Tiksafa – CY 15ML

Cypermethrin – High CIS Emulsifiable Concentrate

Insect problems can become a serious concern in homes, agricultural settings, and other areas where effective pest control is needed. Tiksafa – CY 15ML, containing Cypermethrin High CIS Emulsifiable Concentrate, is an insecticide formulation designed to help control a range of unwanted insects. Its concentrated formulation allows it to be diluted and applied according to the product label and the intended use.

What is Cypermethrin – High CIS Emulsifiable Concentrate?

Tiksafa – CY 15ML contains Cypermethrin – High CIS, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. Cypermethrin works primarily by affecting the nervous system of susceptible insects, ultimately leading to paralysis and death.

The High CIS formulation is designed to provide effective insect-control activity when used correctly. As an emulsifiable concentrate, the formulation is intended to be mixed with the appropriate amount of water or other approved diluent before application, strictly according to the product label.

Uses of Cypermethrin Emulsifiable Concentrate

Cypermethrin Emulsifiable may be used for controlling susceptible insect pests in applications for which cypermethrin formulations are approved.

Common target pests for cypermethrin-based insecticides can include:

• Cockroaches
• Ants
• Mosquitoes
• Flies
• Termites
• Bed bugs
• Other susceptible crawling and flying insects

Important: The exact pests, application areas, dilution rate, and method of use depend on the registered product label. It should not be used on crops, animals, food-contact surfaces, or other areas unless specifically permitted by the label.

Benefits of CIS Emulsifiable Concentrate

1. Effective insect-control action

Cypermethrin is known for its insecticidal activity against a broad range of susceptible pests.

2. Convenient concentrated formulation

As an emulsifiable concentrate, the product can be diluted as directed before application, making it practical for appropriate pest-control applications.

3. Broad-spectrum activity

Cypermethrin-based formulations can be active against both crawling and flying insects, depending on the pest and approved application.

4. Useful for pest-management programs

When used as part of an appropriate pest-management strategy, cypermethrin can contribute to reducing insect populations and helping maintain cleaner, more hygienic surroundings.

5. Suitable for targeted applications

Following the recommended application method helps deliver the insecticide where pest control is required while avoiding unnecessary exposure.

How Does Cypermethrin Work?

Cypermethrin belongs to the pyrethroid group of insecticides. It acts on the nervous system of insects by interfering with normal nerve-signal transmission, particularly through effects on voltage-gated sodium channels.

This causes abnormal nerve activity, followed by loss of coordination, paralysis, and eventually death of susceptible insects.

How to Use Cypermethrin – High CIS Emulsifiable Concentrate

Because Tiksafa – CY 15ML is a concentrated insecticide formulation, it should not be applied directly unless the product label specifically instructs otherwise.

For safe and effective use:

1. Read the complete product label before application.
2. Use only the recommended dilution rate.
3. Mix the concentrate with the specified amount of water or approved diluent.
4. Use appropriate protective equipment during preparation and application.
5. Apply only to the areas and pests listed on the product label.
6. Keep children, pets, and unprotected individuals away from treated areas as instructed.
7. Do not contaminate food, drinking water, utensils, or animal feed.
8. Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling.

Never increase the concentration in an attempt to obtain faster or stronger results.
