Malathion 500g/L EC

Product Overview

Mode of Action: How Malathion Works

Malathion is an organophosphate insecticide that targets the nervous systems of insects:

1. Enzyme Inhibition: Malathion inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme needed to break down acetylcholine.

2. Neuro Overload: Acetylcholine accumulates, overstimulating nerves.

3. Pest Paralysis: Continuous nerve firing causes paralysis and death.

✅ Results: Fast knockdown and long-lasting protection against target pests.
