Nuvex Smoke: the only pyrethrum-based smoke insecticide authorized for use in food industries

Within the purview of food operations, insect control stands as an absolute priority to ensure the safety and quality of products. In this context, Nuvex Smoke emerges as a highly effective option, owing to its innovative formulation based on pyrethrum extract, a strong plant-based active ingredient.
Natural power of pyrethrum in insect removal
The pyrethrum, which is extracted from certain chrysanthemum varieties, is known for its broad-spectrum insecticidal properties. Its rapid knockdown effect makes it an ideal choice for combating a wide range of flying and crawling insects, including flies, mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches, beetles, and moths such as weevils, mealworms, grain borers, sawtoothed grain beetles, indian meal moths, mediterranean flour moths, and other arthropods infesting foodstuffs.
The plant-based nature of pyrethrum makes Nuvex Smoke perfectly suitable for application in food industries, offering high efficacy against insects without resorting to chemically derived active substances.
Uniform distribution thanks to Nuvex Smoke’s innovative technology
The formulation of Nuvex Smoke allows uniform distribution of pyrethrum within treated environments, reaching even the most hidden and hard-to-reach corners. This eliminates the need for targeted interventions, ensuring complete coverage and greater effectiveness in insect control.
The technology of this product therefore ensures a rapid dispersion of the active ingredient in the environment, allowing instant effect on the present insects.
Safety and regulatory compliance
Thanks to its pyrethrum-based formulation, Nuvex Smoke adheres to the stringent safety and hygiene standards imposed in the food sector. This smoke insecticide leaves no residues on treated surfaces and does not present significant risks to human health or the surrounding environment.
It is registered with the Ministry of Health as a Medical Device and indicates various fields of application on its label, including the food industry.
