Bestox PC50 Insecticide
Bestox PC50 is a fast knockdown , broad spectrum, surface residual synthetic pyret
hroid insecticide. Bestox works in three ways. It works as a contact spray when sprayed directly on the pest. It works as a stomach poison when pests ingest treated material, and it works as a residual spray when pests come into contact with previously treated surfaces.
Bestox PC50 gives rapid knockdown of insect pests and can be used as a stand alone spray or as a tank mix with Biflex SC formulations. It is particularly effective as a flushing and knockdown agent making it excellent for quick results on cockroach species.
