Why Defender™ MaxGuard is so useful
This spray works in three ways. It kills insects on contact, it has a long residual effect and it is also systemic ie it is absorbed into the plant & will kill insects that feed on it. It is also a low toxicity product that has little effect on many beneficial insects.
How to use
Turn the nozzle to the ON position.
Spray the foliage and stems on both the top and undersides, being sure to spray deeply into the foliage where pests like mealy bugs hide.
