Tools Needed

To apply Up-Star Gold Insecticide, you will need to use a hose-end sprayer, backpack sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, or spray rig. 

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Up-Star Gold Insecticide to use 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). For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acres). For general indoor applications, use a 0.02 – 0.06% suspension by mixing 0.33-1 fl. oz. of Up-Star Gold Insecticide per gallon of water. General applications on lawns will use 0.18 to 1.0 fl. oz. of product in 2 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. For ornamentals and trees, apply 5.4 to 43.5 fl. oz. of product per 100 gallons of water. Refer to the label for specific application rates. 
• Step 2: Fill the spray tank with half the amount of water, add measured amount of Up-Star Gold Insecticide, then add in the remaining half of water. Shake until solution is mixed. For hose-end sprayers, add the proper amount of product then spray until the proper amount of water is mixed in. 
• Step 3: Deliver a coarse-drenching spray when using hose-end sprayers. For all other sprays, adjust the nozzle to a fine, spray pattern then spray the treated area until wet, but not the point of runoff.

Apply Up-Star Gold Insecticide to wood on outside of structure pests under slabs, lawn, ornamentals, trees, outside surfaces and around buildings, indoors, food handling establishments, livestock/poultry housing structures, pet kennels, and on dry bulk lawn fertilizers.
