Pylon TR Total Release Insecticide, manufactured by BASF, is an easy-to-use insecticide aerosol that delivers powerful, full-room control of mites, thrips, and caterpillars in commercial greenhouses - no sprayer needed, just press and protect up to 3,000 sq. ft.

This fogging aerosol contains Chlorfenapyr 4.5%, a powerful, non-systemic insecticide-miticide that attacks pests through ingestion or contact. It's part of the pyrrole class of chemistry, making it an excellent choice for resistance management. Most importantly, Pylon TR Total Release Insecticide is labeled for use on ornamental plants and fruiting vegetables grown in greenhouses, making it a go-to product for growers managing delicate, high-value crops in controlled environments.

Pylon TR Total Release Insecticide targeted action, unique chemistry, and ease of use make it one of the best fogging solutions for pest management in controlled environments. Despite its strength, this product is safe on ornamental crops and fruiting vegetables when used according to label instructions.

Tools Needed

No additional tools are needed. 

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Pylon TR Total Release Insecticide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For low infestations, use 1 can per 3,000 sq. ft. For severe infestations, place 2 cans per 3,000 sq. ft. Do not apply this product more than three times during a crop growing cycle.
• Step 2: Shut off all exhaust fans and close all windows, doors and ventilators. Turn off all ignition sources such as pilot lights (shut off gas valves), other open flames or running electrical appliances that cycle off and on. Prepare a 3 foot plant free zone in which to place container. Elevate the container so that the top of the can is above the top of plant canopy. Make sure spray is unobstructed by foliage or other physical objects in order to obtain maximum distribution of fog. Common practice is to place the container on a stool or overturned pot to elevate it to allow for unobstructed release.
• Step 3: To start fogging: Hold the container facing away from the body and depress the actuator until it is locked down. Once the container has been activated, place the container in the plant-free zone, vacate the structure immediately, and close the door.
• Step 4: Repeat applications can be made at 7 day intervals.
