How it Works
All DeltaGard products are general-purpose insecticides that work on contact with the target insects.
Unlike any other pyrethroid, DeltaGard is created of a single, pure active isomer, so 100% of every DeltaGard crystal has a powerful insecticidal effect. This means that users apply less insecticide that contains DeltaGard as its active ingredient to achieve the same effect.

FAQ
Q: Are DeltaGard insecticides economical?
A: DeltaGard insecticides are economical because of their extremely low use rates. Traditionally, many insecticides that required very high application rates were used. Fortunately, because of concerns about the amounts of chemicals used, the demand for low-dose products has increased substantially. DeltaGard GC requires extremely low amounts of the active ingredient deltamethrin, so cost-efficient rates of 0.03 to 0.13 lbs. ai/A can be used to control virtually all surface-feeding insects as well as major sub-surface pests.
Q: What DeltaGard formulations are available for professional use?
A: DeltaGard GC is available in a Suspension Concentate (5SC) formulation for use on golf courses. The suspension concentrate formulation contains pure microcrystals of deltamethrin suspended in water. It is virtually odorless and has a long residual. Also, it leaves no visible residue and will not clog spray systems. DeltaGard is also available on a proprietary new granule form. Several formulators also offer DeltaGard Fertilizer. Contact your local formulator for specific product offerings.
