"Kleschevit Super" is another product with a highly targeted effect and is used to combat ixodid ticks. This product is sold in 100-gram plastic bottles. Its active ingredient is cypermethrin at a concentration of 25%.
Purpose and mechanism of operation
This product helps get rid of a variety of pests, including spider mites, aphids, leaf rollers, Colorado potato beetles, and weevils. It also effectively kills cabbage moths, scale insects, cabbage whites, and other parasites.
The active ingredient in this product belongs to the avermectin category. This product is classified as a biological pesticide and helps reduce the likelihood of toxic substance accumulation in plant tissue.
Aversectin C has an intestinal-contact effect. It simultaneously affects parasites through the digestive tract and the outer skin. When a tick comes into contact with a treated plant, it absorbs the toxic substance, which lingers on its body and is then ingested. Over time, the substance spreads throughout the plant tissue, delivering further doses of the toxin to the parasite. This accelerates its death.
The active ingredient in the product negatively affects ticks. It suppresses their nervous system. This initially leads to paralysis and then death of the parasite. Six to eight hours after treatment, the pests lose the ability to feed. After three to four days, they begin to die.
Kleschevit can be used to protect a wide variety of crops. It can be used on peppers, cucumbers, and eggplants. It can also be used to spray tomatoes, apple trees, and various types of currants. It can also be used to treat indoor plants against spider mites.
