DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

RESTRICTIONS
Strains of saw-toothed grain beetle and flour mite resistant to organophosphorus insecticides are widespread and resistant strains of rust-red flour beetle have also been found. Where strains resistant to products containing organophosphorus compounds are present, ACTELLIC SMOKE GENERATOR No. 20 is unlikely to give satisfactory control of these pests.

Avoid using smoke generators in windy weather.

A minimum of 20°C is required for best results.

This product is to be used only in accordance with the recommendations and instructions given on the labels provided with this pack. Use in any other circumstances is entirely at user’s risk.

PESTS CONTROLLED
Pests of stored products.

ACTELLIC SMOKE GENERATORS ARE not intended to be used alone. Their purpose is to improve the performance of insecticidal structural surface treatments. They work by causing agitation of insect and mite pests in inaccessible areas and encourage their movement into treated areas.

ACTELLIC SMOKE GENERATOR No. 20 should only be used after an insecticidal spray treatment.

SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Timing
When to use: Grain storage premises should be disinfested in the late spring or early summer. In heavily infested premises, repeat six weeks later or just before harvest.

Latest time of application – before harvest

Rates of Use
Maximum individual dose – one generator per 570 m3
Maximum number of treatments – two.

APPLICATION
Pre-treatment: The use of ACTELLIC SMOKE GENERATOR No. 20 should always be preceded by thorough cleaning of the grain store by sweeping or by the use of an industrial vacuum cleaner. Burn all sweepings. Spray all surfaces within the store including floor, roof, insides and outsides of storage bins with a structural insecticidal spray. Also spray conveyors, elevators and other handling equipment before using the smoke generator.

Igniting the generator: Evacuate all people and livestock and close all ventilators, windows and doors (except exit door) before treatment. Block all known leakages. If more than one generator is required, distribute them evenly on the floor before lighting. Shake each generator sufficiently to loosen the contents before opening. Remove the lid and light the exposed tip of the fuse with a match or lighter. Do not remove the fuse igniter. The fuse will smoulder and take about 20 seconds to light the generator. Complete ignition rapidly working towards the exit. When igniting more than one generator or in situations where it is not possible to vacate the treatment area immediately after ignition, wear suitable protective clothing (coveralls) and suitable respiratory equipment (half mask to at least EN 136 fitted with filter cartridge to at least EN 143 P3, or equivalent). Leave the store closed for 24 hours and ensure that the doors are locked and suitable warning notices displayed. Ventilate thoroughly for at least one hour before working in the store. Do not re-enter the store within 4 hours of ignition unless wearing a suitable respirator.
