SureFire Spectrum 200SC Systemic Insecticide & Termiticide 200g/L Imidacloprid

SureFire Spectrum 200SC: Systemic Insecticide and Termiticide with 200g/L Imidacloprid

SureFire Spectrum 200SC is a systemic insecticide and termiticide containing 200g/L imidacloprid in a water-based suspension concentrate. Made by PCT International, it works both as a broad-spectrum insecticide for sap-sucking pests and as a registered treatment for subterranean termites, across ornamentals, roses, fruit trees, vegetables, turf, cotton and around buildings.

As a systemic, imidacloprid is taken up through the foliage and moves through the plant's tissues, so it controls sucking pests from the inside out and gives long residual protection. Because it also has extended residual life in the soil, a single application can provide season-long control of many pests.

It's a Group 4A insecticide, which is worth keeping in mind when you're rotating chemistry to manage resistance across a spray program.

Insect Pest Control

Spectrum 200SC controls a broad range of sap-sucking pests, including aphids, azalea lace bugs, silverleaf whitefly, thrips, longtailed mealybug, hibiscus flower beetle, harlequin bug, bronze orange bug, Fuller's rose weevil, psyllids and soft scale on ornamentals, roses and various fruit trees and vegetables. It also controls aphids, mirids and brown flea beetle on cotton, and specified aphids on other listed crops.

Termite Control

Spectrum 200SC is registered to control all species of subterranean termites, including Mastotermes darwiniensis, in both new and existing buildings, with registration for up to 5 years of protection. It's non-repellent, so it binds to the soil and stays undetectable to termites. Rather than avoiding the treated zone, termites move through it and pick up the active, which supports colony control and elimination. It applies with standard termite treatment equipment and offers strong value against comparable liquid and non-repellent termiticides.

How to Use

Spectrum 200SC can be applied as a foliar spray, soil drench or stem injection, depending on the pest and situation. For soil drenches, clear away mulch and dead vegetation, moisten the soil first, apply the mixture, then water it in well. For termite work, follow the label's soil barrier and application rates precisely, because an incomplete or breached treated zone can allow concealed termite entry. Always mix and apply at the label rate for your target pest and situation.

Safety

Spectrum 200SC is dangerous to bees. Do not spray any plants in flower while bees are foraging. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, wear the protective clothing and equipment stated on the label, and do not contaminate streams, rivers, waterways or drains. Observe any withholding periods on edible crops, and always read and follow the full label directions and safety instructions before use.
