Product name: Seizer 100
Some pests need immediate action.
If you’ve noticed spider mites covering the undersides of leaves, aphids gathering on fresh growth or whiteflies taking flight every time the plant is moved, you want an insecticide that starts working as soon as it reaches the pest.
Leaf Shield Houseplant Insecticide (Seizer 100 EC) is a concentrated contact insecticide developed for ornamental plants. Once sprayed onto the foliage, it controls insects that come into contact with the treated surfaces, making it particularly useful for active infestations where quick knockdown is needed.
It’s especially effective against many of the pests indoor plant collectors deal with most often, including red spider mites, aphids and whiteflies. It also controls a range of chewing insects that can damage ornamental plants.
Good spray coverage is the key to getting the best results. The label specifically recommends thoroughly wetting the entire plant, paying particular attention to the undersides of leaves where many pests feed and breed.
Whether you’re treating a single Monstera or a growing indoor plant collection, Seizer 100 EC is an excellent product to have available when pests first appear.
