Potent ‘fly and die’ insecticide for successful fly control in animal production systems.
Agita stands out from ordinary insecticides:
Agita is no ordinary insecticide. It is an advanced second-generation neonicotinoid, with a unique chemical structure.
Agita is the first, and only, neonicotinoid to possess a chlorothiazole heterocycle and a novel oxadiazinane ring which means Agita exerts a differential effect on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of flies.
This unique chemistry makes Agita stand out from older neonicotinoids such as Imidacloprid.
Unique mode of action delivers potency:
Agita appears to act on different nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, or on different subunits of the same receptors compared to other insecticides in its class.
Agita’s advanced potency is attributed to this different mode of action at the receptor sites.
Attractive and 100% fatal formula:
Agita is a lethal cocktail of an extremely effective contact and stomach poison (thiamethoxam), a fly-attracting sexual pheromone (tricosene) and, because sucking flies are irresistibly attracted to sugary foods, a mixture of lactose and crystalline sugars.
Agita’s bright yellow colour and granulated texture are also both properties known to attract flies.
Unique Agita 1GB bait formulation:
Agita’s bait formulation is innovative and unique.
All the constituent elements in Agita’s formula are evenly distributed in a matrix within the granules.
So, unlike conventional bait formulations, Agita bait continues to attract and kill flies with the same efficiency for as long as the bait lasts.
Agita 10WG paint and spray formulation:
Agita’s dust free granulated 10WG formulation containing 10% thiamethoxam dissolves readily to form a milky broth suspension for easy paint or spray application.
Because Agita is specially formulated for on farm use it can be placed or applied where and how you need it:
Scatter bait Scatter Agita 1GB in areas where flies gather and onto surfaces where flies rest.
Station / tray bait Spread Agita 1GB evenly onto the station or tray avoiding heaps - place in areas where flies gather.
Hang-board bait Lightly moisten one side of a board (or card) with beaten eggs, beer, cola, or starched wallpaper glue and sprinkle Agita 1GB granules onto the tacky surface. When dry, hang boards/cards in areas where flies gather.
Spray-on bait Mix Agita 10WG with water, stir and pour the solution into a pump or compression sprayer and apply immediately onto surfaces where flies gather.
Paint-on bait Mix Agita 10WG with water, stir in to form a broth suspension then apply onto surfaces where flies gather using a paint brush.
