Mixing Instructions

Grenade® ER Insecticide is intended for dilution with water for application using hand-held or power-operated application equipment as a coarse spray for crack-and-crevice or spot and surface treatments. Application equipment that delivers low volume treatments, such as the Micro-Injector® or Actisol® applicator, may also be used to make crack-and-crevice or spot and surface treatments. Fill applicator tank with the desired volume of water and add Grenade® ER Insecticide. Close and shake before use in order to ensure proper mixing. Shake or re-agitate applicator tank before use if application is interrupted. Mix only amount required. A surface treatment of Grenade® ER Insecticide may be applied by using a paintbrush or other porous applicator attached to a handle.

Tank Mixing

Grenade® ER Insecticide may be tank mixed with other currently registered pesticides unless expressly prohibited by the product label. To ensure compatibility, conduct a small volume mixing test with the other products. If mixed with sanitizers, add Grenade® ER Insecticide to the tank first. If other chemicals are added to the applicator tank, add Grenade® ER Insecticide last. If mixed with EC formulations, use within 24 hrs. Fill tank to desired volume and continue to agitate while making applications.

Grenade® ER Insecticide may be tank mixed with an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) such as Archer® Insect Growth Regulator.
