Features & Benefits

Features

Active Ingredient: lambda-cyhalothrin 9.7%; IRAC Group 3 insecticide; Mode of Action: Sodium channel modulator. Pyrethroids act on sodium channels of the nerve axon membrane. They affect the sodium channel by prolonging sodium ion influx. The excess sodium causes an electrical imbalance and results in the excessive and repetitive firing of the neurons, which disrupts normal nerve impulse transmission and leads to paralysis and ultimately the death of the insect
