Neporex

Neporex® is a larvicide containing the insect growth regulator (IGR) cyromazine. Ideal for use in a wide variety of production units, Neporex prevents larvae from developing into flies, giving longer lasting fly control and greater impact on total fly populations.

• Treats the problem at source
• Prevents the growth of all larval stages
• Stops biting and sucking flies from reproducing
• Easy to apply by scattering or dissolving then pouring/ spraying
• 20kg of Neporex treats 800m²

Neporex benefits

• Unique mode of action
• Effective against multi-resistant fly strains
• Prevents 100% of larvae developing into flies
• Harmless to beneficial insects, spiders and birds

When to use and why?

• Flies spread diseases and cause production losses
• Adult flies are only 20% of the problem
• Neporex kills the 80% of flies present in manure as larvae
• Use in dairy, calf, poultry and pig units
• Use with adulticides SpY® or Oxyfly® for integrated fly control

Dosage

Application

Dry scattering: Apply NEPOREX 2 SG directly to fly breeding sites. Dry scatter only on wet or liquid manure.

Spraying: Dilute NEPOREX 2 SG as per label and apply to fly breeding sites with a knapsack sprayer or automatic spray equipment.

Watering:  Dilute NEPOREX 2 SG as per label and apply evenly on fly breeding sites with a watering can.

Important: Use only on fly breeding sites – not resting sites - (walls, etc.) as Neporex  has no effect on adult flies.

Treatment interval

Depending on weather, management routines, this can vary from 2-3 weeks up to several months.  Recommendations are given below.

Application schedules

Cattle

• Deep litter: Treat edges and spillage areas around feeders and drinkers and where manure accumulates. In calf hutches placed outside, treat the whole surface body. Apply NEPOREX 2 SG by spraying or watering approximately 3 days after dung removal and repeat treatment after each removal or when fly larvae are found.
• Slatted floor: Treat entire floor area immediately after cleaning out the dung pit, repeat treatment after each removal or when fly larvae are found.

Swine

• All-in, all-out system: Apply NEPOREX 2 SG preferably by scattering immediately after cleaning and prior to the installation of the pigs.
• Slatted floors: Treat entire floor area immediately after cleaning out the dung pit, repeat treatment after each removal or when fly larvae are found.
• Deep litter: Apply NEPOREX 2 SG by spraying or watering approximately 3 days after dung removal and repeat treatment after each removal or when fly larvae are found. Treat entire dung surface and wet spots around feeders and drinkers.

Poultry

• Apply NEPOREX 2 SG by spraying or watering the entire dung area approximately 1 week after manure removal. Repeat treatment after each removal or when fly larvae are found.

Other units

• Apply NEPOREX 2 SG to fly breeding sites after 1-3 days build-up of breeding material. A second treatment should follow 2 weeks later.
