Liquid Residual Insecticide

Protector C Liquid Residual Insecticide

Most liquid insecticides are classed as “residual insecticides“: after drying they leave a film that will kill bugs and remain effective for some length of time, depending on the formulation, the condition of the surface (greasy, wet, etc.), and the type of surface (e.g. concrete, wood, soil, etc.).

Pyrethroid pesticides (permethrin, cypermethrin, allethrin, etc.) are highly toxic to insects but only of slight toxicity to mammals, and are hence a preferred choice for use around the house. Protector C can be used on mattresses and carpets.

  • Solvent-free, Long-lasting, odourless treatment
  • Water-based treatment for beds, mattresses and household furniture
  • Professional or domestic use

Details & Formulations

Protector c is an advanced nanoemulsion formulation based on water and containing the active ingredient cypermethrin at 0.1%. This liquid residual insecticide is available in 1 Litre trigger spray bottles or 5 Litre flagons (for use in compression sprayers).
The advanced nanoemulsion technology creates ultra-fine droplets which penetrate all the cracks & crevices where small bug pests are harbouring. This results in an immediate kill and knockdown effect with the added benefit of the active ingredient remaining on the surface, for up to three months, to kill any insects that enter from a non-treated area.

  • Always read and follow all advice from the product label. Use pesticides safely.
  • Space treatments: Apply 1ml of product per cubic metre as a fine mist
  • Surface sprays: Apply 20ml of product per square metre, slightly wetting the surface to be protected.
