| Two-Spotted Spider Mite Control® |
An acaricide/insecticide for the control of Two-spotted Spider Mite in protected tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce.
An emulsifiable concentrate containing 18 g/l abamectin (0.47% w/w) with hexan-1-ol
Unique mode of action.
Contact and translaminar activity giving outstanding control of mites,
leaf miners and thrips.
Surface residues break down rapidly in sunlight allowing introduction of beneficial insects and mites.
Excellent product for clean up at the beginning and end of the season.
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL. USE PESTICIDES SAFELY
- Works in three ways making it a very effective acaricide and insecticide.
- Most effective when ingested by the pest.
- Translaminar activity means that TWO-SPOTTED SPIDER MITE CONTROL® penetrates the leaf to reach the underside of the leaves.
- Offers residual control of Two-spotted Spider Mite on the upper and lower surface of leaves.
- There is also a potent contact action giving quick immobilisation of the pest.
- The active ingredient Abamectin is a naturally derived product of the soil actin-omycete Streptomyces avermitilis.

| MEDICAL ADVICE
|
Get medical attention in all cases.
Abamectin is believed to enhance GABA activity in animals.
Recommendations for medical treatment for abamectin acute toxicity:
Early signs of toxicity include muscle tremors, dilated pupils (mydriasis) and unsteadines (ataxia). If toxicity from exposure has progressed to severe vomiting, the extent of resultant fluid and electrolyte imbalance should be gauged.
Appropriate supportive parenteral fluid replacement therapy should be given, along with other required supportive measures (such as maintenance of blood pressure levels) as indicated by clinical signs, symptoms and measurements.
In severe cases, observation should continue for at least several days until clinical condition is stable and normal. Since abamectin is believed to enhance GABA activity in animals, it is probably wise to avoid drugs that enhance GABA activity in patients with potentially toxic abamectin exposure e.g. barbiturates, benzodiazepines, valproic acid. |
