Canada to approve some metofluthrin-based mosquito repellents
Mar. 25, 2016
The Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) is proposing full registration for the sale and use of SumiOne Technical Grade, OFF! Mosquito Lamp, OFF! PowerPad Mosquito Lamp 2 and OFF! Mosquito Coils 2, containing the technical grade active ingredient metofluthrin, as an outdoor area repellent for mosquitos.
An evaluation of available scientific information found that, under the approved conditions of use, the product has value and does not present an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment.
Metofluthrin is an active ingredient which belongs to the pyrethroid class of insecticides and is used to repel mosquitoes. OFF! Mosquito Lamp and OFF! PowerPad Mosquito Lamp 2 are domestic outdoor mosquito area repellent devices in which a candle is used to heat and release metofluthrin from an impregnated disk. OFF! Mosquito Coils 2 is an outdoor mosquito area repellent coil which is lit to release metofluthrin. The products can reduce the number of mosquitoes by >85% in the treated area while the products are in use.
The PMRA will accept written comments on this registration proposal before April 29, 2016.
