Venom Professional 240SC Insecticide VENOM-240 ADAMA

Description

Venom Professional 240SC Insecticide from Adama Australia Pty Limited contains 240 g/L bifenthrin in a low odour suspension concentrate. It controls ants, cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, flies, biting midges and papernest wasps in and around buildings. As a result, pest controllers get one product for general pest work, termite barriers and turf.

In addition, it protects ornamentals and turf from caterpillars, two-spotted mite, whitefly, lawn armyworm and African black beetle. Adama formulated the product with a high loading, so it delivers long residual control at lower application rates. It has also superseded Venom Professional 100SC, so always follow the 240SC label rates.

Product highlights

  • Active constituent: 240 g/L bifenthrin (Group 3A insecticide)
  • Formulation: low odour suspension concentrate
  • Registered situations: buildings, turf and ornamentals
  • Expected termite protection: at least 10 years at 415 mL/100 L, south of the Tropic of Capricorn
  • General pest rates: 10 to 40 mL per 10 L of water
  • Pack size: 10 L

How Venom Professional 240SC Insecticide works

Bifenthrin disrupts the insect nervous system. It interferes with nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis and death. Pests die on contact with the spray, and they also pick up the active ingredient as they cross treated surfaces. As a result, one application gives knockdown and residual control.

Where and how to use it

Do not use Venom Professional 240SC at less than label rates, because rates vary by pest and situation. Termite work requires a pest control operator licensed under state legislation. Furthermore, the operator must follow the Australian Standard AS 3660 series. For general pests, apply a coarse spray to cracks, crevices and other hiding places. However, do not use it as a space spray. Additionally, mix the product in water and maintain agitation during mixing and application.

Frequently asked questions

Q. Does Venom Professional 240SC replace Venom Professional 100SC?

A. Yes, Venom Professional 240SC has superseded the 100SC product. It carries a higher loading of bifenthrin than the older formulation. Therefore, always use the rates on the 240SC label, not the 100SC rates.

Q. Can I use Venom Professional 240SC inside the house?

A. Yes, the label covers internal and external areas of domestic, commercial, public and industrial buildings. Apply a coarse spray to cracks, crevices and other hiding places. However, do not use it as a space spray.

Q. What precautions apply around pets and bees?

A. Remove pets and animals before you spray, and keep them away until the area dries. The product is dangerous to bees, so do not spray flowering plants while bees forage. Instead, spray at night or in the early morning.

Q. Does Venom Professional 240SC control red imported fire ants?

A. No, the label claim for ants excludes red imported fire ants. However, APVMA minor use permit PER14317 sets separate conditions for fire ant use of 240 g/L bifenthrin products. Read the permit conditions before any fire ant treatment.

Q. How do I apply Venom Professional 240SC to lawn pests?

A. For lawn armyworm, apply 5 mL per 100 m² in at least 2 L of water. Afterwards, irrigate with up to 4 mm of water. Also, apply after mowing to limit insecticide loss in clippings.

Critical comments

  1. Apply at first sign of pest infestation and before pest populations build up to damaging levels.
  2. Best results come from preventative rather than curative applications.
  3. On ornamentals, spray to run off and cover both leaf surfaces.
  4. On turf, use a minimum total volume of at least 200 L/ha (2 L/100 m²).
  5. To ensure optimum control in turf, irrigate the treated area with up to 4 mm of water soon after application.
  6. Apply to turf after mowing to minimise loss of insecticide in clippings.
  7. For ants in turf, apply to areas where ants are active and, where possible, spray directly into the nests.
  8. On non-porous surfaces, apply a coarse spray at 1 L of solution per 20 m². On porous surfaces, apply 1 L of solution per 10 m². Do not exceed the point of run-off.
  9. Use the higher rate when pest pressure is high, or when rapid knockdown and maximum residual protection are needed.
  10. Do not use as a space spray.
  11. For termite barriers, form a continuous barrier with no gaps, in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 3660 series.
  12. Refer to the product label for the complete directions for use, including termite Tables A and B.
