An insecticide composition is provided for killing insects comprising a metal sequestering agent and an insecticide. The composition is particularly useful for killing scale insects, particularly Cycad Asian Scale insects that are hosted by plants of the cycad phyta division. Since the scale insect's shell includes calcium, the metal sequestering agent, when combined with an insecticide and/or fungicide, substantially increases the likelihood that the insecticide and/or fungicide will come into contact with the insect and kill the insect.
