STEALTH Miticide Insecticide 1L | Long-Lasting Pest Control

Product Description

STEALTH Miticide and Insecticide is a 1 L pack of an 18 g/L abamectin liquid concentrate (Group 6 insecticide). The label is written mainly for commercial growers: it lists two-spotted and other mites, and some insect pests, on named crops such as apples, pears, citrus, avocados, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers and cotton, and two-spotted mite on ornamentals including roses, chrysanthemums, carnations and indoor foliage plants (50 mL per 100 L of water).

Where not to use it. The label says not to use it on ferns or Shasta, and not to apply it to apples or pears before or after Delan or captan sprays. It is not for use with ULV formulations.

Harvest and grazing. Withholding periods depend on the crop: 1 day for snow peas, sugar snap peas and passionfruit, 3 days for lettuce, cucumber, zucchini, strawberries and fruiting vegetables such as tomatoes, 14 days for apples and pears, and 4 weeks for hops and some beans. Check the label for your crop before you spray.

Bees, fish and glasshouses. Dangerous to bees: do not spray plants in flower while bees are foraging. Dangerous to fish and aquatic organisms: do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. Do not re-enter treated glasshouse areas for 24 hours after treatment.

Resistance. It is a Group 6 insecticide. The label warns that repeated use of Group 6 products can let resistant insects and mites build up.

How to use it. Rates differ by crop and pest, and some uses add summer oil. Read the full label for your crop and rate before mixing (the Application Rates tab is a summary).

Before you buy. The label asks for cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, elbow-length chemical resistant gloves and goggles, and a half face-piece respirator if applying by low pressure hand wand. If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.
