- MODE OF ACTION: Glutamate-gated chloride channel allosteric modulator. Abamectin blocks the neurotransmitter g-aminobutyric acid at the neuromuscular junction in insects and mites. It promotes the opening of GABA-gated chloride channels within the insect central nervous system, which allows chlorine ions to flow into the nerve cells resulting in continuous excitation of the central nervous system, paralysis and eventually death.
