Decis Insecticide Technical Details
-
Technical Content: Deltamethrin 2.8 EC (2.8% w/w)
-
Mode of Entry: Non-systemic, contact and ingestion
-
Mode of Action: Bayer’s Decis 2.8 insecticide acts by contact and ingestion. Its high lipophilicity provides a high affinity with the insect cuticle. In the insect body it affects the nerve transmission by acting on the axon. It disrupts the conduction of the nervous influx by modifying the kinetics of the function of the sodium canal.
Key Features & Benefits

- Very low solubility in water gives good rain fastness.
- Very low vapor pressure and therefore a good resistance to evaporation.
- Most effective synthetic pyrethroid because of a single pure isomer.
- Demonstrates repellent action and anti-feeding properties.
- Excellent rain-fastness.
