Syngenta Icon 10 WP Insecticide - 25g

Syngenta Icon 10 WP Wettable Powder 25g for Public Health Pest Vector Control

Severe infestations of bed bugs, German cockroaches in kitchens, and persistent fleas are notoriously difficult to control because conventional liquid insecticides evaporate rapidly or get absorbed deep into porous concrete and wood, leaving zero protective residual barrier and allowing newly hatched eggs to restart the cycle within days.
Syngenta Icon 10 WP is engineered specifically with ultra-dispersible wettable powder (WP) technology.
Microscopic crystals of the active ingredient remain fixed on treated surfaces—such as concrete walls, coated masonry, and timber joints—forming an impenetrable residual shield that eliminates insects upon contact for months.
The lethality of Icon is powered by Lambda-Cyhalothrin (10%), a world-class synthetic pyrethroid approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) for vector control and public health epidemic prevention programs (including malaria and dengue vectors).
This formulation features dual action: rapid knockdown via contact and ingestion, alongside an active flushing effect that irritates pests hiding deep within structural crevices, forcing cockroaches and bed bugs out into the open to contact the lethal dose.
Whether your goal is permanent bed bug eradication, eliminating cockroaches and fleas in residential corners, protecting hotels and resorts from mosquitoes and midges, or securing desert chalets and farms against venomous scorpions and spiders, Icon 10 WP in its practical 25g pack delivers maximum knock-down efficacy and extended residual control with zero greasy stains or suffocating odors.

Key Features & Advantages of Syngenta Icon 10 WP

1. Superior Retention on Porous Substrates: Fine wettable powder particles sit directly on bare concrete, painted masonry, and unsealed timber rather than absorbing inward, maximizing active surface bio-availability.

2. Odorless & Non-Staining: Disperses cleanly without dense chemical fumes, harsh petroleum odors, or staining, making it safe and comfortable for indoor bedrooms and offices.

3. Broad-Spectrum Knockdown: Highly destructive against crawling insects, flying vectors, and dangerous venomous arthropods.

4. Dual Action (Knockdown + Long Residual): Rapid initial knockdown combined with lasting residual toxicity that eliminates subsequent egg hatches.

5. Vector-Control Certified: Globally recommended for targeted indoor residual spraying (IRS) to combat disease vectors like malaria mosquitoes.

Target Pests

• Bed Bugs & Fleas: Deep harborage in mattress seams, bed frames, floorboards, and behind baseboards or loose wallpaper.

• Cockroaches (All Species): German, American, and Oriental cockroaches in plumbing chases, kitchen recesses, and sub-floor voids.

• Flying Pests: Mosquitoes, houseflies, and drain flies.

• Ants (All Species): Black garden ants, ghost ants, and carpenter ants along foraging trails.

• Venomous & Dangerous Arthropods: Scorpions, spiders, centipedes, and silverfish.

Target Applications & Operating Environments

• Residential Homes & Apartments: Perimeter baseboards, utility voids, under sinks, and behind domestic appliances.

• Hotels, Resorts & Chalets: Proactive guest room treatment, linen storehouses, and corridors for bed bug prevention.

• Hospitals & Medical Facilities: Preventive residual barrier in non-critical perimeter hallways, service rooms, and outdoor waste collection staging points.

• Food Warehouses & Distribution Centers: Exterior perimeter perimeters, non-food storage walls, and around structural pallet lanes (strictly avoiding contact with exposed food).

• Farms & Desert Properties: External perimeter walls, foundation perimeters, window ledges, and doorways to prevent ingress of scorpions and spiders.

Dilution Rates & Preparation (Dosage Guidelines)

• Severe Infestations & Crawling Pests (Bed Bugs, Cockroaches, Fleas, Scorpions):

  • Dilute 12.5g in 2.5 to 5 liters of clean water.

  • Dilute the full 25g pack in 5 to 10 liters of clean water (sufficient to treat approximately 100 to 200 m² of surface area).

• Flying Vectors & Light Infestations (Mosquitoes, Flies, Ants):

  • Dilute 12.5g in 5 liters of clean water.

  • Dilute the full 25g pack in 10 liters of clean water (covers up to 200 m²).

Application Instructions

1. Initial Prep: Fill the manual compression sprayer tank halfway with clean water.

2. Add Product: Open the sachet and pour the required measure of Icon 10 WP into the water.

3. Agitate & Mix: Close the sprayer tank firmly and shake vigorously until the powder is fully dispersed. Add the remaining water to full volume and agitate once more.

4. Targeted Spraying: Apply a coarse, uniform pin-stream or fan spray along pest runways, wall cracks, baseboard perimeters, behind appliances, and around door and window casings.

5. Ventilation Protocol: Keep the treated area closed for 1 hour post-application, followed by thorough ventilation for at least 2 hours before re-entry.
