Sumiva Concentrate
gives you the POWER OF MORE
Sumiva Concentrate works both indoors and outdoors so you can treat more places saving you time.
As a juvenile hormone mimic, which acts as an insect growth regulator (IGR). It prevents eggs, larvae and nymphs from maturing into reproductive adults. This helps disrupt their growth and development. It can be applied with a non-IGR adulticide to kill existing adult insects while disrupting the growth of further generations of insects.
Also known as NyGuard IGR in Singapore.

The "Total Control" Blueprint: Eradicating Pests with Sumilarv 0.5G
Part 1: Core Mechanism of Action — "Silent Sterilization" at the Genetic Level
The primary strength of Sumilarv lies in its departure from direct chemical toxicity, instead controlling pests by mimicking natural physiological signals.
Non-Lethal Adult Contact: Unlike traditional insecticides that cause immediate death, Sumilarv does not instantly kill flying adult mosquitoes. This allows the adults to act as carriers, transporting trace amounts of the agent back to breeding sites, thereby expanding the control radius.
Developmental Blockade (IGR Dynamics): The active ingredient precisely mimics the "Juvenile Hormone" within the pest. Upon contact, the normal molting process of larvae (such as wrigglers or maggots) is permanently locked, resulting in a failure to pupate or death during the pupation phase.
Multidimensional Sterility Effects:
Egg Non-Hatching: Eggs laid by exposed adults fail to undergo proper embryonic development.
Offspring Deformity: In the rare instances where hatching occurs, the offspring exhibit physiological abnormalities—such as deformed wings and extreme frailty—effectively severing the population's reproductive chain.
Part 3: Strategic Product Advantages — Persistence, Safety, and Resistance Breakthrough
In an era of increasing chemical resistance, Sumilarv offers a critical strategic balance for integrated pest management.
Long Residual Efficacy: The Pyriproxyfen molecule is exceptionally stable. Even at extremely low concentrations (including highly diluted water bodies), it maintains developmental inhibition for up to several months, significantly reducing labor costs associated with frequent reapplication.
Eco-Friendly Formulation:
Targeted Selectivity: Specifically designed to act on insect developmental hormones, it possesses extremely low toxicity to humans, mammals, birds, and fish.
Environmental Safety: At recommended dosages, it has minimal impact on non-target organisms, making it the preferred choice for "green" epidemic prevention.
Resistance Management Tool: For "Super Pests" that have developed high resistance to Pyrethroids or Organophosphates, Sumilarv provides an entirely different mode of action. When used in combination with traditional insecticides, it can break the resistance cycle, restoring the effectiveness of older chemical agents.
Active Ingredient:
Pyriproxyfen 0.5 %
Part 2: Universal Application Scenarios — A Cross-Sector Pest Barrier
The granular formulation of Sumilarv 0.5G provides excellent penetrative power and stability across diverse ecological environments.
Public Health & Mosquito Control: Targeted at various stagnant or slow-moving water bodies (e.g., landscape ponds, urban drainage systems, construction site puddles). It eliminates the risk of urban mosquito-borne diseases like Dengue and Malaria at the source (the aquatic larval stage).
Environmental Hygiene Management: Effectively controls stubborn pests in residential and commercial settings.
Cockroaches: Inhibits otheca (egg case) hatching, solving the problem of recurring infestations.
Fleas: Blocks the transformation of larvae residing in carpets and crevices into biting adults.
Modern Agricultural Protection: Ideal for greenhouses and open-field crops. It targets pests with thick waxy layers or scales (such as Whiteflies and Scale Insects) that traditional pesticides struggle to penetrate, providing long-term protection by disrupting their life cycles.
