Application rates & sites 22

Target pest	Indoor / Outdoor	Where on site	Rate	Notes
Annual Bluegrass Weevil	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.15 Fl oz	Applications should be timed to control adult weevils with their earliest spring activity. This generally begins when Forsythia is in full bloom and concludes when flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) is in full bloom.
Armyworms	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz	Delay watering or mowing for 24 hours after application to ensure optimum control of armyworms, cutworms and sod webworms.
Billbugs	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Crane Flies	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz	Treatments can be made to control early to mid-season larvae (approximately August - February) as they feed on plant crowns. Treatments made to late-season larvae (approximately March, April) may only provide suppression.
Crickets	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Cutworms	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz	Delay watering or mowing for 24 hours after application to ensure optimum control of armyworms, cutworms and sod webworms.
Earwigs	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Fall Webworms	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Fleas (adults, larvae)	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Grasshoppers	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Mealybugs	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Mites	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Sod Webworms	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz	Delay watering or mowing for 24 hours after application to ensure optimum control of armyworms, cutworms and sod webworms.
Spittlebugs	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Ants	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Chinch Bugs	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Mole Crickets	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz	For control of overwintered mole crickets apply the lower rate in early spring. For the control of adult Mole Crickets in late-Summer or early Fall, apply the higher rate. To enhance control a non-ionic surfactant or a silicone based surfactant (0.25% v/v) may be applied as a tank-mix for the control of late summer or fall adult mole crickets.
Imported Fire Ants	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz	This application rate is for foraging ants. See the Pest Control on Outside Surfaces and Around Buildings section for mound con[trol]. Individual nest drenches should be applied by using 0.07 fl oz per gallon of water in and around each cavity. Cover the entrance hole with soil after application.
Japanese Beetles (adult)	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Stink bugs	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Ticks	Outdoor	lawn	0.07-0.30 Fl oz
Ornamentals and Trees	Both	foliar applications	0.26-1.28 fluid ounces	Dilute 0.26 to 1.28 fluid ounces of BASELINE insecticide per 10 gallons of water and apply at the rate of 10 gallons per 4,356 square feet. One gallon of finish spray will treat 435 square feet. If a higher volume application is required for adequate coverage of the plant canopy, BASELINE insecticide may be diluted in large volumes of water as long as the maximum label rate (1.28 fluid ounces per 4,356 square feet) is not exceeded.

Mixing & dilution 3

For	Where	Amount	Per	Finished strength	Notes
mole crickets (sub-surface pests)	Outdoor	0.25% v/v	less than 2 gallons/1,000 sq ft	non-ionic or silicone based surfactant	recommended for low water volume usage
mole crickets (sub-surface pests)	Outdoor	0.25% v/v	sufficient water	non-ionic or silicone based surfactant	To maximize efficacy against sub-surface pests, BASELINE insecticide should be applied with a non-ionic or silicone based surfactant (0.25% v/v) in sufficient water to ensure good penetration of spray to soil-thatch matrix.
mole crickets (late summer or fall adult)	Outdoor	0.25% v/v		non-ionic surfactant or a silicone based surfactant	may be applied as a tank-mix

Timing & weather

Do not apply when wind conditions favor downwind drift to nearby water bodies.
Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 10 miles per hour.
Treated areas should then be irrigated with 0.25 to 0.5 inches of water immediately afterwards paying special attention so that run-off or puddling does not occur.

Use restrictions 1

In New York State, this product may NOT be applied to any grass or turf area within 100 feet of a water body (lake, pond, river, stream, wetland, or drainage ditch).
