Target Pests
As the specific active ingredient in Surefire Insectigone has not been confirmed, please refer to the product label for the full list of registered target pests and approved crops or situations. Insecticide products in this category typically target a range of sucking and/or chewing insects such as aphids, mites, whitefly, thrips, caterpillars, beetles, or other listed insect pests depending on the active ingredient and registration. Check the APVMA public chemical registration system or the product label for the exact registered use pattern applicable to your situation.
Surefire Insectigone Insecticide should be mixed and applied strictly in accordance with the product label. Always read the full label before use, as application rates, water volumes, and method of application will vary depending on the target pest and crop or situation. General mixing practice involves part-filling the spray tank with clean water, adding the required amount of product, and topping up to the final volume while agitating thoroughly.
Application is typically made as a foliar spray using ground or hand-held equipment, ensuring thorough and even coverage of target plants or surfaces. Calibrate your sprayer before use to confirm accurate delivery rates. Apply under calm conditions to minimise spray drift onto non-target areas, waterways, or neighbouring properties.
Timing is important — apply when pest populations are at an early or susceptible life stage for best results. Avoid application if rain is expected shortly after treatment, as wash-off can reduce efficacy and increase environmental risk. Always check the label for any specific re-entry intervals, withholding periods (WHP), and critical use instructions before applying to food or fodder crops.
Always wear the personal protective equipment (PPE) specified on the label during mixing and application. Dispose of empty containers and waste product as directed by the label and in accordance with local regulations.
Always read the current registered product label before use. Dose rates and withholding periods on this page are provided as a guide only. The registered label supplied with the product is the legal document and takes precedence. If in doubt, contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 or the manufacturer directly.
Tips for Best Results
- Always read the full product label before use — application rates, withholding periods, and safety requirements are specific to this product and must be followed for legal and safe use.
- Apply during the cooler parts of the day (early morning or late afternoon) where possible to reduce evaporation, minimise heat stress on crops, and improve insect activity and product uptake.
- Rotate chemical groups (mode of action) between spray applications to reduce the risk of insecticide resistance developing in pest populations — check the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) group listed on the label.
- Ensure thorough coverage of the target area, including undersides of leaves where many pest insects shelter and feed — poor coverage is one of the most common causes of reduced efficacy.
- Store the product in its original container in a cool, dry, locked chemical storage area away from children, livestock, feed, and waterways, as per label and Australian chemical storage regulations.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
