How does Actara pesticide work?
- Actara has a new, unique and distinctive way of acting, as it affects sites in the system.
- Nerves that other pesticides do not work on, as they stop the chemical nerve connection.
- Between the ends of nerve cells as a result of its effect on the receptors for the substance
- Acetylcholine, which stops the transmission of nerve signals to the insect's body.
