ACTO Powder: The radical solution for buried wasp and hornet nests

The discovery of a nest of biting insects in your garden is a situation that requires a precise and safe intervention. The powder ACTO Special Buried Nests has been formulated to specifically address the problem of colonies hidden in the ground or in crevices that are difficult to access. This insecticide treatment targets wasps and hornets where conventional sprays struggle to penetrate. Thanks to its volatile texture and persistence, it allows the colony to be eliminated from the inside, thus guaranteeing renewed safety for garden users and passageways.

A shock formulation for complete eradication

The secret of the effectiveness of this product lies in a combination of two complementary active substances: Cypermethrin and d-Tetramethrin. This mixture offers an immediate shock effect on contact while ensuring a residual action that lasts for 4 weeks. The insecticidal powder acts systemically on the colony: the insects impregnate themselves with the product when entering or leaving the nest and gradually contaminate all the limbs, including the larvae. This method guarantees total elimination, without leaving a chance of survival for individuals hidden deep down.

Easy application by the blower bottle

The packaging in a 400 g blower bottle has been designed for optimal dispersion without direct contact with insects. The applicator tip allows the powder to be precisely sprayed directly at the entrance of underground galleries or cracks. For successful implementation, simply remove the cap, cut off the tip of the cone and squeeze the vial in regular pulses from a distance of 15 to 20 cm. This projection ensures an excellent dispersion of the powder inside the nest, covering the obligatory insect passage surfaces.

Intervention strategy: advice from the expert

To ensure total success and minimize the risk of bites, the timing of the operation is crucial. It is imperative to treat at dusk or at dawn. At these times, there is almost no activity and the entire colony is grouped inside the nest. Treating during the day, when many individuals are outside, would compromise complete eradication. For optimal results, it is advisable to use about half a vial for a standard wasp nest and dedicate the entire vial to the removal of a larger and more complex hornet nest.

Safety and environmental precautions

The use of a TP18 biocide requires absolute rigour in terms of safety. The treated area should be closed to children and pets for the 12 to 48 hours necessary for the full action of the product. It is also recommended not to apply the powder to plants and to avoid contact with the skin or eyes. Because it is highly toxic to aquatic organisms, this product should never be released into the environment. After the operation, keep the bottle tightly recorked away from humidity to preserve the properties of the powder.

A guaranteed result in record time

Thanks to its lightning mode of action, the nest is generally considered to be completely eliminated within 12 to 48 hours after spraying. Unlike liquid methods that can flow without reaching all the chambers of the nest, the powder remains suspended and adheres to the insects' walls and bodies. It is the most suitable solution for nests buried under lawns, in embankments or under terraces, where the accesses are often narrow and crooked. With the 400 g canister, you have enough reserve to treat several nests or ensure a mass removal of a hornet colony.
