How Does Power Gold Work?
Deltamethrin in Power Gold acts on the nervous system of insects. After coming into contact with the pest, it interferes with normal nerve activity, reducing the pest's movement and feeding activity and eventually leading to its death.
It can be particularly useful against pests in their early stages. For better results, spraying at the early stage of infestation is generally recommended.
