Mode of Action & Behavioral Synergy

How the bait works after a fly lands
You deploy a behavioral attract-and-kill system that first draws adult flies using (Z)-9-tricosene 0.05%, then converts landings into feed-through on the bait matrix. Once ingested or contacted, propoxur 1%—a carbamate in IRAC 1A—inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE), causing acetylcholine accumulation, neuromuscular hyperexcitation, paralysis, and rapid knockdown, where registered. Because the pathway is contact and ingestion, your field results depend on station placement, traffic density, and palatability of the matrix; disciplined site hygiene and route planning keep flies cycling through bait points rather than sensitive areas.

Why the combination performs in real facilities

• Landing probability ↑: (Z)-9-tricosene acts as a pheromone-like cue that aggregates houseflies and increases land-and-feed behavior at your bait points.
• Conversion to mortality ↑: the matrix encourages feed-through; IRAC 1A then provides fast knockdown, reducing nuisance and breeding pressure near livestock and waste lines.
• Footprint control: by concentrating action in bait stations, you limit broad-area spraying and can align with IPM measures (sanitation, exclusion, monitoring) for sustainable pressure reduction.
• Program flexibility: you can rotate away from 1A in subsequent windows (per label) to manage selection pressure while keeping attract-and-kill coverage in place.

Stewardship checkpoints you control

• Label-guided deployment only; use bait stations or protected spot placements away from food-contact surfaces and out of reach of children and animals.
• Integrate sanitation (remove residues, moisture sources) so bait outcompetes competing substrates; keep routes aligned with airflows and fly corridors.
• Maintain inspection cadence: replace spent or contaminated bait; log station IDs, dates, and counts to inform rotation to non-1A tools as needed.
• Never place on food, feed, or potable water; operate strictly where registered and observe local notification or signage rules.

Target Pests & Use Areas

Primary targets (label-dependent)

• Houseflies (Musca domestica) — nuisance reduction and breeding-site pressure control through attract-and-kill.
• Stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) — perimeter bait stations to intercept resting/feeding traffic.
• Other label-listed filth flies as permitted where registered.
  Program note: your results scale with station density, palatability, and sanitation that removes competing food sources.

Facilities & placements (where registered)

• Livestock operations: dairy, poultry, swine, and feedlots—use protected bait stations at non-contact zones (doorways, loading bays, service corridors, fence lines).
• Waste & logistics: transfer points, collection bays, recycling yards; place along fly corridors and shaded, dry structures.
• Food-handling perimeters: external areas away from food/food-contact surfaces; integrate with exclusion (screens, air curtains).
• Outdoor service areas: canopies, docks, equipment sheds; keep stations out of reach of children and animals and off water.

Integration with IPM

• Pair with sanitation (organic residue removal, drainage) so bait outcompetes competing substrates.
• Use monitoring (counts at stations, sticky cards near routes) to time non-1A rotations and refresh cycles.
• Maintain records (station IDs, dates, counts) to prove control and refine placement over time.

Always deploy label-guided, where registered, in bait stations or protected spot placements; never place on food, feed, or potable water.

Application Principles (label-guided)

Prepare & place — make every landing count

• Work label-guided and where registered; select bait stations or protected spot placements in non-food-contact zones.
• Choose shaded, dry, low-disturbance locations along fly corridors (doors, docks, service lanes); keep stations out of reach of children and animals.
• Coordinate with sanitation so the bait outcompetes organic residues; remove competing food sources and standing moisture.
• Keep containers closed until use; wear appropriate PPE and prevent spill or drift onto food, feed, or potable water.

Operate & maintain — keep the matrix attractive

• Inspect on a fixed cadence; replace spent, soiled, or water-damaged bait to maintain palatability and land-and-feed behavior.
• Secure stations against rain and wash-downs; use mounts or covers that protect the bait yet allow easy fly access.
• Prevent cross-contamination with cleaners or insecticidal sprays at the same point; keep label-permitted separation between tools.
• Record station IDs, placement notes, dates, and observations to standardize service quality and support audits.

Verify & rotate — sustain pressure reduction

• Track counts per station and nuisance indicators to confirm rapid knockdown and trend lines across routes.
• When performance plateaus or season shifts, rotate to non-1A tools per label and adjust station density/locations based on traffic maps.
• Maintain signage/notification where required; handle container disposal according to local rules. Deploy only where registered and never on food/food-contact surfaces.

Formulation & Stability

Matrix engineering — built for land-and-feed conversion
You work with a ready-to-use bait matrix that balances palatability, adhesion, and moisture control so flies land and feed instead of bypassing stations. The system supports controlled release of (Z)-9-tricosene 0.05% to sustain attraction, while propoxur 1% is positioned for contact/ingestion delivery. The matrix resists wash-downs and surface dust, and its odor profile is tuned to remain attractive in shaded, dry, low-disturbance placements—where registered.

Quality controls you can audit

• Active content: HPLC assay for propoxur 1%; GC/validated method for (Z)-9-tricosene 0.05% loading and uniformity.
• Physical performance: palatability screening, matrix hardness/friability, moisture and water activity checks; surface integrity after handling.
• Stability program: accelerated and ambient holds to verify active retention, release behavior, and package integrity; appearance/odor acceptance criteria.
• Documentation: each lot ships with COA / SDS / TDS and full batch traceability to support audits and distributor onboarding.

Storage & handling discipline

• Keep bait in original, tightly closed packaging; store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials.
• Prevent water ingress before deployment; avoid strong cleaning chemicals near stored bait to protect odor and palatability.
• Use FIFO; inspect packs for damage before loading bait stations; wear appropriate PPE.
• Never store with food, feed, or potable water; dispose of empties and residues per label and local regulations.

Packaging & OEM presentation

• Foil-laminate pouches and station-ready trays improve shelf stability and field loading speed; options for tamper-evident closures.
• OEM private label with multilingual artwork, barcoding/QR, and placement icons supports clear routing and compliance where registered.

Tank Mix / Co-placement & Safety

Compatibility & co-placement

• No tank mix: this is a ready-to-use bait; do not dilute or tank-mix. Use only label-permitted co-placement strategies.
• Separation: keep bait physically separate from residual sprays, space treatments by time and location, and avoid wetting bait with cleaners or insecticides that reduce palatability.
• Stations first: deploy in bait stations or protected spot placements away from food/food-contact areas and out of reach of children and animals.
• IPM pairing: pair with sanitation/exclusion/monitoring and rotate to non-1A tools in subsequent windows where registered.

Safety & handling

• Wear appropriate PPE; prevent contamination of food, feed, potable water, and animal habitats.
• Follow local signage/notification rules; maintain buffer from water and sensitive areas.
• Replace spent/soiled bait; dispose of residues/empties per label and local regulation.
• Operate strictly label-guided and where registered.

Regulatory & Stewardship

Operate within the label

• Use only where registered; the label governs sites, targets, intervals, and any restrictions for IRAC 1A baits.
• Packaging carries GHS elements; programs align with applicable REACH/WHMIS language as required.
• Maintain traceable records (station IDs, dates, observations, lot/batch, outcomes) to support audits and continuous improvement.

Environmental behavior (principles)

• Bait is attract-and-kill for adult filth flies; keep off water and food-contact surfaces.
• Limit non-target access via stations/covers; coordinate with sanitation to reduce competing substrates.
• Follow local rules for waste and container disposal; never apply to food/feed.

Field Use Scenarios (label-dependent)

Dairy perimeter — high traffic at loading bays
You map fly corridors (shade, airflow) and mount bait stations along bay frames and fence lines away from food-contact. After sanitation, you place stations at shaded, dry points, avoid wash-downs, and log station IDs. Within service windows, (Z)-9-tricosene boosts land-and-feed, propoxur 1% delivers rapid knockdown, and counts trend down. You refresh soiled bait and plan a non-1A rotation next window per label.

Waste transfer point — peak nuisance near doors
You deploy covered stations along door rails and wind-sheltered structures; you maintain separation from cleaners/sprays and keep records of counts per station. Attraction concentrates flies at the bait, reducing interior ingress. When counts plateau, you rotate away from 1A and tighten sanitation to protect gains.

Food-handling perimeter — compliance first
You operate outside food-contact areas only, with stations mounted on exterior structural elements under shade. Routes avoid customer access; signage/notifications are posted as required. Monitoring cards near doors confirm reduced landings; spent bait is replaced on cadence, and all disposals follow label and local rules.
