Athena IPM is a broad-spectrum insecticide and fungicide that kills many soft-bodied insects and mildew on contact. When used as directed, IPM penetrates plant crevices where unwanted pests seek to colonize. Natural oils deter pests from the plant surface; on contact with pests, Athena IPM dissolves their protective membrane and desiccates (dries out) the pest.

All-in-one Prevention & Cure
Regular applications of Athena® IPM reduce vectors for contamination and control populations if an outbreak occurs.
Kills on contact
On contact with pests, IPM dissolves the pest’s protective membrane and desiccates (dries out) the pest. Pests cannot build up resistance to this mechanical action.
3 Modes of action
1 Smother
- Natural plant oils cover and smother eggs, juveniles and adults by blocking breathing holes.
2 Dessicate
- Dissolves and dries out (desiccates) insect and fungal outer protective membranes.
3 Prevent
- Volatile organic compounds (VOC) in natural oils deter pests from the plant surface.
