Item description
Victor Super (Imidacloprid 30.5% SC) – Expert Termite & Pest Control
The Odorless, Non-Repellent Solution for Total Structural & Crop Protection
Victor Super by Insecticides (India) Limited is a premium systemic insecticide designed for double-action protection. Whether you are safeguarding your home foundation from subterranean termites or protecting your cotton and paddy crops from sucking pests, this advanced Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation delivers superior results.
Unlike older chemicals that smell bad and leave gaps, Victor Super spreads laterally in the soil to create a seamless, gap-free barrier that termites cannot penetrate.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Gap-Free Protection: Features "Lateral Soil Movement" technology. The liquid spreads horizontally in the soil to connect drill holes, ensuring no untreated "windows" are left for termites to sneak through.
- ?️ Non-Repellent Formula: Termites cannot detect the chemical. They enter the treated zone unknowingly, get infected, and are eliminated, ensuring the colony is suppressed.
- ⏳ Systemic Action: In crops, it is absorbed by roots and moves up the plant stems. Sucking pests die immediately after feeding on the sap, even if they hide under leaves.
- ?️ Odorless & Indoor Friendly: As a water-based SC formulation, it has no harsh solvent smell. It is perfect for applying inside inhabited homes, offices, and hospitals without evacuation.
- ? Cost-Effective Concentration: High concentration (30.5%) means you use less liquid per liter compared to standard 17.8% formulas, saving money on transport and storage.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Victor Super works by targeting the central nervous system of insects, specifically the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors (nAChR).
- Systemic Entry: In crops, the chemical is absorbed by roots/leaves and spreads through the plant. In termites, it enters via contact or grooming.
- Nervous Disruption: It mimics the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, binding permanently to nerve receptors. This keeps the nerve channels open, causing over-excitement.
- Elimination: The insect becomes paralyzed, stops feeding (preventing crop damage immediately), and dies from starvation and energy exhaustion.
Note: For termites, it does not kill instantly. This allows the affected termite to interact with others, helping suppress the population.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop / Area | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Buildings (Pre & Post Construction) | Subterranean Termites |
| Cotton | Jassids, Aphids, Thrips |
| Rice (Paddy) | Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH) |
| Sugarcane | Termites |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results in crops, and the dilution ratio for construction.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop / Use | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Termite Control (Building) | N/A | As required | 2.1 ml | - |
| Cotton | 25 - 30 ml | 200 L | ~0.15 ml | Refer Label |
| Rice (Paddy) | 25 - 30 ml | 200 L | ~0.15 ml | 37 Days |
| Sugarcane | 140 ml | 750 L | ~0.2 ml | 45 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing (Crops): Apply immediately when pests reach the Economic Threshold Level (ETL). Avoid spraying during full bloom to protect honeybees.
- Mixing: Shake the bottle well before use. Add the required quantity of Victor Super to a small amount of water first, mix well, and then add to the main tank.
- Coverage (Termites): For post-construction, drill holes 12mm in diameter at the junction of the wall and floor. Drill holes 30cm (1 foot) apart. Inject fluid until refusal (soil is saturated) then seal.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not use near fish ponds.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Victor Super smell bad?
No. Victor Super is a water-based Suspension Concentrate
(SC). It is virtually odorless, making it an excellent
choice for homes, offices, and hospitals.
2. What is the mixing ratio for termite
control?
The standard ratio is
2.1 ml of Victor Super per 1 Liter of
water. This creates the optimal 0.075% active
ingredient concentration required by Indian Standards.
3. How is Victor Super different from regular Victor
(17.8 SL)?
Victor Super is more
concentrated (30.5% vs 17.8%), so you use less product. It
also uses advanced surfactants for better soil spreading and
lateral movement, which is critical for termite barriers.
4. Will it kill termites instantly?
No, and that is intentional. It kills slowly so that
infected termites can return to the colony and spread
confusion/suppression before dying. This provides better long-term
control than instant killers.
5. Is there an antidote?
No
specific antidote is available. Treatment is symptomatic. In
case of poisoning, seek medical help immediately. Do NOT use
Oximes (2-PAM).
