Nitenpyram is an insecticide used in agriculture and veterinary medicine to kill insect external parasites of livestock and pets. It is a neoni cotinoid, which means that it is a neurotoxin that blocks the ability for neural messages to transmit through the central nervous system of the flea causing (almost) instant death.

What is function of Nitenpyram 

Nitenpyram is used orally with dogs and cats to control fleas. After ingestion, it begins killing fleas within 30 minutes and kills all adult fleas within 4 hours. The effects of nitenpyram last approximately 24–48 hours. Nitenpyram is safe to use on puppies and kittens as young as four weeks old if they weigh at least 2 pounds (0.91 kg). Panting and excitement have been noted in cats within 2 hours of administration. In heavily infested animals, it can cause extreme itching as the fleas die.

Nitenpyram does not kill insect eggs and has no long-term activity. Thus, it is not effective as a long-term flea preventative. It is usually used to kill nymph and adult fleas quickly on an infested animal, and combined with a longer-term flea preventative like fipronil or lufenuron to prevent reinfestation.

Nitenpyram First Aid Measures

General advice: Consult a physician.

If inhaled. If breathed in, move person into fresh air.

If not breathing, give artificial respiration

In case of skin contact, wash off with soap and plenty of water

In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 min.

If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting.

Usage:

1. Control aphids: Spray evenly with 10% soluble liquid or 10% aqueous solution 2000~3000 times. It can also be irrigated with 10% nitenpyram soluble granule 2000 times solution, which has good control effect on cucumber aphids in greenhouse, and the insect mitigation rate of more than 96% after 10 days. The period of validity can be more than 20 days.

2, prevention and control of Bemisia tabaci, whitefly mites: evenly spray with 10% nitenpyramid soluble liquid agent 2000, can also be watered 10% nitenpyramid water 2000~3000 times solution at the time of planting. For fields with overlapping generations (adults, nymphs, eggs) and high population bases, the control effect is outstanding, and the effective period can be up to 20 days.

3, prevention and control of Hummer: diluted with 3000% of the 10% nitenpyram soluble solution + 5% acetamiprid 2000 times solution evenly sprayed. The control effect is outstanding.

4, control fly cockroaches: the cockroach outbreak period, with 10% nitenpyram 2000 times solution evenly spray, the effect is more than 90%, the effect is significantly better than 30% acetamiprid. The quick-acting effect is very obvious, and the effective period can reach about 15 days.
