Mode of Action
- Pests are killed when they ingest pest control particles. Once particles adhere to the pest’s body, the lethal action begins.
- Dust formulations have a physical and biological mode of action.
- The particles damage the outer protective layer of the membrane:
- Plugging of spiracles
- Perforations of the walls of the trachea and tracheoles
- Separating the hard shell from the soft body
- Absorption of wax, causing dehydration
- Starvation of the larvae
