Taurus Trio G Insecticide
*This product is a Restricted Use Product (RUP) and requires a Certified Applicator's License to purchase.
Taurus Trio G Insecticide, manufactured by Quali-Pro, is a granular insecticide that contains three powerful active ingredients: Fipronil, Bifenthrin, and Lambda Cyhalothrin.
This combination comes in one uniform granule to deliver a quick knockdown and a lengthy residual to control common insects like fire ants, mole crickets, nuisance ants, fleas and ticks. Use it as a mound, perimeter or boundary application to get impressive insect control all season long.
Tools Needed
To use Taurus Trio G Insecticide you will need a granular spreader to broadcast the granules evenly over the treated area. Either a hand spreader or push spreader will suffice.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Taurus Trio G Insecticide you need. To do this, multiply length x width to get the total square footage to be treated. A typical treatment of Taurus Trio G is 2 pounds of granules per 1,000 square feet. If you have a 3,000 square foot area to be treated, you would need between 6 pounds of Taurus Trio G.
- Step 2: Load the appropriate amount of Taurus Trio G into your broadcast spreader making sure it has been calibrated to the proper spreader setting based on your brand of spreader (see the label for details).
- Step 3: Apply the Taurus G granules to the treatment area, making sure to get even coverage. Do two pass-throughs perpendicular to one another so you get a more uniform spread. Water lightly immediately after applying.
Where to Use
Taurus Trio G Insecticide can be used for applications to golf courses, residential, commercial and industrial areas, cemeteries, parks, campsites, schools, sports fields, sod farms and landscape beds.
When to Use
Taurus Trio G should be applied when insects first appear or when pest damage has been noticed. The granules should be applied when the grass is dry.
Safety Information
Taurus Trio G is safe for pets and kids when it has been applied properly according to the label and has been given time to dry. Be sure to wear the proper PPE before loading and applying Taurus Trio G (gloves, protective eyewear, particle mask, long sleeve clothing, closed-toed shoes).
Special Considerations
While Taurus Trio G Insecticide is labeled for a few other insects, it is mainly meant to treat fire ants. If you are looking to treat other turf insects like chinch bugs or sod webworms, try a granular insecticide with a broad label, such as Bifen LP.
Taurus Trio G are available only in increments of 80 bags. If you're looking for lower quantity option, check out Taurus G fipronil granules. This does not have the addition of bifenthrin and lambda cyhalothrin, but it can ordered by the bag at an economical price.
