Product features
Abamectin belongs to the chemical class of avermectins with a neurotoxin-type mechanism of action: they are a stimulator of the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid, which inhibits the transmission of nerve impulses and causes paralysis in insects and ticks. After spraying with the drug in a day, ticks lose activity, complete death occurs in 2-3 days due to inhibition of nerve impulses and paralysis.
There is a possibility of resistance (tick addiction with frequent treatments). To prevent resistance, it is recommended to alternate with acaricides from other chemical groups that differ in mechanism of action.
Instruction
To get rid of ticks, prepare a solution of vermitek acaricide and thoroughly spray the plants and soil surface in pots.
Due to the high toxicity, one treatment is usually carried out, but if necessary, repeated spraying is possible after 3-4 days, if the temperature is above 25 ° C, after 5-7 days, if cooler. Do not store the prepared solution, ventilate the room after spraying and do not allow the sprayed solution to get on household items or furniture.
Flow rates
Dilute 1 mL of the drug in 1 L of water. This solution should be sufficient to completely wet the entire leaf surface of plants, but the solution is not allowed to flow into the soil. The protective period of vermitec acaricide is 2-3 weeks.

- Vermitec is well tolerated by plants, no burns or spray stains were observed.
- The drug does not destroy beneficial insects.
- Vermitek is simply indispensable if flowers were attacked simultaneously by two types of pests, for example ticks and thrips. In this case, you need to destroy both, Vermitek copes very well.
