Environmental Precautions
Pounce/Ambush/Perm-UP is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms, including fish. Avoid contamination of
aquatic systems during application. Do not contaminate these systems through direct application, disposal of waste or
cleaning equipment. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other non-target areas. Do not apply by any
ground application within 15 metres or by any aerial application within 100 metres of any body of water.
Toxicity
Low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD
50
(
rats) Ambush 500 EC = 3,000 mg/kg, Pounce EC/Perm-UP = 1,030
mg/kg. Severe eye irritant. Very toxic to bees.
Storage
Keep product away from fire, open flame, electric light bulbs and other sources of heat. Minimum storage
temperature for Ambush - 0°C, Pounce - 12°C.

:
Application should be made when the majority of the
population is at egg hatch to the second instar. Use higher application rates and
spray volumes for higher pest pressure, when larvae are large or foliage canopy
is tall or dense. Re-application on a 10 -14 day interval will be required to protect
new growth or when monitoring indicates that it is necessary.
European corn borer
:
The first application should be made just prior to egg
hatch. Scout for European corn borer to monitor egg-laying and egg hatch to
determine application timing. Use higher application rates and spray volumes for
higher pest pressure.
Application Information
How to Apply
:
Ground application only. Do not apply by air.
Water Volume
:
Ground: 40 L/acre minimum.
Application Tips
Apply recommended dosage in sufficient water to obtain thorough, uniform coverage of the target crop.
How it Works
Rimon 10 EC is an insect growth regulator that must be absorbed by eggs or ingested by insect larvae to be fully
effective. The primary mode of action is by disrupting cuticle formation and deposition occurring when insects
change from one developmental stage to another, resulting in death at molting. Due to this mode of action, Rimon 10
EC has no effect on adult stages of insects that have completed all the successive molts through larval or nymphal
stages of development.
Restrictions
Pre-harvest Interval
:
Do not apply within 14 days of harvest.
Environmental Precautions
:
Rimon 10 EC is toxic to aquatic organisms. Observe buffer zones as specified on the
label.
