BIOVECTROL® 20EM is a new
concept; environmental and
eco-friendly water emulsifiable
insecticidal formulations based
on a unique active ingredient
Etofenprox®1, a high efficacy
and extremely safe insecticide
and proprietary blends of
certain botanical extracts as
carrier and synergist.
BIOVECTROL® 20EM is
specially designed for effective
control of vectors and pests of
public health importance while
providing added benefits like
disinfecting properties and yet
has remarkably weak toxicity to
mammals.
BIOVECTROL® 20EM has
excellent and broad spectrum
efficacies which offers rapid and
effective control of vectorborne
diseases such as those of
Dengue Hemorrhage Fever,
Yellow Fever, Malaria, Filaria,
Chagas Disease, Encephalitis,
Shigellosis, Trachoma and
other Gastro-entero diseases
carried by aedes mosquitoes,
anopheline mosquitoes,
synanthropic flies, triatomine
bugs, cockroaches, fleas and
ticks; etc.
By virtue of biodegradable and
photodegradable properties of
BIOVECTROL® 20EM, long term
and repeated applications will
not pose any environmental
pollution. |

Features |
|
|
|
The high efficacy is further
enhanced by the synergistic
effect of the formulation. It
is effective against a broad
spectrum of vectors and
pests including mosquitoes,
flies, cockroaches,
triatomine bugs, fleas and
ticks; etc. Furthermore it
has excellent residual effect
on wall surfaces and net
fibers thus providing long
lasting protection. |
|
|
|
|
It provides a safe and
effective method of
protection as it has no
harmful influence to human
and non-target organisms. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vectors that have
developed high resistance
to conventional insecticides
will have no tendency to
show cross-resistance. |
|
|
|
Its anti-viral, anti-fungal
and anti-bacterial
properties as added benefits
to its effectiveness in the
control of vectors and pests
of public health importance,
providing a safe and
hygienic environment. |
|
|
|
Easily accepted by the
community. |
|
|
|
The reduction in larva and
adult vector population
coupled with long lasting
protection (indoor on walls
and net fibers) will
consequently decrease
man-vector contact, thus
promoting a healthier,
hygienic and safer living
environment. |

|
a) Mallard Duck LD50 (Oral) ≥ 2,000 mg/kg
b) Aquatic Animal |
|
|
|
|
|
a) Soil decomposition studies showed that the half-life of BIOVECTROL® 20EM is
approximately 1 ~ 3 weeks in aerobic soils.
b) The leaching test on soils revealed that BIOVECTROL® 20EM was not leached into the
aquatic environment. |
|
|
|
BIOVECTROL® 20EM is thus proven to be both Environmental and Ecological Friendly. |

Application Methods |
|
Dilute BIOVECTROL® 20EM with water and mix homogeneously. The dilution factor and the interval of re-treatment vary depending on the field of application.
Vectors that are mainly exophilic, but tend to feed or rest indoors briefly can be effectively controlled by indoor residual spraying. Examples of indoor residual treatment will be residual spraying to walls, ceilings, undersides of furniture, outside eaves and porch.
For vectors that are strongly exophilic and/or exophagic, those that rest and bite outdoors; exterior spraying should be employed. Exterior space-treatments with cold aerosols are carried out using hand or vehicle mounted ULV equipment.
Other control methods, such as insecticide treated mosquito nets can also be employed. Treating mosquito nets and curtains has also proven to be an effective and long lasting strategy for repelling and killing biting insects. Impregnated bednet also has the controlling effect on malaria parasite development.
When space treatment is applied from outsides, residents should be encouraged to leave windows and doors open during application to aid penetration of the insecticide. There is no side effect on spray-men and the people living in the sprayed areas. |
