Elanco™ Agita®
10 WG Insecticide - 2.2 lbs
Agita 10 WG
from Elanco is a cutting-edge insecticide designed for use in poultry houses
and various farm animal housing. It effectively controls darkling beetles and
house flies through its dual-action formula, which combines contact and stomach
modes of action to deliver a lethal dose of the active ingredient. The
product’s dual attractants lure both male and female house flies.
Agita 10 WG is
a dust-free, water-soluble granular insecticide used around the exterior
perimeter of animal housing. It should be applied as a spot spray using a
standard liquid spray applicator. Ensure the product is only used in areas
inaccessible to children, pets, domestic animals, or wildlife. Avoid applying
it where animals might lick the product and do not apply it directly to livestock
feed.
