Key Features:

  • Extended Release Formula: Strike® Pellets are specially formulated for long-lasting effectiveness, offering a 30-day controlled release of our (S)-methoprene to prevent future infestations.

  • Versatile Application: Ideal for treating natural bodies of water, lagoons, and ponds. Use them for aerial or ground applications to achieve thorough coverage and control.

  • Convenient and Uniform: Available in a 22 lb. package, these pellets are easy to apply by hand, allowing for even distribution across large areas.

Benefits:

  • Effective Control: Provides reliable management of midges and filter flies with consistent, extended control over a 30-day period.

  • Flexible Use: Suitable for treating a range of environments, including lagoons and ponds. For optimal results, treat the entire surface area or apply a 20-foot band around the perimeter if full coverage is not feasible.

  • Prevents Future Infestations: Continued use of Strike® Pellets helps prevent reoccurrence of pests, maintaining a pest-free environment.

Usage Instructions:

  1. Application Rate: Apply Strike® Pellets at a rate of 5-10 pounds per acre where wastewater treatment pests are a concern.

  2. Application Method: For best results, distribute the pellets evenly over the entire surface area of the treatment zone. In cases where complete surface treatment is not possible, a 20-foot band around the perimeter of lagoons and ponds can be effective.

Strike® Pellets offer an efficient and reliable solution for managing pest populations in wastewater environments, providing extended protection and ease of application.
