Insecticidal action
The insecticidal actions is based upon cypermethrin (a pyrethroid). In the testing phases the indicator species used was Lucilia cuprina, a commonly occurring blow fly species.

The product was equally effective against adult flies resulting in a 77% kill in 15 minutes rising to 100% within 30 minutes. Cypermethrin is a broad spectrum insecticide and is effective against other insects, eg biting flies, fleas, mosquitoes, and ticks.
