ImidaPro 2 SC Systemic Insecticide contains 21.4% imidacloprid, equivalent to 2 pounds of active ingredient per gallon. It is a systemic insecticide designed for use on labeled turfgrass, landscape ornamentals, fruit and nut trees, and interior plantscapes.
Imidacloprid is absorbed by plant tissues and provides systemic insect control against susceptible pests. Depending on the labeled application site and pest, ImidaPro 2 SC can be applied as a soil treatment, soil drench, or foliar spray.
The product label includes applications for turfgrass and ornamental plants as well as other labeled sites. For turfgrass, the label includes control of several soil-inhabiting pests and suppression of certain surface-feeding pests.

How Imidacloprid Works
Imidacloprid belongs to the neonicotinoid class of insecticides and acts on insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This interferes with normal nerve transmission in susceptible insects.
Because imidacloprid has systemic activity, it can be taken up by plant roots or foliage depending on the application method and transported within the plant.
