Product withdrawal: Pybuthrin 33 to be removed from the market

PRESS RELEASE

The COPR registration of Pybuthrin 33 (HSE 5106) will expire on 1 February 2025, and Envu will no longer support this registration through GB BPR.

Therefore, the phase-out dates (corrected by Envu on 27/11/24) are as follows:

  • Sold by date – 31 July 2025 (product can no longer be purchased after this date)
  • Use by date – 27 January 2026 (product can no longer be used after this date).

Pybuthrin 33 is currently registered for use against a variety of stored product insects, cockroaches, houseflies and mosquitoes.

As an alternative, AquaPy (HSE 5799) will remain available, and the registration defended through GB BPR process. AquaPy is a virtually odourless, non-flammable, water-based insecticide that contains natural pyrethrum and is synergised with piperonyl butoxide.

This combination gives it the flexibility in where and how it can be used. FFAST™ technology enhances the ULV application. Therefore, less product is used, minimising product usage and pesticides entering the environment.

Envu commented, "The withdrawal of a product is something we work very hard to avoid. We continue to defend our product registrations and remain committed to constant innovation and new product development to ensure our customers have the best possible solutions to help them protect public health."
