DeltaGard SC is a highly effective, fast-acting contact insecticide used at very low rates to control ants, chinch bugs, cutworm, sod webworm, and ticks in turf. It contains deltamethrin as the active ingredient, a third-generation pyrethroid insecticide.
Deltamethrin’s mode of action is different from organophosphates and carbamates. It impacts the nervous system of insects by altering the solubility of the nerve cell membrane. Unlike cholinesterase inhibitors, deltamethrin does not bind to cholinesterase. DeltaGard SC affects the insect’s transmission of messages sent from the brain by blocking nerve impulses and causing paralysis, which leads to fast knockdown through both contact and ingestion.
