For Lawn
Measure the lawn area before application to determine size then weigh the amount of granules to apply over the area. Evenly spread granules over lawn.

After application wash in/irrigation
For beetle larvae (Black beetle, Argentine scarab, Argentine stem weevil and Billbug): Lightly water in immediately after application for optimal control
When treating caterpillars: Delay watering and mowing for 24 hours after application.
Spreader application
The use of a garden spreader or professional spreader that can be calibrated for even output is recommended for optimal product performance. Use a drop type, rotary type or hand held spreader.
Hand or hand shaker application
Hand or hand shaker application may be used to evenly broadcast granules over the ornamental plants area. It is recommended to use gloves when applying by hand.
Spreader and equipment cleanout
Following application, thoroughly rinse spreader and other application equipment with clean water.

DO NOT GRAZE TREATED TURF/LAWN, OR FEED TURF/LAWN CLIPPINGS FROM ANY TREATED AREA TO POULTRY OR LIVESTOCK.
DO NOT apply more than 2 applications per year. The maximum single application rate is 1.5kg/100m2 (0.30kg chlorantraniliprole/ha). The maximum total cumulative annual rate is 2.8kg/100m2 (0.56kg chlorantraniliprole/ha). Only apply by ground-based methods.
CAUTION
DO NOT apply on or around food or animal crops. GHS Classification: Hazardous to the aquatic environment Category 3. DO NOT apply into or onto water. Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. DO NOT allow chemical containers or granules to get into drains, sewers, streams or ponds.
Using the product where soils are absorbent, especially where water level is shallow, may result in the substance leaching into ground-water. For best results and sufficient absorption into soil, DO NOT apply when the soil is saturated with water. This substance is harmful to some beneficial insects - particularly some foliage dwelling predators that may be used in Integrated Pest Management. Due to the persistent nature of chlorantraniliprole in soil, this product is expected to accumulate over successive years following repeated use.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed original container in a cool, dry place, away from foodstuffs and out of the reach of children. Avoid contamination of any water supply with chemical or empty container. Dispose of empty container by wrapping in paper, placing in a plastic bag and putting in rubbish. DO NOT reuse this container for any other purpose.
SAFETY DIRECTIONS
DO NOT eat, drink or smoke while using. DO NOT breathe dust. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear chemical resistant gloves, protective clothing and eye protection. Remove protective clothing and wash hands and face thoroughly after handling.

Why and how you should fertilise your lawn
Lawns are made up of thousands of small, hungry plants. Lawns grow quickly while it’s warm, using up lots of energy. Mowing also depletes the lawn’s energy reserves.
