Thiamethoxam 10% + Z-9 Tricosene 0.05% WDG | Public Health Pest Control

Thiamethoxam 10% + Z-9 Tricosene 0.05% WDG

Thiamethoxam 10% + Z-9 Tricosene 0.05% WDG is a high-performance public health insecticide designed for environments where fly control is critical to sanitation and productivity. It merges two complementary active ingredients into a single, easy-to-apply formulation:

• Thiamethoxam (10%): A systemic and contact neonicotinoid insecticide that acts on the central nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death shortly after exposure. Its broad-spectrum activity is effective against various pests including plant hoppers, aphids, and flies.
• Z-9 Tricosene (0.05%): A highly specific sex pheromone attractant for houseflies (Musca domestica). This compound increases bait uptake by drawing adult flies to the treated areas, enhancing the insecticide’s impact and accelerating population control.

This WDG (Water-Dispersible Granule) formulation dissolves easily in water and can be used as a spray or painted directly onto fly resting surfaces. It offers:

• Up to 6 weeks of residual protection after application.
• Low resistance risk, due to the dual mechanism of kill and attract.
• Safety and flexibility, suitable for use in livestock areas, food storage zones, farms, and residential sectors.

Whether you are a distributor serving poultry farms or a procurement agent for public sanitation products, this solution offers a balance of efficacy, safety, and market-ready versatility.

Mode of Action

Thiamethoxam + Z-9 Tricosene WDG delivers a synergistic mode of action that combines neurotoxic disruption with behavioral attraction—making it an ideal solution for rapid, targeted, and prolonged fly control.

1. Thiamethoxam (10%) – Neonicotinoid Insecticide

Thiamethoxam belongs to the neonicotinoid chemical class and acts by binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the insect nervous system. This disrupts nerve transmission, leading to uncontrolled stimulation, paralysis, and eventual death of the pest. Key properties include:

• Contact and ingestion activity for immediate knockdown.
• Translaminar movement, allowing the insecticide to act on hard-to-reach areas of plant or surface tissue.
• Extended efficacy against adult flies, aphids, thrips, and plant hoppers.

2. Z-9 Tricosene (0.05%) – Sex Pheromone Attractant

Z-9 Tricosene is a synthetic mimic of the natural sex pheromone produced by female houseflies. Its function is not to kill directly, but to enhance bait attractiveness and direct flies toward treated surfaces. Benefits include:

• Increased fly contact with insecticide-treated areas, improving kill rates.
• Reduced fly populations through behavioral disruption.
• Selective attraction that minimizes non-target impact.

Dual Mechanism for Faster and Sustainable Control

By integrating physiological toxicity (Thiamethoxam) and behavioral manipulation (Z-9 Tricosene), this product reduces the chance of resistance development while ensuring both immediate knockdown and long-term suppression. This makes it especially valuable in public health, livestock, and sanitation-sensitive environments.

Target Pests & Application Areas

Thiamethoxam 10% + Z-9 Tricosene 0.05% WDG is engineered for effective fly management across both agricultural and public health sectors. Its formulation is tailored to eliminate key flying pests in high-risk environments through a combination of knockdown effect and pheromone-driven targeting.

Primary Target Pest: Houseflies (Musca domestica)

• Acts rapidly on adult flies by disrupting their nervous system.
• Pheromone lure increases fly contact with treated surfaces, improving kill efficiency.
• Ideal for managing fly populations in confined, high-infestation zones.

Additional Insect Targets

While optimized for housefly control, this product also offers secondary efficacy against:

• Aphids
• Thrips
