Thumper Insecticide is a highly effective solution for insect control, specifically designed for turf. It features a liquid Micro Emulsion formulation, containing 20 g/L abamectin. Abamectin is a member of the Group 6 Insecticides, and Thumper Insecticide was the first turf-registered insecticide in this grouping.
Upon application, Thumper Insecticide readily penetrates leaf tissues, and its translaminar activity offers locally systemic action, ensuring extended residual control of mites feeding on both the upper and lower surfaces of leaves. The formulation is designed to minimise UV breakdown and offers low smell effect, making it ideal for public areas.
Following application, Thumper Insecticide is rapidly absorbed by leaves, where it remains for several weeks. The product is taken up by sucking mites, and its active ingredient, Abamectin, affects the nervous system of the pests. Within a few hours of exposure, the mites stop feeding and become irreversibly paralysed, causing no further damage to the plant. Death typically occurs within 7 - 10 days.
Overall, Thumper Insecticide is a reliable and efficient solution for controlling insect populations on turf, offering excellent residual control and minimising damage to the plant.
