The Power Of Dual-Action: Bifenthrin + Abamectin
Understanding The Ingredients
-
Bifenthrin: A synthetic pyrethroid, Bifenthrin acts both as a contact and stomach poison. Its rapid knockdown effect on insects ensures quick results, making it a preferred choice for immediate pest issues.
-
Abamectin: Derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis, Abamectin disrupts the nervous system of pests. It is particularly effective against small insects and mites, providing a secondary layer of protection when combined with Bifenthrin.
How Do They Work Together?
The combination of these two ingredients creates a synergistic effect, enhancing their individual capabilities. While Bifenthrin offers quick contact kill, Abamectin ensures long-lasting control by attacking the nervous system of pests that may survive initial exposure.
This dual-action approach is vital for managing insect populations effectively and sustainably.
