Tools Needed

To use Sniper Insecticide you will need a backpack sprayer or for larger jobs, a professional spray rig of ULV Fogger.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Sniper Insecticide you will need by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). To find acerage, taket the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acre) or measure length of corn rows to get linear feet depending on the area to be treated. Depending on the treatment area, apply 2.1 to 6.4 oz. of Sniper Insecticide per acre in a minimum of 5 gallons of water. For field corn, the dosage is 0.15 to 0.30 fl. oz. per 1,000 linear ft. of row. Refer to the product label as each crop type has a specific rate of application and restrictions. 
• Step 2: To mix, you will put half the amount of required water in your sprayer, then add the appropriate amount of Sniper Insecticide to the sprayer then shake until thoroughly mixed.
• Step 3: Apply the Sniper Insecticide mixture to the target treatment areas, spraying to wet but not to the point of runoff. It is recommended to use a fan spray pattern for uniform coverage.
