In summary, avermectin is a potent insecticide with stomach toxicity and contact effects on mites and insects. Its unique mechanism of action, which inhibits nerve transmission by stimulating the release of GABA, makes it different from general insecticides. Although avermectin does not kill eggs and is slow to kill, it effectively paralyzes and destroys mite adults, nymphs and insect larvae. When used responsibly, it has minimal impact on beneficial insects, making it an invaluable tool in integrated pest management strategies.
