Insecticide "Aktara" refers to preparations of intestinal-contact action, showing activity against the majority of suckers ( aphids , whitefly, bug, zukadka), miner (miner moth) and gnawing (flea, beetle, beaver, scab ) insect pests. Acquired under the action of "Aktara", the pest ceases to drink juices from the plant and dies within 24 hours.

The prepared solution is sprayed with plants damaged by pests, and then carefully ventilate the room. If, for some reason, it is impossible to spray, then the "Aktary" solution watered the soil in flower pots. In this case, the solution is prepared in such a proportion: 1 gram of the preparation per 10 liters of water.
By sucking the roots of the plant, "Aktara" gets into its juice and thus also affects the insects.
