Product information
Orthene PCO II Pellets is a professional product and one of the most efficient way to control a large variety of aphids. Orthene PCO was particularly designed to target and have control over the most resistant pests such as the German Cockroach which is among the most insecticide-resistant insect. Based on Acephate as an active substance, the product assures highly effective control of aphids including resistant species. Acephate is an organophosphate that acts upon on targeted insects by contact and ingestion. When aphids eat the substance, their bodies turn into methamidophos, another stronger chemical, carrying the poison among the population and conducting in colony elimination. Acephate and methamidophos affect the nervous system, causing over-activity in the nerves, muscles, or brain.
