Our products are formulated to offer the best efficacy against target pests. Many of the natural compounds are terpenoids that are formulated to interfere with the homing system, basic metabolic, biochemical, physiological & behavioral functions of insects. Some compounds exhibit central nervous system toxicity causing hyper-excitation of nerves & muscles, whereas other compounds destroy the wax coating of the insect's respiratory system. Some of the compounds are pheromones that alarm living insects indicating danger, prompting them to avoid others who have succumbed to disease or places where predators lurk.
