LORSBAN
stomps both
rootworm and
cutworm, too.
Read the labels of all rootworm insecticides. There's
Just one that's labeled "for the control of cutworm." That
one is Bigfoot Lorsban. Yet surprisingly enough, It costs only
about what you pay for ordinary rootworm insecticides.
Yes Bigfoot LORSBAN 15G Insecticide is unique Unlike other insec
ticides, it provides excellence of control over rootworm while it controls
the growing and spreading menace of cutworm
And neither rootworm nor cutworm has shown any resistance to
Bigfoot Lorsban
Because Bigfoot Lorsban stomps both rootworm and cutworm too.
it kicks your corn yields up
So switch to Bigfoot Lorsban It isn t like anything you ve used before
It s the big insecticide
