A neighbor in the country poisoned the Colorado potato beetle using Apache. I was satisfied. I also decided to buy it. I spread it according to the instructions and sprayed the potatoes with a conventional spray gun. Beetles became less after 1.5 hours. A month later, a small number of pests appeared again, so I had to re-process it.

Thus japanese Colorado potato beetle met the expectations of many users. A rather high cost is fully covered by the effectiveness of the drug, and the lack of ability to adapt in pests will allow the use of this insecticide for many more years
