What Now When Raining?
Monday February 20, 2012
Question:
Technicians around the country routinely apply pyrethroid granules during rainy weather. With the new label changes to pyrethroid products what would be a substitute "rainy day service protocol" for a service technician to follow?

Answer:
Yes, the new EPA-mandated wording that will be going on ALL labels of ALL pyrethroid products as the manufacturers produce them this year has certainly thrown a monkey wrench into our gears. For those who may still be unaware of this, you can find the complete update on PestWeb in the "Industry / PestWeb Features" link on our home page. The new wording for Granular formulations of pyrethroids is short and to the point, as it now will say "Do Not make applications during rain". This doesn't leave much room for debate and interpretation.
