Insect Control
How it Works:
Minecto Duo contains two active ingredients. Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid insecticide and cyantraniliprole is a diamide
insecticide. Both components have systemic (within the plant) properties and interfere with neuro-transmission in insects.
Mode of action is through contact or ingestion.
