POMAIS Bifenthrin 10% SC | Agricultural Chemicals Pesticides

Bifenthrin works by disrupting the normal function of nerve cells in insects, causing them to become overstimulated, which leads to paralysis and death. Its long-lasting residual activity makes it a potent insecticide for both immediate and prolonged pest control.

Nervous System Disruption: Bifenthrin affects the voltage-gated sodium channels in the nerve cells of insects. These channels are crucial for the proper transmission of nerve impulses.

Prolonged Sodium Channel Opening: When bifenthrin binds to these sodium channels, it causes them to remain open longer than they normally would. This prolonged opening leads to an influx of sodium ions into the nerve cells.

Excessive Nerve Firing: The continuous influx of sodium ions results in excessive and prolonged firing of the nerves. Normally, nerve cells would quickly return to a resting state after firing, but bifenthrin prevents this from happening.

Paralysis and Death: The overstimulation of the nervous system leads to uncoordinated movements, paralysis, and eventually death of the insect. The insect is unable to control its muscles, leading to respiratory failure and other vital dysfunctions.

Residual Activity: Bifenthrin has a long residual effect, meaning it remains active on treated surfaces for an extended period. This makes it effective not only for immediate pest control but also for ongoing protection against future infestations.
