How Cypermethrin 0.25% DP Works

Cypermethrin works in two ways at the same time:

1. Contact action  pests die when they touch the dust on plants or soil
2. Stomach action  pests die when they eat treated leaves or grain

The active ingredient blocks sodium channels in the insect's nervous system. This stops nerve signals  pests stop feeding within minutes, become paralysed, and die within hours. The dust also acts as a repellent  new pests avoid treated areas, preventing reinfestation.
