Insecticides for Use
The following Insecticides can be used in India. Some insecticides can be sold under a brand name therefore check their active ingredient using the list below (Name of the Pesticide).
Do not use the same insecticide again and again as it leads to resistance development among these insects making it difficult to kill later. Use different insecticides (with a different active ingredient) to prevent resistance development so that you can kill them with minimal use of insecticides.
