This insecticide works by stopping the protein synthesis of the bugs. It kills 95% of common insects including whiteflies, aphids, thrips, spidermites, leafrollers, leaf hoppers, gnats, cucumber beetles, bagworms, and all insects in the larvae stage. It also repels the ones it does not kill including ticks, ants, spiders, grasshoppers, mosquitos, flies, and fleas. The greenhouses and gardeners that are already using this insecticide find that it works even when the chemicals they previously used would not kill the bugs. Currently, the greenhouses that have been using this all summer and fall are now only having to spray the perimeter of their buildings. This is because they have no bugs in their greenhouse and spraying the perimeter weekly keeps the bugs from invading.
