Tools Needed

To use Abamectin 0.15 EC Miticide you will need either a hose end sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or professional spray rig. For smaller sized residential treatments, we recommend a handheld 1-gallon pump sprayer or a 4-gallon backpack sprayer.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Abamectin 0.15 EC you will need by calculating the square footage of the area you will be treating. You can do this by multiplying the length times width (length x with = square footage). The labeled rate for Abamectin 0.15 EC is 4 to 8 fl. oz. per 100 gallons of water per acre. For small treatments, use 0.04 to 0.08 fl. oz. per gallon to treat 1,000 sq. ft.
• Step 2: Fill your sprayer halfway with the required amount of water and then add the appropriate measured amount of Abamectin 0.15 EC. Fill the sprayer with the remaining half of water. Shake well to ensure the product is properly agitated and mixed.
• Step 3: Apply the product according to labeled directions in the areas where you are having pest infestations. Completely cover foliage just before the point of run off. If spraying a tree, treat stems and trunks up to 10 feet from the ground. You can use a coarse spray, drench, or broadcast.
• Step 4: Repeat application once a week for 3 weeks and then rotate to another insecticide with a different mode of action for 3 weeks for continued control.
