Application: recommended spray liquid concentration: 1% (50 ml of product per 5 l of water)

Active substance: permethrin as in Aspermet 200 EC

Control of insects indoors:

- spray method – recommended concentration: 2% (50 ml of product in 2.5 l of water), at a dose of 1 litre of spray liquid per 20 m2 of surface

- fogging using aerosol generators at a dose of 50 ml of product in 0.5 l of odourless vaseline oil per 300 m³ of treated volume.

Control of mosquitoes outside buildings:

ULV treatment (“cold fog”): Prepare a 5% aqueous solution of Focus concentrate. Part of the water used to prepare the solution is recommended to be replaced with a carrier used in ULV treatments, which improves the effectiveness of the “cold fog”. 10 litres of spray liquid is sufficient to spray 1 ha.

“Hot fog” treatment: Prepare the spray liquid by diluting 0.5 litres of product and 0.5–1.5 litres of carrier with water to 5 litres. This prepared spray liquid is sufficient for fogging 1 ha of surface.

Control of ticks outside buildings:

- spray method: prepare a 1% solution of Focus concentrate in water (50 ml of product in 5 litres of water) and mix thoroughly. Use at a dose of 1 litre of spray liquid per 20 m² of surface.

METHOD OF APPLICATION:

Enclosed spaces:

The treatment can be performed using most types of sprayers used for insect control in enclosed spaces.

The basic principle of proper treatment is thorough coverage of surfaces with liquid (until the beginning of minimal dripping) of the treated surfaces. No more than 1/3 of the room’s surface should be sprayed.

When controlling crawling insects (cockroaches, etc.) special attention should be paid to their nesting sites (corners of walls and floors, cracks, crevices, pipe and conduit passages, places behind skirting boards, wallpapers and carpets, bathtubs, kitchen cabinets, backs of furniture and pictures, hoods etc.).

When controlling flies, spray the surfaces where flies most frequently rest (sunlit parts of walls, near windows, lamps, support posts, partitions, waste storage areas - provided they are not used as animal feed, etc.).

 

 

Outdoor surfaces: (control of mosquitoes and ticks)

The treatment should be applied evenly over the entire surface intended for disinsection on a warm, windless afternoon when no rain is expected. Avoid treatment at extremely high temperatures, which may reduce the effectiveness of the active substance.

There are no contraindications to staying in the treated area immediately after the treatment, but not before the disinsection fog has settled.

PREPARATION OF SPRAY LIQUID:

Determine the required amount of product. Shake the bottle well. Measure the required amount of product and pour into the sprayer tank partially filled with water. Mix well. Rinse the empty packaging three times with water and pour the rinsate into the sprayer tank. Fill the tank with water to the required volume and mix again to obtain a uniform suspension. Perform the treatment immediately.

After work, wash the equipment thoroughly. Dilute any unused spray liquid with water and spray onto previously treated surfaces. Spray the water used for washing the equipment onto previously treated surfaces, using the same personal protective equipment.
