Cut flowers for export: quarantine pests. Freshly felled pine logs prior to debarking: fivespined bark beetle (Ips grandicollis). Freshly felled logs, poles and posts, and sawn timber including in situ timbers: furniture beetles (Anobiidae), auger beetles (Bostrichidae), powderpost beetles (Lyctinae) (APVMA 51943).

For control of a range of insect pests in various situations as per the Directions for Use table. Important: Read the attached leaflet before use. Restraint: DO NOT apply spray treatment outdoors if rain is imminent. Buildings - Domestic, commercial, industrial, and public buildings: including food processing establishments, shops, factories, ships, offices, schools, storerooms, hospitals, barracks, private houses and external areas associated with such establishments. Rate: Initial treatment 150 mL; Maintenance treatments 75 mL. For use on non-porous surfaces: dilute with 5 L of water and apply as a coarse spray at a rate of 5 L of emulsion per 100 m² not exceeding the point of run-off. For use on porous surfaces or for use through power equipment, dilute with 10 L of water and apply per 100 m² of surface, not exceeding the point of run-off. Cockroaches: Conduct a thorough inspection and apply to known and potential cockroach harbourages. A barrier application around areas where cockroach infestations may be originating is also suggested. Where application of a spray is not suitable it is recommended that a suitably registered gel bait be applied. Web-spinning spiders: Directly spray spiders, their webbing and areas where spiders may hide. It is recommended that webbing be left in place for a few days after application to optimise efficacy. Non web-spinning spiders: Spray areas where spiders are known to occur. Ants: Where possible locate the nest and spray directly into nest entrances. Penetration of insecticide can be assisted by pre-wetting sandy and porous soils with water. A thorough soaking treatment with insecticide mixture is required to destroy the nest. If nest cannot be located then spray infested areas. Fleas: Clean and vacuum infested areas and dispose of dust collected in the garbage in a sealed plastic bag. Lightly spray infested areas concentrating on areas under furniture etc. Treat pets with a suitably registered veterinary flea control product. Silverfish: Direct spray to areas of potential infestation eg under skirting boards, and furniture where dark conditions may favour silverfish populations. Bed bugs: Treat cracks and crevices in bed frames and the adjacent walls. Bird mites: Treat infested areas. Inspect roof voids and remove any old bird nest material. A suitably registered dust product is recommended for treatment of roof void areas. Carpet beetles: Apply to infested carpets, particularly in areas of little or no traffic, and underneath windows where adult beetles may be entering the building. Clothes moths: Spray surfaces in areas where clothes are stored. DO NOT spray the clothes. Houseflies, mosquitoes - Rate 75 mL: Spray surfaces where flies and mosquitoes are known to rest. Flies - include external surfaces that are exposed to the morning sun. Mosquitoes - spray walls, awnings, fences and vegetated areas near to buildings. Note: A residual surface spray will only control those insects that alight on the treated surfaces. Stored product insect pests (rate cell shared with houseflies, mosquitoes: 75 mL): The use of this product in the control of stored product pests should be considered as part of an integrated strategy to prevent development of insect populations. Best results will be obtained where good hygiene is maintained. Infested areas should be cleaned prior to application and regularly cleaned thereafter to reduce food sources for pests. When treating for beetle pests pay special attention to sheltered areas such as cracks and crevices, under furniture and equipment, floors, walls and shelves. Adult moths can be controlled by applying the product to walls and surfaces where the flying adult moths come to rest. Cut flowers for export - Quarantine pests - 250 mL per 100 L water: Flowers must be totally submerged in the diluted product for not less than 1 minute and then left to dry naturally for 2 hours. For short term protection of freshly felled pine logs prior to debarking - Fivespined bark beetle (Ips grandicollis); for short term protection of freshly felled logs, poles and posts, and sawn timber including in situ timbers - Furniture beetles (F. Anobiidae), Auger beetles (F. Bostrichidae), Powderpost beetles (F. Lyctinae) - 100 mL in 10 L water: Apply through knapsack or power sprayer at the rate of 10 L per 100 m² of surface area. NB. For best results apply promptly after felling or sawing operations. Note on application to carpets: Whilst carpets are regarded as porous surfaces, excessive liquid application may produce water stains and therefore the non-porous surface rate should be adopted if possible. Short pile carpet: Dilute recommended amount of Insectigone in 5 L water and apply 5 L per 100 m² of carpet. Long or shag pile carpet: Dilute recommended amount of Insectigone in 10 L water and apply 10 L per 100 m² to ensure effective penetration of carpet pile. Test a small, inconspicuous area of carpet for colourfastness first. Use as a residual surface treatment for control of stored product pests: Ensure food items in store are not exposed to spray - if necessary remove food items from the area to be treated. Allow all treated surfaces to dry before replacing food items. DO NOT allow spray to contact food packaging material. Discard any foodstuff accidentally contaminated with spray solution. Precautions: Avoid contact with food, food utensils or places where food is prepared or stored. Before use, remove or cover all exposed foodstuffs. Cover all dishes and utensils, and places where food is prepared or stored. After use, thoroughly ventilate treated area. Clean up thoroughly before processing/serving resumes. For surface treatment only - do not spray into the atmosphere using foggers or other devices designed to create an aerosol. Allow treated carpets to dry before resuming activity on them. Mixing/Application: Shake original container before use. Periodically agitate suspension during application to ensure thorough mixing. For best results, form a premix of the required amount of product with an equal volume of water. Stir thoroughly. Add to spray tank and dilute with remaining amount of water. Agitate thoroughly. Do not store diluted insecticide. Prepare a fresh solution as necessary. Do not spray the moving parts of any machinery, electric motors or switch gear with the water based product. Resistance: Group 3A insecticide. Some naturally-occurring insect biotypes resistant to Insectigone Insecticide and other Group 3A insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. Environment: Dangerous to fish. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. Storage and disposal: Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple or (preferably) pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Do not burn empty containers or product.
