• Not registered for aerial application.
Ground
• Droplets act like mini bait stations.
• Target large droplet size to ensure better attractiveness and longevity results.
• The targeted droplet size is a diameter of 5 mm using D1 or D2 nozzles with the swirl plates removed, and an operating pressure of 45 to 60 psi.
• If the droplets are too small, there will not be enough product to control the fly, and if the droplets are too large, the droplet will spread out and not be effective for control.
