ATTRATHOR™ Targeted Insecticide
ATTRATHOR In Action Video
A revolutionary new cockroach and ant control technology combining the world’s first Quick-release Insect Attractant Micro-capsules™, together with Controlled-release Active Micro-capsules™ of fipronil, the active you know and trust.
Cockroach and ant control historically began with liquids and sprays. Then came gel baits, which are more effective and environmentally friendlier, but labour intensive.
Now ATTRATHOR revolutionises the market again using a targeted film application containing a food (bait) attractant and powered by fipronil. It has the efficacy of a traditional gel bait, but is much less labour intensive to apply, and is approved for use in food preparation areas.
Insects are lured to the target zone by the Quick-release Insect Attractant Microcapsules™, where they unknowingly pick up the deadly Controlled-release Active Microcapsules™.
Key Features
Quick-release Insect Attractant Micro-capsules™; Tiny, 2 μm, solid-core capsules which contain the cockroach food attractant are in a matrix within a polymer shell. These tiny Micro-capsules have a large surface area relative to their volume, which allows for the quick-release of the attractant. The attractant diffuses out through the polymer shell, quickly luring the cockroaches to the ATTRATHOR Target Zone™.
Controlled-release Active Micro-capsules™; Larger, 35– 55 μm, liquid-core capsules contain the active fipronil. These capsules have a finer polymer shell and, trapped within the liquid fipronil core, are tiny bubbles of CO2.
These pressurise the capsules, ensuring that when the insect makes contact with them, the capsules burst open, releasing the deadly fipronil within. These Micro-capsules control the release of the fipronil to ensure maximum residual performance. The larger size also ensures improved performance on porous surfaces.
Quick Elimination; Within 48 hours there will be a significant reduction in pest numbers.
Attractive Betrayal; Insects are lured to the ATTRATHOR Target Zone™ by the Quick-release Insect Attractant Microcapsules™ where they unknowingly pick up the deadly Controlled-release Active Micro-capsules.
Easy Application; Through traditional spray equipment targeted into cockroach harbourages. ATTRATHOR can partner, or replace gel bait technology.
Kills More Cockroaches; Cockroaches passing over the film pick-up the Active Micro-capsules, loaded with fipronil. When they later socialise, they unknowingly pass the toxicant on. This creates the Viral Transfer Effect™ leading to the kill of more cockroaches.
Performance
ATTRATHOR is unique since it provides both active and passive control of cockroaches.
ACTIVE CONTROL is achieved when the Quick-release Insect Attractant Micro-capsules™ lure the cockroaches to the
ATTRATHOR Target Zone™ where they break the Controlled release Active Micro-capsules™ containing the deadly fipronil.
Due to fipronil’s non-repellent chemistry, with its presence further concealed by the polymer coating of the Micro-capsules, the cockroaches remain totally unaware of the presence of the fipronil. Death occurs through either Contact Action - as the fipronil passes into the cockroach through the cuticle; Stomach Action - as the cockroach grooms itself and breaks or removes the Active Micro-capsules laced with fipronil; or through the Viral Transfer Effect™ - where the cockroaches pass the Active Micro-capsules onto other cockroaches.
PASSIVE CONTROL is achieved through the effects of the liquid film forming a residual defence zone. ATTRATHOR is applied as a targeted surface spray into cockroach harbourages and areas where cockroaches frequent. Here it works like any other residual surface spray, except there is a very big benefit because ATTRATHOR is powered by fipronil’s non-repellent insecticidal chemistry. that protects the fipronil, slowly releasing it over time; providing up to three months of passive control.
Just a few minutes after spraying some ATTRATHOR, the cockroaches arrive from 2 m away to feed - die!
