Battle Insecticide is an insecticide and termiticide supplied in a liquid concentrate that contains the active ingredient Bifenthrin. It is a powerful knockdown and residual pesticide that works through direct contact with the spray and by residual action as the pest comes into contact with treated surfaces.
Battle Insecticide can be used as a protective treatment when applied at regular intervals or as a knockdown treatment to control existing pests.
Battle Insecticide is required to be diluted in water prior to use, at the specific application rate on the label recommended for the pest being treated.
Application of Battle Insecticide should be made with a sprayer calibrated to deliver a fine and even spray to ensure thorough coverage.
Equipment can include a variety of application techniques, such as power sprayers, hand-held pump sprayers or backpack sprayers, which are operated to produce large droplets to minimise spray drift. Do not apply Battle as a fog or mist.
Best results are obtained when the product is applied before pest populations build up to damaging levels. If there is a high level of pest pressure, there is a higher application rate recommended on the label that you should follow.
Battle Insecticide also contains a surfactant helping the product to adhere on application.
If you notice continued pest activity, follow-up applications may be required. Reapplying is also recommended for some pests like Black Beetle larvae or lawn grubs, for example, to ensure you are targeting them again once they have transitioned to the next stage of their lifecycle.
Whenever you are using chemicals such as Battle Insecticide, it is always important that you follow the safety directions provided on the product and wear the recommended protective clothing. So make sure you take some time to read the instructions in full before opening the product for application.
