Matrine 3% EC is widely used across sanitation programs, pest control services, and facility maintenance in areas that demand low-toxicity insecticides. It is especially suited for chemical-sensitive environments such as residential homes, hospitals, food preparation areas, and public buildings.

In municipal sanitation programs, it is applied in sewer lines, garbage zones, drains, and toilets to control cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes. In the hospitality industry, hotels and restaurants use it as part of daily maintenance to prevent infestations without discomfort to guests. In food industry settings, its non-residual, odorless nature makes it ideal for use in kitchens, storage units, and processing areas. Pest control companies also rely on it as an eco-friendly solution for clients seeking green alternatives. It integrates well with IPM strategies and supports safe pest management across indoor and semi-enclosed environments.

Usage Method and Application Guidelines

Matrine 3% EC can be applied using manual sprayers or fogging systems depending on the treatment area and pest density.

• Residual Spray: Mix 100–150 mL of product into 5–10 liters of water and apply to 100 m² of surface. Focus on baseboards, drains, and pest entry points.
• ULV Fogging: Dilute 2–5 mL per 1 liter of carrier for fine mist dispersion in large enclosed areas.
• Reapplication: Repeat treatment every 7–14 days depending on severity and environmental conditions.

Always ventilate treated areas before re-entry. Avoid direct spraying of food or sensitive equipment.
