for the Middle East and a pesticide smoke generator for the treatment of pet fleas in the domestic home. Smoke generators have considerable advantages over other means of application. They can be produced in plastic, cardbpard or aluminium containers, or in pellet form, and in a variety of sizes and dose rates to suit all applications.

Octavius Hunt has unrivalled technical expertise in the development and production of smoke products. The company is an ISO 9001:2000 and GLP accredited organisation.

Octavius Hunt has widespread experience in working with a range of Insecticides, Fungicides, Acaricides and other substances, including Cypermethrin, Dicloran, Imazilil, Permethrin, Chlorpyriphos, Pirimiphos-methyl and Pirimor.
