Tandem Insecticide

Tandem Insecticide is a microencapsulated insecticide with dual modes of action to control a wide range of pests both indoors and outdoors.

Tandem Insecticide combines the power of two proven active ingredients, lambda-cyhalothrin and thiamethoxam, to provide a double assault on pests with one product. Formulated with proprietary iCAP technology, Tandem provides quick knock down and long-lasting control of a broad range of pests.

Tandem Insecticide Features:
* Broad pest spectrum provides "cupboard to curb" control of more than 90 insects with a single product.
* Application flexibility allows Tandem to be used indoors for residential, commercial and food-handling areas and outdoors for perimeter or spot treatments for general pests, and full yard treatments for turf pests.
* Patented iCAP technology protects the active ingredient in various capsule sizes to ensure controlled release and durability against harsh environmental conditions.

Tandem Insecticide Benefits:
* One product tackles a broad range of pests and eliminates the need to carry multiple products on a technician's truck.
* Application as a spot, crack-and-crevice, void, banded spray or full yard treatment makes it flexible for technicians to use in any way needed.
* Controlled release of the active ingredient provides immediate and residual control lasting up to four months, giving customers a peace of mind and ensuring control will last through quarterly service protocols.

Tandem Insecticide Uses / Applications:
For use in, on, and around buildings and structures for the control of listed pests, including on lawns, ornamental trees, and shrubs around residential, institutional, public, commercial, and industrial buildings, and in parks, recreational areas, and athletic fields.

Mixing Instructions: Tandem is intended for dilution with water for application using hand-held or power-operated application equipment as a coarse spray for crack-and-crevice, spot, and surface treatments. Application equipment that delivers low volume treatments may also be used. A surface treatment of Tandem may be applied by using a paintbrush or other porous applicator attached to a handle. Fill applicator tank with the desired volume of water and add Tandem. Close and agitate before use in order to ensure proper mixing. Re-agitate applicator tank before use if application is interrupted. Mix only amount of treatment volume as required.

Tank Mixing: Tandem may be tank mixed with other currently registered pesticides unless expressly prohibited by the product label. To ensure compatibility, conduct a small volume mixing test with the other products. If mixed with sanitizers, add Tandem to the tank first. If other chemicals are added to the applicator tank, add Tandem last. Fill tank to desired volume and re-agitate while making applications. Observe all restrictions and precautions which appear on the labels of any tank-mix products.

Foam Applications: Tandem may be converted to foam and the foam used to treat structural voids to control or prevent pests including ants, wasps, wood-destroying insects, or other arthropods harboring in walls, under slabs, or in other void areas. Mix end-use dilution with manufacturer's recommended volume of foaming agent. For applications inside wall voids, expansion ratios of 15:1 or drier are suggested.

Fixed In-Wall Delivery Systems: Closed, in-wall insecticidal delivery systems such as permanently installed piping or flexible tubing may also be used to deliver diluted product to inaccessible areas. Generally, about one ounce of finished liquid product is needed per 35-40 ft. of tubing (based on 1/8"-diameter tubes). For these systems, use 0.065%-0.13% dilution rates as listed in the General Household Pests table.Prepare the finished product at the appropriate dilution, then inject into system as recommended by delivery system manufacturer.

Spot Treatments: Spot treatments may be made by spraying, misting, painting, or otherwise applying to surfaces, including a contiguous area no larger than 2 feet by 2 feet. For areas limited to spot or crack-and-crevice treatments, multiple spot treatments can be made to surfaces as long as 20% of the total target area is not exceeded.
