Tekko Pro is an innovative new insect growth regulator from Control Solutions. Tekko Pro prevents fleas and listed cockroaches from developing to egg-laying adults. It provides long-term and effective control of fleas, ticks, flies, roaches, gnats, mosquitoes,crickets, litter beetles, and ants by disrupting the life cycle.
Tekko Pro -Combined Chemistry (Two Modes of Action)
It has a combined chemistry of Pyriproxyfen, a juvenile hormone analog and Novaluron, a chitin synthesis inhibitor for two different modes of actions.
- The Pyriproxyfen prevents the larvae from becoming an adult; stopping reproduction.
- The Novaluron, is another insect growth regulator that targets the laval stages of insects that synthesize chitin. Without the chitin the molting process is effected, making the insect vulnerable to other external pressures for survival.
