FAQ's of Temephos:


Q: How is Temephos applied for mosquito control in water bodies?

A: Temephos should be directly applied to water bodies such as ponds, drains, and reservoirs where mosquito larvae are present. The recommended dosage for commercial formulations ranges from 1 liter/ha to 2 liters/ha, depending on larval density and formulation type.

Q: What are the main benefits of using Temephos as a larvicide?

A: The primary benefits include effective mosquito larval control, low toxicity to mammals when used as directed, minimal environmental persistence, and compatibility with other larvicides. This makes Temephos an excellent choice for integrated mosquito management programs.

Q: When should Temephos be used for optimal results?

A: Temephos should be used during peak breeding seasons of mosquitoes, typically in warm, humid months or after rainfall, when mosquito larvae are abundant in standing water bodies. Timely application prevents adult mosquito emergence and disease transmission risks.

Q: Where is Temephos most effectively utilized for public health?

A: Temephos is most effective in stagnant or slow-moving water bodies found in urban and rural landscapes, including drains, ditches, ponds, and containers. Its application targets mosquito larval habitats for public health interventions.

Q: What process does Temephos use to eliminate mosquito larvae?

A: Temephos acts by inhibiting the cholinesterase enzyme in pest larvae, causing nervous system disruption and eventual death. It provides controlled release in water to maintain consistent larvicidal activity over a period.

Q: How should Temephos be stored and handled for safety?

A: Store Temephos in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. When handling, always use personal protective equipment as recommended, and follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines to minimize exposure risks.

Q: What is the shelf life of Temephos and how is it packaged?

A: Temephos has a shelf life of two years when stored properly. It is packaged in robust HDPE bottles, pouches, or bags to ensure chemical stability and ease of transportation.
