Among preparations containing pyrethroids, the agent has increased activity, is stable due to the active substance, which is located in a 1-isomer molecule, and also because of the release form - microencapsulated suspension.

Insecticide "Vanteks" is able to effectively inhibit gnawing and sucking insects from different orders, and both larvae and adult insects are exposed to its action. In addition to insects, it also destroys ticks.
