DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Spinosad Insecticide contains the active ingredient spinosad which is derived from a soil organism. Follow the specific application rates and use instructions listed in the following tables to control target pests in turfgrass, outdoor ornamentals, and home gardens. Always shake well before use. Avoid freezing. Uniform coverage is critical for effective insect control. Dilute Spinosad Insecticide in sufficient water and apply using suitable application equipment (e.g., hand-held sprayer) to ensure thorough and complete plant coverage.

Application Timing

Conifer sawfly larvae - for effective control of sawfly larvae, applications should be made as soon as larvae appear (2nd -4th instar).

Gypsy moth - for effective control of gypsy moth larvae, applications should be timed for when larvae are small and majority of eggs are hatched.
