How Killdan SP Works

Killdan SP acts by interfering with the insect's nervous system. After entering the pest through contact, ingestion, or plant tissues, it blocks nerve signal transmission by binding to receptors in the insect's nervous system. This causes paralysis and ultimately results in the death of the pest. Its systemic movement within the plant ensures long-lasting protection against hidden and active infestations.
