Description

Zeus Termiticide and Insecticide

Active Ingredient: Bifenthrin @ 100g/L

Zeus Bifenthrin Termiticide And Insecticide is a residual action pesticide featuring an extensive label ranging from Subterranean termites through to common external house pests and extending to control of crop pests on bananas, sugar cane, citrus, tomatoes, stone fruit, canola, Lucerne and wheat.

Zeus Bifenthrin Termiticide And Insecticide is registered for the protection of fence posts and service poles from subterranean termite damage and for the control of termites and a range of other urban pests, and for the control of various insect and mite pests in a variety of crops.

Zeus is a residual insecticide meaning it will continue to kill pests that come in contact with it after it has been applied.

Bifenthrin, the active ingredient used in Zeus is a pyrethroid insecticide.  It is widely used against insect infestations, including invasive ant species by interfering with its nervous system when they eat or touch it. It’s more toxic to insects than it is to people because insects have lower body temperatures and smaller body sizes.  Bifenthrin has high toxicity to aquatic organisms.  Bifenthrin often remains in the soil and has a residual half-life in soil is between 7 days and 8 months, depending on the soil type.

Zeus Termiticide And Insecticide provides excellent control of these household pests:

  • Cockroaches
  • Fleas
  • Spiders
  • Ants (Black Ant, Coastal Brown Ant, Funnel Ant, Meat Ant, Sugar Ant and Stinging Ant)
  • Bed bugs
  • Mosquitoes
  • Houseflies
  • Subterranean Termites
  • Ticks (excluding the paralysis tick Ixodes holocyclus) (Adult & Nymphs)

Zeus Termiticide And Insecticide is registered for use in controlling these crop pests:

  • Banana Weevil Borer
  • Mites
  • Carpophilus Beetle
  • Native Budworm
  • Long-tailed Mealybug
  • Whitefly
  • Fig Longicorn
  • Leaf Eating Weevil
Why choose Zeus Termiticide and Insecticide

    bought 5L of this which is still cheaper than a single years pest control application by Jims and I’ll be able to apply this twice yearly for the next 20 years with how far it goes. As for effectiveness, you can see the line where the spray stopped clearly as theres a row of dead bugs, looks like they just drop dead on contact. Works well for all creepy crawlies!

    Asked by Nick on February 18, 2024 7:09 pm
    Answered by the admin

    Zeus Insecticide only lists the compatible herbicides for tank mixes included with supporting data at the time of the product registration. We would not recommend a tank mix that includes Zeus & Metric as the Zeus requires immediate irrigation after application, so the insecticide ends up in the plant's root zone. This irrigation, though, will wash the metric off the crowsfoot grass, making it ineffective.

    Asked by Alison on February 11, 2024 6:52 pm
    Answered by the admin

    Zeus Termiticide and Insecticide is not registered for use on Roses or for controlling Chili Thrip.  In general, pesticides should not be applied to stressed plants due to weather conditions. For example, applying pesticides should be avoided during the hottest part of a summer day or if a frost is present. Plants are more stressed during the hottest part of the day due to high temperatures, and applying insecticides during this time can exacerbate that stress. This may lead to an increased risk of phytotoxicity (chemical damage to the plants) or reduced efficacy of the treatment. Insects are also often more active during cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or evening. Applying insecticides during these times when insects are active can improve the effectiveness of the treatment.

    The application rate of Surefire Zeus Insecticide in turf to control Lawn Armyworm is to apply evenly 12mL/100m2 (1.2L Zeus/10,000m2). The minimum amount of water applied evenly is 2L per 100m2. The amount of water you mix the Zeus in is up to you, provided you apply the minimum amount over the area you are treating. For example, you can mix 12mL per 10L water and spread evenly over 100m2. For your sprayers, this would be 8.4mL per 7L over 70m2 & 18mL per 15L over 150m2.

    The removal of insect pests from indoor areas can be difficult.  If you are dealing with midge, bed bugs, mites, fleas etc., you could consider complete fumigation of the premises with a 'fumigation bomb'.  We would recommend speaking with a professional pest controller for this option.  The DYI spray options that we would suggest you consider are AntagonistPro Residual Insecticide as an indoor surface spray.  This product is best applied to structures and associated surfaces where insects are present, not on areas such as bedding or mattresses.  BattleaxePro Professional Crack & Crevice Aerosol can be applied to mattresses, bed frames, carpets, skirting boards etc.  We would also suggest washing all linen in a hot wash and drying it in full sunlight, which is also very effective in eliminating certain insect pests.

    Spraying Zeus Termiticide and Insecticide (Bifenthrin) can effectively control mosquitoes outdoors as part of an integrated approach. Bifenthrin is primarily intended for outdoor use. It is suitable for treating mosquito breeding grounds, resting areas, and vegetation where mosquitoes tend to reside (including the deck surface, walls and floors). (1) Proper timing:  Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk. It is generally recommended to spray insecticides during these times for better control. (2) Targeted application: Bifenthrin should be applied to areas where mosquitoes rest or breeds, such as vegetation, shrubs, and other shaded areas. Avoid spraying directly on flowering plants or areas where beneficial insects, such as bees, are active. (3) Follow instructions: Always read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Use the recommended concentration and apply the insecticide according to the specified frequency and dosage. Bifenthrin insecticides will only temporarily control mosquitoes as the chemical will break down from UV exposure and weather factors (i.e. rain, dews etc.). Repeat applications will be required.

    Answered by the admin

    The soil half-life (50% remaining) of Bifenthrin ranged from 106 to 147 days when the soil was exposed to sunlight when tested by the US EPA in 1999.  If being applied to target Lawn Army Worm & Sod Webworms, for optimum control, it is recommended that 4mm of water be irrigated soon after application.  The longer it is left unirrigated, the risk of lower than optimal chemical levels remains to be moved to the root zone where the pests are active.  This may result in substandard control results.  The pests can also continue to cause damage until the insecticide is present in the root zone.

    It is strongly recommended that the 'directions for use' be carefully read before application.  These are available with the product and on the Specialist Sales website in the 'SDS and Technical' tab.

    Zeus Insecticide only has claims to control the following species of ants; Black ant, coastal brown ant, funnel ant, meat ant, sugar ant and stinging ant.  Zeus Insecticide does not claim to control Fire ants.  We recommend looking at Synergy Pro Ant Bait, registered for Fireant control, including Red Imported Fire Ant (Solenopsisinvicta) & Tropical Fire Ant  (Solenopsisgeminata).

    Zeus Insecticide does not specifically have pastures listed on the label as a situation of use but is quite commonly applied in these areas.  The Withholding Periods (WHP) for Zeus do not specifically list pasture situations and we would recommend adhering to the WHP 'not graze or cut for stock food for 4 weeks after application'.  The WHP is only applicable for animal commodities being used for human consumption.

    Before spraying Zeus Insecticide remove pets from the areas to be treated. Keep the pets away until the spray has been irrigated into the turf and been given time to dry. After this time it should be fine to let them back onto the treated turf.

    Zeus Termiticide and Insecticide is registered for use on citrus trees.  Rates for pre-emergence is 12.5-25mL per tree & post-emergence is 6mL per tree.  You should apply a total spray volume of 5-10L of spray volume to each tree.  Ornamental trees are not listed on Zeus's label.  A trial spray at 2-8mL per litre can be undertaken for suitability.  The directions for use for Zeus Insecticide should be ready before use.  These are available in the Zeus 'SDS and Technical' Tab on the Specialist Sales Website.

    Asked by Vincent on December 22, 2021 12:59 pm
    Answered by the admin

    To control African Black Beetle (adults), 24-36mL of Zeus Termiticide and Insecticide must be applied evenly over 100m2.  The minimum amount of water that the Zeus must be mixed with to be applied over the 100m2 is 2-Litres. However, this could be increased to 5-Litres or more just as long as it is even applied over the whole 100m2 area.  Best control will be achieved if up to 4mm of water is irrigated over the area soon after application.  The lower mixing rates should be used when the insect pressure (numbers) are low and higher rates when the insect pressure (numbers) are high.  Retreat as necessary.

    To control flies and mosquitoes around the external areas of your house, mix Zeus Insecticide at 5-10mL per 1L Water.  Spray surfaces where insects rest or harbour and reapply as necessary.  Applications to concrete floors, treated pine timber fence’s, colour bond fences, and cladding will be fine.  If you are doing a perimeter treatment, spray a band of soil or vegetation 2-3 metres wide around and adjacent to your house/structure.  It would be best if you also treated the foundation of the structure to a height of approx. 1-metre.  Apply a spray volume of 5-10L per 100m2.

    There is no set time to reapply Zeus Insecticide to control lawn pests, including Armyworm.  Once the first application has been applied and irrigated, regularly inspect the treated areas for continuing activity and reapply as required when and if the new pest activity is observed.

  62. Hi, I was looking for a mosquito barrier for my outdoor area. I came across one at https://www.mosquitobarrier.com.au/products/no-mosquitoes-biting-midge-mosquito-barrier And I saw that the active ingredient is 100g/L bifenthrin the same as your Zeus which comes in much bigger 5L bottle for a lot cheaper. Can you please confirm if this will basically have the same effect? Thankyou, Rachel VanderWal

    There are many different Bifenthrin products registered for various uses.  Often these are made from the same amount of the active ingredient (Bifenthrin) but use different solvents, fillers and other incipients that make each unique.  For example, Specialist Sales has the  Mosquito & Midge Slayer plus the Zeus Termiticide and Insecticide, both made from Bifenthrin @ 100g/L.  However, both products have entirely different registrations for their purpose of use which is due to the formulation process of each one.  It is up to you if you choose to use a product 'off-label' for a purpose that isn't listed on the label. However, results can't be guaranteed by the manufacturer.

    When spraying turf for lawn armyworm, sod webworm, African black beetle etc, Zeus Insecticide should be watered in.  To ensure optimum control irrigate the treated area with up to 4mm of water soon after application.  Do not apply Zeus to soils that are excessively wet or immediately after heavy rain.

General Instructions:

Urban pest controlZeus Bifenthrin Termiticide And Insecticide is a powerful knockdown and residual pesticide. Ants, cockroaches, fleas, flies, mosquitoes, spiders, ticks and wasps are controlled by direct contact with spray and also by residual action as they come in to contact with treated surfaces.

Termites – The use of Zeus Bifenthrin Termiticide And Insecticide will help prevent and control subterranean termite infestations in and around building and structures when used in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series, Termite Management. A dilute termiticidal solution must be adequately dispersed into the soil to establish a barrier between the building and subterranean termites in the soil. The purpose of a termite barrier is to prevent concealed termite entry into the building. The biology and behaviour of the termite species involved should be considered by the pest control operator in determining which control measures are most appropriate to control and prevent termite infestations. Best results are obtained when Zeus Bifenthrin Termiticide And Insecticide is applied before pest populations build up to damaging levels.

Turf – This product can be used as a protective treatment when applied at regular intervals or as a knockdown treatment to control existing pests. Best results are obtained when the product is applied before pest populations build up to damaging levels.

Mixing & Application:

Zeus Bifenthrin Termiticide And Insecticide is a suspension concentrate requiring dilution with water prior to use. Add the required quantity of Zeus Bifenthrin Termiticide And Insecticide to water in the spray tank and mix thoroughly. Maintain agitation during both mixing and application. Ensure that spray lines are clean and free from contaminating pesticide, eg. herbicides.

For Termites – to facilitate even application of the termiticide emulsion over the area to be treated, the addition of a marker dye at label rates is recommended. On hard to wet soils, the penetration of the termiticide emulsion may be improved by the addition of a soil surfactant at label rates.

For Treatment of Timber and Timber-based Products – add the required quantity of Zeus Bifenthrin Termiticide And Insecticide to the diluent in the holding tank or glue mixer and mix thoroughly. Maintain agitation during both mixing and application.

For general pest control: Application of Zeus Bifenthrin Termiticide And Insecticide should be made with equipment calibrated to deliver a fine dilute spray in a suitable volume of water to ensure thorough coverage. Use suitable application equipment and preferably cone nozzle combinations to deliver appropriate spray volume and a droplets size of 150 to 200 microns. Do not apply as a fog or mist.

For vector control applications: Zeus Bifenthrin Termiticide And Insecticide can be applied by a variety of application techniques, such as power sprayers, hand-held pump sprayers or backpack sprayers, which are operated to produce large droplets to minimise spray drift. However, the product must not be applied by ULV or fogging equipment, which produce small droplets that may result in off-target drift.

For turf applications: Applications should be made with equipment calibrated to deliver a fine dilute spray in a suitable volume to ensure thorough coverage. Use suitable application equipment and preferably cone nozzle combinations to deliver appropriate spray volume and a droplet size of 150 to 200 microns. Do not apply as a fog or mist. Maintain agitation during mixing and application.

Surfactants:

Zeus Bifenthrin Termiticide And Insecticide contains a surfactant. Additional surfactant may be only necessary on hard to wet plants and in high volume situations.

Safety Directions:

Poisonous if swallowed. May irritate eyes and skin. Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
