INDICATIONS
A unique product / first of its kind to combine insecticidal and disinfection properties for the safe and effective treatment of hutches, cages and enclosures to prevent flystrike in rabbits and guinea pigs in the UK.  This product will eliminate the need for separate products while reducing fly attraction and ensuring a hygienic environment. Especially suitable for exotic animals being kept outdoors, in rural areas, for long-haired pets and pets with diseases which don’t allow for proper grooming.

A hard surface disinfectant for animal housing, effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses, spores and in repelling and eliminating insects such as blow flies, biting flies, fleas, midges, mites, mosquitoes and ticks.  Also for use outdoors on refuse and refuse tips.  Not for use on pet bedding.  Good residual effectiveness was also demonstrated across the disinfecting and insecticidal spectrums.

ANTIMICROBIAL ACTION
The antimicrobial action is based upon the core actives of the F10 compound used in other F10 antiseptic and disinfectant products. At the concentrations in the product F10 has been assessed as giving a > log5 (100,000 times) reduction in microbial counts against gram positive and gram-negative bacteria, and > log4 (10,000 times) reduction in, fungi, yeast and moulds. F10 has proven virucidal effectiveness against both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.

INSECTICIDAL ACTION
The insecticidal action is based upon cypermethrin (a pyrethroid). In the testing phases the indicator species used was the blow fly (Lucilia cuprina). Upon contact with the product, the larvae immediately began to migrate from the test site and within 30 minutes were dead. Other tests on L. cuprina eggs resulted in a 100% kill. The product was equally effective against adult flies and showed a 77% kill in 15 minutes rising to 100% within 30 minutes.

Cypermethrin is a broad spectrum insecticide and is effective against other insects, e.g. biting flies, fleas, midges, mosquitoes and ticks.

RESIDUAL ACTION
Laboratory test showed the product was 100% effective at 5 days however during field trials which extended over two summer rainfall seasons residual action in some applications extended well beyond 2 weeks.

The product is water soluble and can be rinsed clear with water or alternatively will need repeat applications when exposed to rain water.
