How does Wondercide work to kill and repel insects?
To put it simply, all insects breathe through their bodies. The aroma of cedar oil to insects is like the smell of ammonia to humans. It causes a flight response. The insect closes its breathing pores and if escape is not possible, it suffocates & dies. In addition, most Wondercide products kill insects and parasites ON CONTACT(roaches take a few seconds because their exoskeleton is much thicker). All Wondercide products eliminate the adult, egg, larvae and pupae stages, which is the ultimate control of any insect population. The aroma works to repel insects and venomous snakes for certain amounts of time, depending on the product and use.
