AntagonistPro Residual Insecticide

Tips For Use

Restraints: 

• Do not use in situations where predatory mites are established and provide effective mite control.
• Do not apply if rainfall is expected before spray deposits dry on leaf surfaces.
• Do not apply to mud, sand, mangrove or aquatic habitat.
• Do not apply to soils if excessively wet or immediately after heavy rain to avoid chemical run-off.
• Do not apply as an Ultra Low Volume (ULV) or via thermal fogging treatment.
• Do not apply by aircraft.

Precautions:

• Do not spray into the atmosphere using foggers or other devices designed to create an aerosol.
• Avoid contact of spray with timber to which a stain or other finish is subsequently to be applied unless the owner is notified that the timber will need additional preparation, consistent with that if water alone had contacted the timber. Evidence of water contact on timber is sometimes only evident once the stain has been applied.
• Take care not to allow spray to drift onto windows. 
• Clean the spray deposit using a solvent such as turpentine or kerosene if the spray has dried.
• Do not spray directly on humans, pets or animals. Avoid contact with food, food utensils or preparation surfaces.

Re-entry period:

• Vector control and urban pest management: Allow treated areas to dry completely (normally 3-4 hours) before re-occupying. 
• Worker entry to treated areas should be restricted until the spray has dried. When prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls over normal clothing, buttoned to the neck and wrist, elbow–length PVC, neoprene or nitrile gloves and chemical-resistant footwear. 
• Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.
• Turf and ornamental applications: Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray deposits have dried or been watered in after treatment. 
• When prior entry is necessary, wear suitable protective clothing (i.e. waterproof boots, overalls and gloves). 
• Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

Mixing:

• Before pouring, shake the container vigorously, then add the required quantity of AntagonistPro to water while stirring.
• Do not store diluted insecticide. 
• Prepare a fresh solution as necessary. 
• Do not spray the moving parts of any machinery, electric motors or switchgear with the water-based product.
• The product must be continuously agitated in the spray tank. 
• Use a coarse nozzle size.

• Dangerous to fish and aquatic organisms. 
• Do not contaminate dams, rivers, streams, watercourses or drains with products or used containers. 
• Do not apply to mud, sand, mangrove or aquatic habitats. 
• Drift from treated areas may be hazardous to organisms in adjacent aquatic sites. 
• Extreme caution must be used to avoid aquatic contamination.

Protection Of Honey Bees And Other Insect Pollinators:

• Dangerous to bees. 
• Avoid spraying flowers that attract and harbour bees. 
• Do not spray any plants in flower when bees are foraging.

Protection Of Pets And Livestock:

• Before spraying, remove animals and pets from the areas to be treated. 
• Cover or remove any open food and water containers. 
• Cover or remove fish ponds, aquariums etc., before spraying. 
• Do not allow re-entry until the spray has dried.
