“In 35 years of pest management I’ve never seen a dust do what
StarrdustPRO does. I was gobsmacked.”
“The team at Sundew asked me to use StarrdustPRO on the
worst, most difficult commercial situation I had on my books.”
“The sheer flushing action of the product was astounding. My
client called it ‘magic dust’.”
“In my opinion StarrdustPRO is the way dusts should have been
made the last 35 years!”

Editor's Notes
1st generations of pyrethroids – tetramethrin, resmethrin, bioallethrin
2nd generations of pyrethroids – permethrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin
1st generations of pyrethroids – tetramethrin, resmethrin, bioallethrin
2nd generations of pyrethroids – permethrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin
It is useful to know that the active ingredients of many synthetic pyrethroids consist in a mixture of various optical isomers, typically those called "cis", and those called "trans". Permethrin has 4 isomers, 2 cis, and 2 trans. Manufacturers of active ingredients usually supply the raw material in standard qualities, for permethrin typically in a 25/75 or 40/60 cis/trans ratio. Typically cis isomers are more effective insecticides. Obviously a cis/trans 40/60 mixture is more potent than a cis/trans 25/75 mixture. Qualities with a higher cis content are usually also more expensive. And the higher the percentage of the most active isomer, the lower the rate that is required for achieving the same efficacy.
