काम करने का तरीका

Bifenthrin belongs to the synthetic pyrethroid group of insecticides. It acts on the voltage-gated sodium channels present in insect nerve membranes and delays their normal closure. This causes prolonged nerve stimulation, loss of coordination and paralysis in susceptible target insects.

Safex Hammer acts through both contact and ingestion. Good spray coverage and application during the susceptible pest stage are therefore important for achieving effective pest management under proper application practices.
