- Actelix 500 EC is an organophosphorus insecticide containing 50% (w/v) pirimiphos-methyl. It works by contact and ingestion through inhibiting the cholinesterase enzyme within the insect's nervous system, leading to paralysis and then death. It is characterized by its rapid action and effectiveness against flying insects such as flies and mosquitoes. It is also used efficiently to control mosquito larvae in stagnant water. It is considered a powerful insecticide in public health programs when used correctly. It also gives effective results when the insecticide is distributed uniformly on targeted surfaces or water. Its success depends largely on accurately identifying the location of the infestation and correct application.
