FENDONA is a fast-acting pyrethroid insecticide that quickly and effectively eliminates disease-causing insects. With its active ingredient alphacypermethrin, FENDONA is one of the most effective tools for protecting public health in regions where malaria and other vector-borne diseases are present. It’s highly effective when used as a surface spray or as a protective bed-net treatment.
Why Use FENDONA?
FENDONA works fast and lasts long. Its active ingredient works both on contact and through ingestion to eliminate insects in minutes. And its residual activity helps ensure that insects don’t return for up to nine months.
FENDONA is highly effective at low use-rates, and its low toxicity makes it safe for humans, mammals and the environment in general. In fact, FENDONA can be safely applied to kitchens, restaurants and food storage and processing areas. The combination of low dose and strong safety profile have placed FENDONA high on the World Health Organization’s list of recommended insecticides for use against malaria-bearing mosquitoes.
Reliable, Broad-Spectrum Pest Control
The control of mosquitoes and other vector-borne diseases is a top priority, but it is also important to note that FENDONA also works exceptionally well to control a wide spectrum of other insects, including nuisance pests such as flies, cockroaches, bedbugs and fleas.
Using FENDONA as a Surface Spray
To control mosquitoes and other insects, FENDONA is sprayed on walls and other surface areas where mosquitoes land. Unlike many other insecticides, FENDONA works on virtually any surface because its crystalline particles adhere to bare wood, glass, brick, concrete and masonry.
Using FENDONA to Treat Nets
Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) can reduce malaria illness by 50 per cent in areas of high transmission. And FENDONA is highly recommended for use on ITNs. FENDONA has a proven repellent action that keeps insects from getting too close to cause harm. Convenient Dip-It-Yourself™ FENDONA kits include almost everything a family needs to treat ITNs for themselves and re-treat them later. For maximum protection, nets should be treated before the beginning of the rainy season(s).
Because FENDONA is water-based, it has no significant odor, doesn’t stain, and has a low skin-irritation factor, making it well suited for ITN use.
