Certis DES-X - Insecticidal Soap Concentrate

DES-X® | Insecticidal Soap Concentrate for Contact Pest Control

DES-X® is a potent insecticidal soap concentrate that provides rapid elimination of soft-bodied insects and mites through direct contact action. Formulated with potassium salts of fatty acids, this product effectively controls a broad spectrum of pests while also serving as a deer repellent. The specialized formula breaks down the protective waxes on insect cuticles, penetrates the pest body, and disrupts cell membranes, leading to quick mortality.

Ideal for organic production and conventional IPM programs, DES-X® offers a non-specific mode of action that makes it valuable for resistance management. Its contact-based activity ensures effective pest control without leaving harmful residues, supporting sustainable crop protection practices.
