How It Works: 

Surefire Spectrum 200 SC is a concentrated systemic insecticide that targets sucking insects.  Systemic insecticides are soluble enough in the water that they can be absorbed by a plant and moved around in its tissues.  The Imidacloprid is absorbed through the foliage and moves throughout the plant to control insect pests. Imidacloprid 200SC can be applied via various application methods including Foliar Spray, Soil Drench & Stem Injection (refer to label).

As a Termiticide:
Surefire Spectrum 200 SC is a non-repellent application that binds readily to the soil.  It can’t be detected by the termites, greatly assisting with colony control & elimination and is easily applied with your existing treatment equipment.

Surefire Spectrum 200SC is unbeatable value when compared to other non-repellent termiticides & other liquid termiticides.

Surefire Spectrum 200SC Insecticide is registered for 5 years of protection.
