Icon 10WP - Lambda-Cyhalothrin 10% WP - Syngenta
Item description
Syngenta Icon 10WP (Lambda-cyhalothrin 10% WP)
The "Wall-Clinging" Specialist: 3 Months of Mosquito & Cockroach Protection.
Icon 10WP is a professional-grade Wettable Powder designed for Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS). Unlike liquid sprays that soak into cement or mud walls and become useless, Icon 10WP stays on the surface as a microscopic powder. When mosquitoes or cockroaches sit on the wall, they pick up the powder and die. It provides a lethal shield for up to 10-12 weeks.
Best For: Mosquitoes (Malaria/Dengue Vectors), Cockroaches, and Houseflies on rough/porous surfaces.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ? Works on Rough Walls: Perfect for unpainted cement, brick, or lime-washed walls where other sprays fail. The powder stays on top to kill bugs.
- ⏳ 12 Weeks Protection: One application lasts for 3 months. It kills mosquitoes that rest on walls after biting, breaking the disease cycle.
- ? Flushing Action: It irritates cockroaches hiding in cracks, forcing them to come out and die.
- ? Economical Sachet: The 125g sachet makes 20 Liters of spray solution, enough to cover a large house or small godown (approx. 5000 sq. ft. wall area).
- ? WHO Approved: Recommended by the World Health Organization for Malaria and Dengue control programs globally.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Icon 10WP acts like a landmine for insects:
- Surface Deposit: The water evaporates, leaving microscopic particles of poison stuck to the wall surface.
- Contact: When a mosquito or roach walks on the wall, the particles stick to its legs.
- Nerve Attack: The chemical enters the insect and causes rapid nerve firing (tremors).
- Knockdown: The insect loses coordination, falls down, and dies within minutes to hours.

minutes.

*Coverage: This 20L solution covers approx. 500 sq. meters (roughly 5,000 sq. ft.) of wall surface.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Nozzle Type: Use a Flat Fan Nozzle to create a uniform coating on the wall. Do not use a mist nozzle.
- Technique: Spray in vertical bands from roof to floor. Wet the wall just enough so it doesn't drip (point of run-off).
- Safety: Remove all food, water, and pets (especially fish tanks) from the room before spraying.
- Post-Spray: Close the room for 1 hour. Ventilate for 30 minutes before entering. Do not wash the walls or you will remove the poison.

facial tingling (paresthesia). Always wear a mask and
gloves.
