The principle of operation of the product
During spraying, the oil ends up on the plants and hits the pests, forming a thin film. Vaseline oil acts on larvae and eggs, and partly on adult insects. The film greatly disrupts the air and water balance, which is why the pests die within 0.5-1 days. Protection lasts 5-10 days.
