Acaricides and insecticides kill pests primarily by targeting their nervous systems or metabolic processes. Acaricides typically disrupt the function of neurotransmitters, leading to paralysis and death in mites and ticks. Insecticides can work through various mechanisms, such as inhibiting enzyme activity, interfering with hormone regulation, or causing muscle spasms. These chemicals can be applied directly or ingested by the pests, effectively reducing their populations and protecting crops.
