About This Product

Mos-N-Roach 100EC is a highly effective emulsifiable concentrate insecticide designed for professional and domestic pest management. It contains 100g/L of Alphacypermethrin, a powerful synthetic pyrethroid known for its quick knockdown, strong residual action, and low application rates. This product delivers exceptional control over a broad spectrum of pests such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, fleas, bedbugs, and ants. Whether used in residential homes, commercial buildings, food processing facilities, or storage units, Mos-N-Roach 100EC provides reliable, fast-acting, and long-lasting protection. This insecticide is widely trusted by pest control operators, institutional cleaners, and property managers across Kenya due to its consistent results and ease of use. It is particularly effective in hot, humid environments where insects thrive and conventional treatments may fail. Active Ingredient and Mode of Action Mos-N-Roach 100EC contains Alphacypermethrin 100 g/L, a synthetic pyrethroid from the Type II category. Alphacypermethrin works by interfering with the insect’s nervous system, specifically by keeping sodium channels open in the axons of nerve cells. This results in a constant transmission of nerve impulses, leading to paralysis and eventual death. Its mode of action is both by contact and ingestion, making it deadly to insects that come into direct contact with treated surfaces or ingest residues from those surfaces. The product remains active for several weeks on non-porous surfaces, ensuring extended control even after the initial spray.
