GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Urban Pest Control: ProForce RUMBLER 100 SC Insecticide has powerful knockdown and residual activity against various insect pests. 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 the treated surfaces.

Termites: The use of ProForce RUMBLER 100 SC Insecticide will help prevent and control subterranean termite infestations in and around buildings and structures when used in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series, Termite Management. A dilute termiticide 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 infestation. Best results are obtained when RUMBLER 100 SC 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

RUMBLER 100 SC Insecticide is a suspension concentrate requiring dilution with water prior to use. Add the required quantity of RUMBLER 100 SC 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 contaminant pesticide, e.g., herbicides.

For Termites: To facilitate even application of the termiticide solution 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 solution 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 RUMBLER 100 SC 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 RUMBLER 100 SC 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 the appropriate spray volume and FINE droplets (ASABE S572.1). DO NOT apply as a fog or mist.

For Vector Control Applications: RUMBLER 100 SC 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 minimize spray drift. However, the product must not be applied by ULV or fogging equipment, which are operated to produce small droplets that may result in off-target drift.

For Turf Applications: Application 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 the appropriate spray volume and FINE droplets (ASABE S572.1). DO NOT apply as a fog or mist. Maintain agitation during both mixing and application.

COMPATIBILITY:

ProForce RUMBLER 100 SC Insecticide is compatible with commonly used fungicides such as Dithane M45*, Antracol*, Bravo 500* and Kocide*

Surfactants: ProForce RUMBLER 100 SC Insecticide contains a surfactant. Additional surfactant may only be necessary on hard-to-wet plants and in high volume sprayers.

CRITICAL APPLICATION DETAILS

For Treatment of Timber and Timber Based Products: The application of ProForce RUMBLER 100 SC to both Timber and Timber-based products as specified in the directions for use table will protect treated products form damage by subterranean termites. In most situations protection will be afforded against all termite species including Coptotermes acinaciformis and Mastodermes darwiniensis. The treatment should be conducted in accordance with Australia Standard AS1604 Series.

Treatment of Structures: The pest control operator must notify the site supervisor if any, and workers who come in contact with uncovered treated soil prior to laying the moisture membrane, to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, and to observe re-entry requirements. (For personal protective equipment refer to "SAFETY DIRECTIONS", and for re-entry refer to 'PRECAUTIONS AND RE-ENTRY PERIODS", below).

The use of ProForce RUMBLER 100 SC will help prevent and control subterranean termite infestations in and around buildings and structures when used in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series. Termite Management - A dilute termiticide 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 infestation.

The application of RUMBLER 100 SC to form both horizontal and vertical chemical barriers must be in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series.

For treatment of new and existing buildings: Both horizontal and vertical barriers may be required, around and under the building. External perimeter barriers and where required, internal perimeter barriers are an essential part of this treatment. The purpose of a chemical termite soil barrier is to provide a continuous, no gap barrier between the building and the termite colony. It is, therefore, essential that the Pest Control Operator is familiar with the construction details of the building. For further details, refer to the "Horizontal Barrier Treatments" and "Vertical Barrier Treatments" statements in this leaflet and to the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series.

Horizontal Barrier Treatments: Use 5 L of solution per m2 of soil. Apply the termiticide solution evenly to the soil surface area to ensure the provision of a continuous barrier with no gaps. To minimize drift, use low pressure, high volume spray equipment delivering large coarse droplets. On impervious soils where the application of 5 L/m2 would cause excessive run-off, the application volume may be reduced provided the concentration of the solution is increased by a corresponding amount. For example, the volume of applied concentrate must remain constant at 25, 50, or 75 mL/m2, depending on the location and the situation. Do not apply solution volumes below 2 L/m2. In situations where the soil surface is very dry and conditions are conducive to rapid drying, the area to be treated should be moistened prior to the termiticide application.

It is important to note that when applying a horizontal barrier
