Red Spray Pattern Indicator (Brandt Mark-It)
Red Spray Pattern Indicator is a concentrated red dye. It is used to indicate where pesticides and other sprays have been applied. The color is temporary and prevents over or under-applying treatment sprays.
Red Spray Pattern Indicator, manufactured by Brandt, is mixed with various types of liquid lawn care products to indicate areas that have been treated.
The Red Spray Pattern Indicator dye helps prevent product waste by over-applying it. It also helps detect product drift to prevent treating non-targeted areas.
Red Spray Pattern Indicator dye will not stain most surface areas and will easily wash off turfs and lawns. Never under or over-treat a turn or lawn again when using Red Spray Pattern Indicator dye.
Tools Needed
A backpack sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, or skid sprayer is needed. The solutions must also be mixed with a compatible liquid spray.
How to Use
- Step 1: Calculate the square footage of the area you wish to treat to determine how much pesticide and dye mixture you need. Measure the treatment areas' length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length x width = square footage). For handheld or backpack sprayers (3 to 5 gallons), use 1 oz. per gallon to cover 1,000 sq. ft.
- Step 2: Fill the tank halfway with the appropriate amount of water and the concentrated solution, such as pesticide, fertilizer, or herbicide. Always read the label to ensure it is compatible with a concentrate marker dye. When the spray tank is half full, add the correct amount of Red Spray Pattern Indicator dye to the tank. Use 1 ounce of dye per 1 gallon of spray solution.
- Step 3: Shake the sprayer to mix well and begin applying the solution mix according to the insecticide, fertilizer, or herbicide product label.
Where to Use
The Red Spray Pattern Indicator is ideal for use on sizeable outdoor surface areas, such as golf courses, utility areas, parks, and other types of turfs and lawns.
When to Use
This product should be used when applying liquid lawn care products such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers to help indicate areas that have already been treated and prevent over- or undertreatment.
Safety Information
Red Spray Pattern Indicator is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label of both the red dye and the herbicide product it is being applied with. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and using this product.
Special Considerations
When using the Red Spray Pattern Indicator near surface areas not listed on the label, spot-check before treating the entire area to ensure it will not stain.
