Advanced, Systemic Protection for Your Plant Collection

Ensure comprehensive pest control with the only systemic combination miticide and insecticide on the market—Spirotetramat (the same innovative active ingredient powering Movento®).

Spirotetramat is expertly formulated to provide complete and lasting protection against sap-sucking insects (thrips, scale, mealybugs), spider mites, and nematodes, safeguarding both visible and hidden plant tissues.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Two-Way Systemic Movement: Moves effectively from leaf-to-leaf and leaf-to-root, ensuring thorough protection throughout the entire plant, including dense foliage, new growth, and root systems.

  • Broad-Spectrum Control: Highly effective against aphids, whiteflies, scales, thrips, mites, psyllids, and nematodes (root-knot, ring, lesion, citrus, dagger, stubby, and cyst species).

  • Long-Lasting Efficacy: Delivers durable residual control, continuously safeguarding new plant growth from reinfestation.

  • Ideal for Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Low risk to beneficial insects and natural predators when used according to guidelines, promoting healthier ecosystems and sustainable gardening practices.

  • Efficient Low-Use Rate: Concentrated formula allows effective pest control with minimal spray volume, saving time, reducing labor, and ensuring timely, efficient applications.

  • Unique Mode of Action: Spirotetramat’s distinctive chemistry disrupts lipid biosynthesis in pests upon ingestion, significantly reducing pest populations and plant damage.

  • Easy & Accurate Application: Convenient amber glass dropper bottle with included pipette ensures precise measurement and mess-free handling.

Mixing & Application Instructions:

  • 0.5 oz of concentrated spirotetramat

  • Dilution Rates:

    • Per 100 gallons solution: 60–150 mL (2–5 fl. oz.) spirotetramat

    • Per 5 gallons solution: 3–7.5 mL (0.1–0.25 fl. oz.) spirotetramat

    • Per 1 gallon solution: 0.6–1.5 mL (0.02–0.05 fl. oz.) spirotetramat

  • Application Guidelines:

    • Shake the bottle well before use.

    • Mix the appropriate amount with water in a clean sprayer.

    • Spray thoroughly on all affected plants—including neighboring foliage—to ensure complete coverage (including undersides of leaves).

    • Reapply every 3 days at least 3 times to completely disrupt the pest life cycle.

Safety & Regulatory Information:

  • EPA Registration: EPA Reg. No. 264-1050

  • Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin; wear appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and long-sleeved clothing.

  • Avoid application near aquatic environments due to potential toxicity to aquatic life.

  • Store securely in a cool, dry area away from food and out of reach of children.

Pests Controlled:
