*Talunex

Contains the active ingredient ALUMINIUM PHOSPHIDE (56%w/w). The MAFF number for this product is 01775.

*Tenopa

Made by Sorex, this insecticide contains Alphacypermethrin and Flufenoxuron. Tenopa is a very modern insecticide which contains a new insect growth regulator (Flufenoxuron) that prevents the development of eggs, larvae and nymphs. Although (Flufenoxuron) on its own is not as fast acting as a conventional insecticide, it has the advantage of lasting several months. Alphacypermethrin on its own is a highly effective, fast acting insecticide and the two together make a very effective treatment.
