Victor Super Insecticide (Imidacloprid 30.5% SC)
The Ultimate Odorless Termite & Sucking Pest Controller
Protect your home and crops with Victor Super, the advanced Imidacloprid 30.5% SC formulation by Insecticides (India) Limited. Unlike old-school sprays that smell bad and only repel pests, Victor Super is an odorless, non-repellent solution. It creates a silent, deadly barrier that termites cannot detect, ensuring they carry the active ingredient back to their colony for total elimination.
Best For: Pre-construction and post-construction termite control, and managing sucking pests in Cotton, Rice, and Sugarcane.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
The "Domino Effect": Unlike repellent sprays, termites don't know they are infected. They return to the nest, spreading the chemical to the Queen and colony for complete control.
-
🛡️
Gap-Free Barrier: Features "Lateral Soil Movement" technology. The liquid spreads sideways in the soil, connecting treated zones so termites cannot find gaps to sneak through.
-
⏳
Odorless Comfort: A water-based Suspension Concentrate (SC) with no harsh solvents. You don't need to leave your house for days due to bad chemical smells.
-
🌧️
Systemic Plant Protection: For crops, it is absorbed by the roots and moves up the plant. Even pests hiding under leaves die when they suck the sap.
-
🌿
Cost-Effective Concentration: High power in a small bottle. 60ml of Victor Super does the work of 100ml of older formulations, saving you money on logistics and storage.
Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action
- Systemic Absorption (Crops): When sprayed, the plant drinks the chemical. It travels up the stem to the leaves, turning the plant juices toxic to bugs.
- Central Nervous Attack: It targets the insect's nervous system (nACh receptors). It forces the nerves to fire continuously, leading to paralysis and death.
- Social Transfer (Termites): For termites, it works slowly. An infected termite stays alive long enough to return to the nest, grooming others and feeding the Queen, wiping out the whole colony.

Target Crops & Pests
| Crop / Area | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Buildings (Pre & Post Construction) | Subterranean Termites (Odontotermes obesus) |
| Cotton & Vegetables | Aphids, Jassids (Leaf Hoppers), Thrips |
| Paddy (Rice) | Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH) |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. For termites, precision in dilution is key.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop/Use | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Termites (Civil Construction) | N/A | Saturate Soil | 2.1 ml | N/A |
| Cotton | 24 - 30 ml | 200 L | ~0.15 ml | 40 |
| Paddy (Rice) | 24 - 30 ml | 200 L | ~0.15 ml | 37 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing (Crops): Apply when you first see the pests (Economic Threshold Level). For bees safety, spray in the evening when bees are not active.
- Mixing (Termites): Dilute exactly 2.1 ml of Victor Super in 1 Litre of water. Do not under-dose, or the barrier will fail.
- Coverage (Construction): Drill holes 12mm wide at 30cm (1 foot) intervals. Inject 1 Litre of mixture per hole or until the soil refuses to take more. The chemicals must link up underground.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not use near fish ponds.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. Victor Super is a Suspension Concentrate (SC) formula that is virtually odorless. It is perfect for use in inhabited homes, hospitals, and offices.
2. How is Victor Super better than Victor 17.8 SL?
Victor Super is nearly double the concentration (30.5%). It has better soil binding properties for termite barriers and requires less volume to carry and store.
3. Can I use this for wood borer treatment?
Yes. You can inject the diluted solution directly into infected woodwork to kill termites eating from the inside.
4. Is it safe for pets and children?
Once the treated surface is dry, it is relatively safe. However, during application, keep pets and children away. There is no specific antidote, so avoid ingestion.
5. How long does the termite protection last?
When applied correctly (proper trenching or drilling with lateral spread), the barrier provides long-term protection, often lasting several years depending on soil conditions.
