About Temephos 50% EC

Temephos 50% EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate) is a highly potent organophosphate insecticide primarily used as a larvicide to control mosquito, midge, and black fly larvae in various water bodies. It acts by inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, which disrupts the nervous system of the larvae, causing paralysis and death before they can reach adulthood. It is widely used in public health programs, including for drinking water containers, and offers long-lasting residual control.

Benefits of Temephos 50% EC:

Effective Mosquito Larvae Control: It is highly effective at eliminating larvae of Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex mosquitoes, which are carriers of diseases like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya.
Long-Lasting Residual Action: The 50% EC formulation provides a long residual effect, often lasting for up to 1012 days and sometimes up to 4 weeks depending on the environment.
Wide Application Scope: Temephos 50% EC is suitable for use in diverse water environments, ranging from stagnant water bodies, ponds, swamps, and drains to household containers.
Safety for Potable Water: When used at recommended, low dosages, it is safe to use in domestic water storage containers.
High Efficiency & Quick Action: It provides rapid knockdown of larvae and is effective against other arthropod vectors, including cyclops (a vector of guinea worm disease).
Cost-Efficient: Due to its effectiveness at low concentrations, it is an economical choice for large-scale mosquito management and public health programs.
Easy Formulation: As an emulsifiable concentrate, it is easily mixed with water, allowing for uniform application and maximum coverage.
Targeted Action: It is effective even in highly polluted water and tidal zones.
