Hitmen
Description
HITMEN is a broad-spectrum, non-systemic insecticide formulated with high-concentration Deltamethrin 11% w/w. It delivers rapid knockdown and long-lasting control of a wide range of insect pests through contact and ingestion.
Due to its strong adherence to insect cuticles and lipophilic nature, HITMEN effectively disrupts nerve impulse transmission, leading to paralysis and death of target insects.
