Insecticidal preparation Formitox chalk contains three active ingredients, namely piperonyl, which does not have pesticide effects on its own. However, when added to insecticidal mixtures, typically pyrethrin, pyrethroid, or carbamate insecticides, their effectiveness significantly increases, enabling the achievement of higher non-metabolized systemic concentrations of active insecticide in the target organism for a longer period. The second active ingredient is tetramethrin, a strong synthetic insecticide belonging to the pyrethroid group. The third active ingredient is permethrin, a synthetic organic compound widely used as an insecticide, acaricide, and repellent. It also belongs to the pyrethroid group. It acts as a neurotoxin, affecting the function of neurons by prolonging the activation of sodium channels. It works by contact and ingestion on ticks and mosquitoes, while also exhibiting a strong repellent effect - also on beneficial insects.

Usage and dosage:
FORMITOX chalk is delivered packaged in a plastic bag, from which it must first be taken out. Subsequently, mark the area where unwanted ants are present with a line, just like when writing with "regular" chalk on a board. The ants will then die within approximately 30 minutes after contact with the chalk. This allows for the simple creation of a closed space through which the ants can move from their nest. After use, FORMITOX chalk can be easily wiped away with a cloth, rag, or sponge. Any breaking of the chalk does not reduce its usage and effectiveness.

Active ingredient:
Permethrin, Piperonyl PBO, Tetramethrin.
