How It Works
Clothianidin enters pests through feeding or contact and disrupts their normal nerve signals.
- Contact and feeding: Pests take in clothianidin by eating it or touching it.
- Nerve action: Interferes with the normal transmission of nerve signals.
- Effect on pests: Affects feeding, sucking and egg laying in pests it can control. This does not mean it works on every crop or pest.
Changing brands does not always mean a different way of controlling pests. Follow the label’s guidance to help prevent pests becoming harder to control.
