Permoxin Insecticidal Spray and Rinse Concentrate 250ml

Permoxin: Insecticidal Pyrethrin Spray and Rinse

Permoxin is an effective insecticidal spray or rinse formulated to control flies, ticks, and biting insects. It also aids in the management of Queensland Itch.

Composition:
Permethrin (25:75 cis) 40 g/L.

Actions

Permoxin contains a third-generation synthetic pyrethroid, which targets the neuromuscular system of flies and fleas. Unlike natural pyrethrins, pyrethroids like permethrin are more photostable, providing longer-lasting protection. The specific formulation of Permethrin (25:75) is designed to minimize dermal irritation and systemic toxicity, making it one of the safest options among third-generation pyrethroids. Additionally, permethrin has insect repellent properties, helping to treat and prevent insect bite allergies.

Indications

Permoxin is effective against a variety of pests, including:

• Flies: Pyrethroid-sensitive species such as Haematobia irritans exigua and Stomoxys calcitrans on horses.
• Biting Insects: Including Culicoides sp. on horses.
• Fleas: Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis on dogs.
• Flea Allergy Dermatitis: Known as summer eczema in dogs.
• Queensland Itch: Commonly affecting horses.
• Ticks: Including Rhipicephalus sp. and paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus) on dogs.

Contraindications

• Not suitable for use on cats or puppies under 12 weeks of age.
• Permoxin is generally diluted with water however it can be diluted with Methylated spirits, see label for this dilution.  It is very important to  avoid diluting Permoxin with methylated spirits when applying to broken skin as it will sting and irritate.

Precautions

• Prevent contact with the animal’s eyes and mouth.

Directions for Use

2. Application: Apply the solution to a wet coat after shampooing and rinsing, or to a dry coat. Use a sponge to help distribute the product; foaming does not affect efficacy.
