LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7%, manufactured by Rockwell Labs, is an effective controlled release micro-encapsulated insecticide used for long-term control of numerous pests, including spiders and scorpions. 

These micro-capsules are easy to mix and features a low odor, and its broad label makes it convenient for even the toughest to control pests. This easy to use insecticide is primarily used for outdoors applications against mosquitoes, but can be used indoors, including food areas as a crack and crevice treatment.

LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% has a quick knockdown of targeted pests, and with its micro-encapsulated technology, it provides a residual efficacy up to 12 weeks.

Tools Needed

LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% can be used with a hand pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, hose end sprayer, professional spray rig, or a foamer for foam applications. For average applications, we suggest using a 1 gallon pump sprayer or a 4 gallon backpack sprayer.

Do not use this product with oil.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% you will need by calculating the square footage of the treatment area. Do this by measuring the area's length and width in feet, and then multiplying them together (length X width = square feet.) For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acre). For premise pest control, you will use either 0.2 to 0.4 fl. oz., or 0.8 fl. oz. of LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. of perimeter. For perimeter barrier applications, apply 0.8 fl. oz. of product per 1-5 gallons of water per 800-1600 sq. ft. For lawn and turfgrass pests, use 3.4 - 7 mL of product per 2-5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. For ornamental insect pest control, apply 3 to 5 fl. oz. of product per 100 gallons of water or 88 to 148 mL per 100 gallons of water.
• Step 2: In a spray tank, fill it with half the amount of required water, then add the measured amount of LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7%. Fill the tank the rest of the way with remaining half of water then close the sprayer, and shake until thoroughly mixed.
• Step 3: Apply the product according to label directions where you have seen pest activity. For perimeter barrier treatments, apply a continual band of insecticide around building foundations spraying 3 feet up the structure and 10 feet out. Also spray around windows, doors, evens, vents, and any areas that can be used by pests to enter the structure. For turf and ornamental spraying, apply the product uniformly over the area spraying to the point of wet, not runoff. Indoor applications can be made, but are limited to crack and crevice treatments. Delay watering or mowing for 12 - 24 hours for optimum control of surface-feeding insect pests. You may water-in immediately after application with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water for control of subsurface pests like mole crickets, grubs, etc.
• Step 4: Re-applications can be made every 7 days on ornamentals and lawns if necessary. For indoor applications, this product can be reapplied every 21 days if necessary. Otherwise, reapplications can be made on a monthly basis such as 21-30 days outdoors and 90 days indoors.

When to Use

Apply LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% before pest activity is high and when there is significant damages to turf and ornamentals. Best times are typically in early spring or late fall, since this is the normal time frame for most pest activity to begin.

Apply on calm days when wind speeds are low to minimize drift and when rain is not forecasted for 24 hours after application.

Safety Information

LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product.

Keep all people and pets off the treated areas until dry.

Special Considerations

LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% is a microencapsulated product concentrate, so it can settle out once diluted in water. Because of this, we recommend that anything you mix up is used the same day. It is also necessary to constantly agitate the solution in a spray tank during treatment.
