Elena: “The drug is relatively inexpensive and effective, it suits many vegetable growers. I always buy Colorado when I spot the Colorado potato beetle on the bushes. Helps get rid of insects in just 2 days. In the first few treatments, I carefully measured the dose, diluted it strictly according to the instructions. Now, when I already know everything by sight, I do it without much difficulty. Summer residents and the manufacturer advise not to spray the bushes again. But we do it anyway.Since the remedy ceases to work after 3 weeks, and immediately Colorado beetles fly from neighboring areas and everything starts again. Therefore, we decided to process a second time. And we avoided the problem of insect reappearance. I definitely advise everyone, the effect is persistent, insects fight on the spot. "
