เอราท็อกซ์ ยากำจัดแมลงใต้ดิน ปลวก หนอนเจาะโคน

Ever notice a plant you have cared for suddenly wilting, with holes near the base, and only after digging into the soil do you find something hiding down there? Today 'PAMA The Gardener' introduces Eratox, a granular insecticide with prothiofos as its active ingredient, in a 5 gram pack. It helps you deal with termites, flea beetles, stem borer larvae and soil insects before the roots are damaged beyond saving.

Soil pests, the silent enemy plant growers often cannot see

One of the most frustrating problems for plant growers is the enemy living underground. From above you see almost nothing, and by the time you notice, the leaves are pale and the base has already been chewed.

The usual troublemakers in pots and garden beds include termites that nibble roots, flea beetles whose larvae live in the soil, stem borers that bore into the stem at soil level, and several other soil insects. Foliar sprays struggle to reach these spots, so a granular product like Eratox fits the job nicely.

Why Eratox, a granule for garden beds and large pots

Eratox is a granular insecticide with prothiofos as the active ingredient, packed in 5 gram sachets. It is easy to handle with no mixing in water, which suits people who want a simple routine. The difficulty level is medium, so it is not beyond beginners, but you must read the label and follow it every time.

When does it fit?

Plants in garden beds or balconies with termites nibbling around the base
Kitchen vegetables bothered by flea beetles
Plants with holes at the base or that topple easily, suggesting stem borers
Plants that wilt even though the soil is moist, suggesting roots are being eaten

A guide to using and storing Eratox safely

The product data lists sunlight at level 2 out of 5 and water at level 2 out of 5. Here is how I read that in real use.

Light and heat

Store the sachet in the shade, away from direct sun, at around level 2 out of 5
Do not leave it on a sunny balcony ledge, as heat makes storage harder

Water and moisture

Keep the sachet dry and close it tightly after use
After applying around the base, do not flood the pot. Keep the soil moderately moist, around level 2 out of 5

Simple steps for beginners

Read the label on the sachet fully before opening, and use the rate the label specifies
Wear gloves and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards
Sprinkle around the base where you found the problem, not in one heap
Watch the plant over several days. If it does not improve, check the roots and potting mix again

If you have a dog or cat, take a little extra care

The product data says it is not safe for pets, so I want to stress this point. Store the sachet on a high shelf out of reach, apply it while your pets are away from the pots, and keep the treated area off limits until it is safe according to the label. The same rule applies if you have small children.

Tips to keep the problem from coming back

Check the soil weekly by pushing a finger in about 1 inch. If it stays soggy, water less, because wet soil attracts pests
Quarantine a newly bought plant for a while before placing it with the others
Remove dried leaves and plant debris from the soil surface instead of letting them rot in the pot

If you want the plants in your favorite corner to survive and keep growing, products from our shop can be one more layer of protection.
