Mode of Action

• Mode of Entry: Non-systemic granular insecticide acting through direct soil contact, stomach (ingestion) absorption, and strong soil-phase vapor (fumigant) action that penetrates soil crevices.
• Mode of Action: Organophosphate chemistry that inhibits the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme in insect nervous systems, leading to acetylcholine accumulation, continuous nerve impulse transmission, paralysis, and rapid pest mortality.
