Fatty acid variants, derived as industrial by-products, are increasingly used as broad-spectrum insecticidal soaps, offering effective control against a wide range of common insect pests.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies should always be employed alongside their use. Always consult the product label for specific application rates, safety precautions, and potential restrictions.
