It works by disrupting muscle function in target pests, stopping feeding quickly, and causing paralysis and the eventual death of the pest. The FMC Ferterra insecticide offers effective protection in a safe-to-use formula, as it can be used for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, providing various economical and environmental benefits.
