Syngenta Provaunt WDG Insecticide is a highly effective solution for controlling a wide range of pests, particularly on ornamental plants, turf, and certain food crops. Its active ingredient, Indoxacarb, belongs to the oxadiazine class of insecticides and works by disrupting the insect's sodium channels, leading to paralysis and death.
