How it Works
Allectus targets pests with a combination of imidacloprid and bifenthrin, two of the most powerful insecticides used in the turf and ornamental market. Together, these insecticides prevent the flow of nerve impulses through the insect’s individual nerve cells and from one nerve to the next. The dual mode of action found in Allectus combines the rapid activity of a synthetic pyrethroid with the extended residual control of a neonicotinoid for industry-leading preventative and curative insect control, both above and below ground.
FAQ
Q: Will Allectus increase my insect-control budget?
A: No, Allectus will not increase your current costs for insect control above and below the ground surface. Allectus provides tremendous value, through both its competitive price and labor-saving benefits, which eliminate the extra time and expense of dual applications to achieve the same control.
Q: Which areas of the country will benefit most from Allectus?
A: Allectus is beneficial throughout much of the United States, wherever insects are found both above and below the ground. In the North, the primary pest is grubs with fluctuating above-ground insect pressure. The opposite is true in the South, where surface insects are the primary pests with concern about grubs on the rise.
