How Orthene 97 Insecticide Spray Works
Acephate, the primary active ingredient in Orthene 97, delivers powerful insect pest control in two complementary ways. It kills insect pests on contact, and it is also absorbed by the plant to deliver local systemic control. Its effectiveness is not affected by rain, irrigation or sprinklers, so it is an effective solution across a variety of settings and situations. This product is easily applied with a sprayer and provides protection from damaging insects for several weeks.
