I am an experienced florist, there are a lot of indoor plants in the house, various harmful insects appear regularly. I used to use many different remedies from them, until I came across Actellik. Everything! Now I don't use anything else! Very quickly saves from almost all pests and does not harm plants. There is a drawback - the smell is pungent and unpleasant, but it does not last long, it quickly disappears. I observe safety measures, so so far there have been no consequences for me and my cat.

Actellic is a very powerful drug! My flowers tortured the spider mites, everyone
I tried to get them out, but NOTHING helped. While I was setting up the experiments, they strewn all the plants for me, even if I cry. A friend advised me to use Aktellik, I bought it out of hopelessness, I was also surprised at the price - well, it costs a penny! I sprayed all the flowers, as expected, and couldn't believe my eyes - the next day the ticks were gone! A week later I processed it again, although it was clear that it was no longer necessary. Only I will use it now!
