If Captain jack's deadbug brew is a contact killer, how does it disrupt the metabolic processes within the pest in order to neutralize it? Does is have to do with the pH, polarity, or simply the composition of the compound?
When target pests ingest or simply come into contact with the active ingredient in Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate, Spinosad, it causes rapid excitation of that insect's nervous system. It will then die within one to two days. Spinosad is valued as an active ingredient in part because it has little effect on non-target predatory pests.
