Technical Snapshot

Mode of Action

• Profenofos: Acts as an Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, disrupting nerve impulses, leading to paralysis and death.

• Cypermethrin: Modulates sodium channels, causing hyperexcitation and, in some cases, nerve block.

This synergistic effect provides superior control over hard-to-manage pests.
