Icon 10CS Mosquito Insecticide 62.5ml Indoor Residual Spray for Long-Lasting Protection

Icon 10CS is a trusted indoor residual spray (IRS) insecticide used for long-term control of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. Manufactured by Syngenta, this professional-grade solution contains 10 percent lambda-cyhalothrin in a microencapsulated suspension (CS) formulation. It is widely recommended by public health organizations and is commonly used in homes, hospitals, hotels, institutions, and national malaria control programs.

The advanced encapsulation technology enables slow release of the active ingredient, providing prolonged protection for up to 12 months on treated surfaces. It kills mosquitoes on contact and has proven effectiveness against other pests such as cockroaches, fleas, and bed bugs.

Case Study 1 – County Health Campaign in Kakamega

Background: The County Health Department of Kakamega partnered with local NGOs to roll out a malaria control campaign targeting villages near forest zones.

Problem: High mosquito density and malaria cases, especially among children under 5 and pregnant mothers.

Solution: Indoor spraying using Icon 10CS across 900 households. Teams were trained to apply it to all sleeping quarters, health posts, and classrooms.

Results: Malaria prevalence dropped from 19 percent to 6 percent in three months. Follow-up entomological studies confirmed over 95 percent knockdown of mosquitoes in sprayed areas. Residents appreciated the reduced need for bed nets and frequent repellent use.

Case Study 2 – Commercial Hotel in Nairobi

Background: A 40-room boutique hotel in Kilimani faced recurring mosquito complaints, especially in their garden-facing rooms.

Problem: Negative reviews on online platforms due to insect bites, despite air conditioning and net installations.

Solution: Hotel management consulted Totalease Pest Control and selected Icon 10CS for a quarterly IRS program.

Results: Zero mosquito complaints within 48 hours of the first application. Room occupancy improved, and positive guest reviews highlighted the mosquito-free comfort. The hotel now includes IRS treatment in its monthly maintenance routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Icon 10CS approved in Kenya?
Yes. It is registered and approved by the Pest Control Products Board (PCPB) for public health use.

It targets adult mosquitoes and other insects, but its residual effect helps eliminate emerging adults over time. For egg control, use in combination with larvicides.

Can I apply it myself?
Yes. It is suitable for DIY use, provided you follow dilution and spray instructions correctly. We recommend gloves and a mask during application.

Does it work on cockroaches too?
Yes. Icon 10CS is highly effective against cockroaches, ants, and other crawling pests when sprayed directly into hiding zones.
