DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

HOW TO APPLY AND WHERE TO USE:

Aqualuer 20-20 is designed for application as an Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) or thermal aerosol to control adult mosquitoes and flies of nuisance, public health or disease vector importance in areas including residential areas, industrial areas, commercial areas, urban areas, parks, campgrounds, woodlands, athletic fields, golf courses, playgrounds, recreational areas, overgrown waste areas, roadsides, and other areas where adult mosquitoes and flies may be found.

Apply Aqualuer 20-20 with ULV cold aerosol generators, thermal aerosol generators, mistblowers, backpack sprayers, or handheld sprayers. Backpack sprayers, handheld sprayers, and low-pressure hand sprayers may be used for barrier or surface applications.

Treat when mosquitoes or insects are most active and weather conditions are conducive to keeping the fog near the ground e.g. cool temperatures, and consistent wind speeds are not greater than 10 mph. Applications during the cool hours of night or early morning are usually preferable. Apply when wind speed is greater than 1 mph.

Do not retreat the same site more than once in 3 days. Do not exceed 25 applications at 0.007 lbs permethrin and 0.007 lbs PBO per acre per application, or 0.18 lbs of permethrin per acre per season and 0.18 lbs PBO per acre per year. More frequent treatments may be made to prevent or control a threat to public and/or animal health determined by a state, tribal or local health or vector control agency on the basis of documented evidence of disease causing agents in vector mosquitoes or the occurrence of mosquito-bourne disease in animal or human populations, or if specifically approved by the state or tribe during a natural disaster recovery effort.

Air temperatures should be greater than 50 degrees Fahrenheit when conducting all types of applications.

Aqualuer 20-20 provides effective control of adult mosquitoes, black flies, gnats, biting and non-biting midges, stable flies, horse flies, deer flies, sheep flies, horn and heel flies, and nuisance flying insects such as houseflies.

Do not make applications during rain. Do not apply directly to sewers or drains, or to any area like a gutter where drainage to sewers, storm drains, water bodies, or aquatic habitat can occur, except as directed by this label.

Not for use in outdoor residential misting systems. Not for use in metered release systems.near heat or open flame. Keep away from oxidizers.

GROUND APPLICATION

Vehicle-Mounted ULV Cold Aerosol Generators (Cold Fog): Apply through non-thermal ULV application equipment and base all acreage calculations on the equipment manufacturer’s recommended swath width.

Spray equipment must be adjusted so the volume median diameter or mass median diameter is less than 30 microns (Dv 0.5 < 30 mm) and that 90% of the spray is contained in droplets smaller than 50 microns (Dv 0.9 < 50 mm). Directions from the equipment manufacturer or vendor, pesticide registrant or a test facility using a laser-based measurement instrument must be used to adjust equipment to produce acceptable droplet size spectra. Application equipment must be tested at least annually to confirm that pressure at the nozzle and nozzle flow rate(s) are properly calibrated.

Apply at a rate not to exceed 0.007 pounds of permethrin per acre. An optimum swath is created when Aqualuer 20-20 is applied from a truck being driven perpendicular to the wind direction. Direct the spray head of the equipment to ensure an optimum distribution of the spray cloud throughout the area. For best results, apply when insects are most active and meteorological conditions are conducive to keeping the spray cloud near the ground. An inversion of air temperatures and a light breeze of approximately 1 to 3 mph is preferable. During applications consistent ground wind speeds should not exceed 10 mph. Application of this product during cooler hours of the night or early morning is recommended.

Aqualuer 20-20 may be applied through all ULV Cold Aerosol Generators, or other similar equipment designed for non-thermal ULV aerosol applications. The desired application rate may be obtained from the chart below or by altering the dilution rate of Aqualuer 20-20, the flow rate of the insecticide from the application equipment and the vehicle speed. Some examples are provided in the following chart. When an alternate rate is required, adjust the flow rate accordingly, provided the droplet size and spectrum remain within the label specifications.

*Dilution Instructions: Fill tank with the recommended amount of water, start agitation then add the correct amount of Aqualuer 20-20. The use of metering pumps, injector systems or other mixing systems is optional. Note: When using oil as a diluent agitate well before use.

Where dense vegetation is present, use higher rates of application and/or a slower speed for best results.

Backpack or Handheld Sprayer Application: Apply through non-thermal ULV application equipment and base acreage calculations on a 300-foot swath. To apply undiluted at 0.007 pounds of permethrin per acre adjust equipment to an output rate of 1.24 ounces per minute and walk at 4 mph. To apply 0.0035 pounds of permethrin per acre, dilute 1 part Aqualuer 20-20 with 5 parts of diluent and apply at a rate of 3.8 ounces per minute and walk at 4 mph.

Thermal Aerosol Application: For use in truck-mounted, handheld or other thermal fogging equipment. Spray equipment must be adjusted so the volume median diameter or mass median diameter is less than 30 microns (Dv 0.5 < 30 m) and that 90% of the spray is contained in droplets smaller than 48 microns (Dv 0.9 < 48 m). Directions from the equipment manufacturer or vendor, pesticide registrant or a test facility using a laser-based measurement instrument must be used to adjust equipment to produce acceptable droplet size spectra. Application equipment must be tested at least annually to confirm that pressure at the nozzle and nozzle flow rate(s) are properly calibrated. Apply this product mixed with water or oil at a rate not to exceed 0.007 lbs. per acre. Base acreage calculations on a 300 feet swath. For best results, direct the thermal fog into and allow to drift through areas where adult mosquitoes are found.

Barrier Applications: To exclude and control resting or flying adult mosquitoes in areas such as animal quarters, roadsides, urban areas, residential areas, commercial areas, industrial areas, golf courses, parks, recreational areas, tire piles and all public areas where adult mosquitoes occur or find harborage. May be used to treat aggregation and harborage areas such as the perimeter of residential buildings, commercial buildings, storage buildings, crawl spaces, transport trailers, abandoned or uninhabited buildings and other areas where adult mosquitoes find harborage.

When this product is applied as a barrier application, do not apply within 100 feet (30 meters) of lakes and streams.

To apply this product using low pressure hand sprayers or other similar equipment, for the control of mosquitoes on resting or aggregation surfaces mix 0.126 oz. (3.73 ml) in one gallon of water and apply sufficient spray to dampen the surface—approximately 700-750 square feet of treated area. Use equipment that is capable of delivering an even distribution of the labeled rate over the treatment area.

For application using backpack or truck-mounted low-pressure direct spray, non-ULV equipment, apply Aqualuer 20-20 undiluted at a rate not to exceed 7.3 oz. per acre. If diluted apply at a rate not to exceed 0.1 lbs. permethrin a.i. per acre. Diluted or undiluted applications may be made into foliage at the perimeter of areas such as recreational areas, parks, or golf courses from which mosquitoes or flies are to be excluded. Applications may be directed into harborage areas or other resting areas where adult mosquitoes or flies may be found. Do not apply more than 0.18 lbs. permethrin a.i. per year to the same site.

Urban ULV Mosquito Control Applications: For control of resting or flying adult mosquitoes, biting flies and biting midges in harborage areas such as but not limited to utility tunnels, sewers, storm drains and catch basins, pipe tunnels, basements, underground passages, parking decks, crawl spaces under buildings, abandoned buildings or uninhabited buildings. Apply Aqualuer 20-20 diluted or undiluted using mechanical foggers, hand-held or truck-mounted ULV equipment, thermal foggers or other spray equipment suitable for this type of application. Aqualuer 20-20 may be applied at rates up to but not exceeding 0.007 lbs. permethrin per acre.

AERIAL APPLICATION

Apply Aqualuer 20-20 either diluted or undiluted at rates up to 0.007 lbs. permethrin/PBO per acre by fixed wing or rotary aircraft equipped with a spraying system capable of making a ULV application.

Aerial application of Aqualuer 20-20 shall be made at altitudes randing from 75 feet to 300 feet. Do not apply by fixed wing aircraft at a height less than 100 feet, or by helicopter at a height less than 75 feet unless specifically approved by the state or tribe based on public health needs.

Do not apply when ground wind speed exceeds 10 mph. Aerial applications of Aqualuer 20-20 shall only be made when recommended by public health officials and trained personnel of mosquito abatement districts and other mosquito control programs.

For best results, apply Aqualuer 20-20 when insects are most active and meteorological conditions are conducive to keeping the spray cloud near the ground. Aerial applications using aircraft equipped with global positioning systems (GPS) may be needed to compensate for windy conditions and to ensure drift into target areas.

IN FLORIDA: Do not apply by aircraft unless approved by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
