Good job Uncle Buck! This is good stuff. Lowest active ingredient load per acre of all the synthetic pyrethroids. Deltamehtrin is fast & highly active. DeltaGard & Suspend are the commercial versions that I know. Rates as low as .013 lbs active ingredient per ACRE in some cases.

There are many formulations of this active ingredient. Because of it's low mammallian toxicity & very low use rates, it is considered one of the safest insecticides out there. It is broadly used in interior pest control as well as crop use.
