AGITA 10 WG is a new water dispersible residual insecticidal bait formulation for the control of house flies (Musca domestica) in agricultural buildings (e.g. barns, poultry houses, etc.).

The novel combination of a neonicotinoid insecticide with both contact and stomach modes of action, with a house fly sex attractant and a bait, provides an effective fly bait formula which encourages both male and female house flies to remain in treated areas and consume or contact lethal doses of the product.

This unique formulation affords the end user up to 6 weeks of residual activity when applied according to label directions.

In addition, AGITA 10 WG kills litter beetles (Alphitobius diaperinus) on contact in broiler houses. AGITA 10 WG should be used as part of an integrated pest management program for insects.

Thoroughly mix the appropriate quantity of AGITA 10 WG to effectively treat the intended surface areas with a corresponding volume of lukewarm water to obtain a suspension with the consistency of a brushable paint. In general, a ratio of 125 grams of AGITA 10 WG per 100 mL of water produces a mixture of suitable consistency that effectively coats surfaces and provides adequate drying times. The freshly prepared suspension should be applied using a brush and, because of the highly attractive nature of the AGITA bait formulation, need only be applied to a small percentage of the available surface area of a building. For paint applications, a daily maximum quantity of 2.0 kg of AGITA 10 WG may be mixed and applied by one person.

The following table (Table I) provides a guideline for the product dilutions and approximate equivalent sizes of the building that can be treated (expressed in terms of floor surface areas) with each volume;

50 g	100 g	250 g	400 g	1 Kg
In 40 mL water	In 80 mL water	In 200 mL water	In 320 mL water	In 800 mL water
Size of Building – Equivalence in Floor (Ground) Surface Area (m2)
20 m2 ground	40 m2 ground	100 m2 ground*	160 m2 ground	400 m2 ground

For applications employing a low-pressure spray applicator, thoroughly mix the Fly Bait with lukewarm water at the ratio of 125 grams of AGITA 10 WG per 1000 mL of water to obtain a mixture of suitable consistency that will effectively coat surfaces while providing adequate drying times. Again, the following table (Table II) provides a guideline for the product dilutions necessary to obtain an optimum suspension for spray applications.
