What pests are targeted by Acephate insecticides?

Acephate is most effective on turf, tree, and ornamental pests. Also control ants (including imported fire ants), cockroaches, crickets, firebrats earwigs, pillbugs, sowbugs, pantry pests, and wasps.

 

How does Acephate work to kill insects?

Organophosphate insecticides, like Acephate, work by interrupting the electrochemical processes that nerves use to communicate with muscles and with other nerves. This causes a build-up in the chemical acetylocholine. Eventually, the build-up of acetylocholine in the muscles causes over-stimulation, resulting in paralysis and death.

  • Orthene PCO Pellets
    Excellent insect control on turf, tree and ornamentals.
  • Orthene Aerosol
    powerful and versatile crack and crevice tool for control of a wide range of pests
  • Acephate 75 SP
    Acephate 75 SP may be used in a variety of exterior settings include fields and pastures, recreational turf, residential and landscaped turf, and food-bearing plants and trees for superior control of fire ants and other agricultural pests.
