Mix Pounce Insecticide

Caterpillar eating crops.


Pounce is a permethrin-based insecticide that works by getting on, or in the target insect: Therefore the spray must come in direct contact with the insect to kill it. It is used on a wide variety of agricultural crops, in livestock areas and in homes to control insect problems. While it is very effective at what it does, it can be highly toxic to aquatic fish and insects as well as birds and bees, so Pounce must be used with caution. Does this Spark an idea?
