INSECTAPE Insecticidal Strips/Patches utilize the active ingredient propoxur (BAYGON®) as a toxicant/repellent to prevent insect infestations in telecommunications, utility, traffic control, and other types of sensitive equipment susceptible to insect caused malfunction. The product has two useful effects: 1) when applied inside enclosed spaces such as equipment boxes or cabinets, it has a repellent effect on most pest insect species that deters them from entering; 2) if insects enter anyway, they pick up enough toxicant to kill them when they to come in contact with the product as a result of their search behavior. In use, the controlled-release action of the product allows continuous release of fresh toxicant for a full year or more, depending on actual use conditions, providing cost-effective insect control to prevent insect caused malfunctions and equipment servicing problems.
