Characteristics: Avermectins are insecticidal/ miticidal compounds derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis originally discovered in Japan. Avermectin is a natural fermentation product of this bacterium

Use and method of action:

The compounds act as an insecticide by interfering with the nervous system of the insect. This nervous system effect causes the insect to become paralyzed. Avermectin is used to control insect and mite pests of ornamental plants in greenhouses, such as spider Mites and leafminers (Avid brand miticide). It is formulated into an enclosed capsule system for tree injections (Mauget brand Abacide) for control of mites and leafminers of ornamental trees, including the birch leafminer. It is a very common veterinarian medicine for treatment of internal and external parasites and mites of pets and livestock, including scabies. It is formulated into several commercial baits for control of cockroaches (Avert brand cockroach bait) and ants, including an effective formulation for the control of carpenter ants (Advance brand carpenter ant bait). Avermectin is widely prescribed by medical practitioners world-wide to treat parasitic infestations in humans.
