The formula is odorless and available in convenient grains, so it is a great option to use when gardeners want silent and fast pest elimination.

How It Works

After the spread of the granules on the soil and the watering in, the active ingredient is dissolved in the water and absorbed by the roots. It flows through the veins of the plant and covers all the leaves and stems. When aphids, whiteflies, or mealybugs feed on the plant, they absorb the insecticide and are halted.

This technique also makes the entire plant safe over an extended period of time, rather than spraying the outside.
