GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The product in this outer package is a wettable powder formulation of the insecticide permethrin packaged in a translucent water soluble bag. Do not allow the inner bag to become wet before adding to spray or nurse tank. Do not handle the inner bag with wet hands or wet gloves. Rough handling may cause breakage. Do not store at temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Allow to warm above 50°F (10°C) before use. Cooler water temperatures increase the time needed for the inner bag to dissolve completely.
Apply Pounce WSB when insects appear or feeding is noticed. The higher rate should be used as pest populations increase. Repeat the application as necessary to maintain control. Pounce WSB may be applied by both ground and aerial equipment. Use sufficient water to obtain full coverage. With the exception of crops listed below, rotational crops should not be planted within 60 days of last application. Pounce WSB insecticide is to be diluted with water for spray application. Do not use strainers finer than 50 mesh size. Determine the number of water soluble bag(s) to make up necessary spray suspension. Use a minimum spray volume of 5 gallons of water per acre. Fill the spray or nurse tank 1 ⁄2 full with water. Open the outer wrapper of this product and immediately dump required contents into spray tank. Allow the water soluble bag(s) to dissolve completely. Start hydraulic or mechanical agitation. Air agitation is not recommended. Mix thoroughly to fully disperse and suspend the wettable powder. Fill the spray tank with the
required amount of water. Maintain agitation during storage in nurse or supply tank and during application. Mix as needed; do not store diluted material.

Chemigation Use Directions
Apply this product only through sprinkler, including center pivot, lateral move end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation systems. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service Specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is eitherautomatically or manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
For Pounce WSB mixing instructions, see general instructions. Pounce WSB should be diluted in sufficient volume of water to ensure accurate application over the area to be treated. Add the number amount of water soluble bag(s) to the supply tank. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and application to ensure that the bags dissolve and that there is uniformity of the supply tank suspension. Hydraulic or mechanical agitation is recommended. Pounce WSB should be applied continuously for the duration of the water application. When using chemigation, a minimum of 0.1 inch per acre of irrigation water is recommended.
