A few months back all my Mom's got ravaged. I fed them Azatrol for 21 days and then hit them with
Floramite. No more mite's.
I got this info from BGHydro.
Anti-feedant Activity
Azatrol has primary, secondary and tertiary anti-feedant activity. Azatrol acts on the‘taste’ receptors in the insect’s mouth, stimulating deterrent neurons and inhibiting attractant neurons. The result is that the insects starve or just nibble for survival before they die. Insects which require more specific plant foods are more susceptible to this primary anti-feedant activity.
Azatrol affects the movement of food through the insect’s digestive system. Food stays in the gut so feeding is suppressed. Thus, the secondary anti-feedant activity disrupts normal feeding behavior, also contributing to the starvation of the insect.
The tertiary anti-feedant activity of Azatrol affects digestion through inhibition of digestive enzymes.
What this means to your insect control program: Insects fail to damage plants and ultimately starve to death.
