Canada to greenlight Sumitomo’s momfluorothrin

The Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has proposed the approval of Sumitomo’s insecticides momfluorothrin and four end-use products momfluorothrin Flying and Crawling Insect Killer Spray, MGK 29831, MGK 29871 and MGK 29872. Coformulated with either d-phenothrin or piperonyl butoxide, these four products are used for control a variety of insect and spider species found indoors and outdoors at residential locations. 

 

Momfluorothrin Flying and Crawling Insect Killer Spray kills ants, cockroaches, several fly species, several stinging insect species and spiders. MGK 29871 and MGK 29872 are ready-to-use sprays that combine momfluorothrin with d-phenothrin. The combination of these two ais demonstrated improved efficacy against insect pests compared to either active ingredient alone. The Canadian decision is open to public comment until December 1st.
