Permethrin Smoke generator
A multi purpose product for disinfestation in enclosed spaces. The insecticidal smoke will control insects present at the time of treatment by direct contact action.

What is Permethrin?
Permethrin is a broad-spectrum insecticide, a chemical used to kill a variety of insects. Permethrin is referred to as a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide because, while manmade, it resembles naturally occurring chemicals with insecticidal properties called pyrethroids. Pyrethroids are found especially in chrysanthemums. Pyrethroids are one of the oldest classes of organic insecticides known. They work by quickly paralyzing the nervous systems of insects, producing a quick "knockdown" effect on insect populations. Permethrin acts as a stomach poison when it is ingested by insects or as a contact poison through direct contact with target pests. It kills adults, eggs, and larvae, and has a slight repellent effect against insects. The insecticidal property of this material lasts up to 12 weeks after application.

Mode of Action
Permethrin, like all synthetic pyrethroids, kills insects by strongly exciting their nervous systems. It makes the nervous system hypersensitive to stimuli from sense organs. Rather than sending a single impulse in to a stimulus, permethrin exposed nerves send a train of impulses. This excitation occurs because blocks the movement of sodium ions from outside to inside of the nerve cells.

Where to use Permethrin Smokes
The smokes are the ideal application for the control of flying and crawling insects. They can be used for general infestation in warehouses and public health situations. They are also perfect for use in awkward spaces where spraying equipment is difficult to use for example, in lofts, tall structures and inside machinery.
