Miteus® is active on all motile stages of mites - larvae, nymphs, and adults and provides contact activity on existing eggs. Miteus® stops mite feeding immediately and oviposition within hours after application. It also provides the added benefit of psyllid and leafhopper control. Miteus® is an excellent rotational product for resistance management.

Product Information

MITEUS® is used for the control of leafhoppers, mealybugs, mites, psyllids and whiteflies. MITEUS Miticide/Insecticide stops mite feeding immediately after application. MITEUS Miticide/Insecticide controls all motile stages of mites by inhibiting cellular respiration in the mitochondrion of cells which results in rapid cessation of all biological activities including feeding and reproduction. Mortality of mites can be observed within 3 to 7 days after intoxication.

MITEUS Miticide/Insecticide works primarily through contact action, so thorough spray coverage is necessary. Mix with sufficient water and apply as a foliar spray to obtain uniform coverage. Dense foliage or excessive growth will often prevent adequate coverage; adjust spray volumes accordingly. Treat plants when pests are immature or at a susceptible stage and populations are building, before crop damage occurs.

Directions For Use

Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the state or tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.


Agricultural Use Requirements

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard 40 CFR Part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.

For early entry into treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated such as plants, soil, or water, wear:

  • Coveralls
  • Protective eyewear
  • Chemical-resistant gloves (such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber, and/or Viton)
  • Shoes plus socks
Application Directions
  • Make applications immediately after the spray solution is prepared.
  • Apply with properly calibrated spray equipment.
  • Apply by ground or air using the recommended water spray volume found in the Directions for Use section of this label.
  • For aerial equipment, use larger droplet size (greater than 200 microns).
  • Thorough spray coverage is essential for mite and insect control.
  • For best results, apply when pest populations are beginning to build, before reaching economic thresholds. Consult your local agricultural advisor or state cooperative extension service for further information. 
Use Restrictions
  • Do not apply within 75 feet of fish-bearing waters.
  • Do not use products with the same mode of action in consecutive applications.
  • Do not plant rotational crops other than those listed on this label for 30 days following the last application of this product.
  • Do not apply through any type of irrigation system.
  • Do not use in greenhouse structures.
  • Do not apply by Alternate Row Middle (ARM) spray method.
Mixing Directions
  • MITEUS Miticide/Insecticide Alone - Shake well before using. Begin with clean equipment. Fill spray tank with ¾ of the amount of water needed for the intended application, and then turn on agitation. Pour specified amount of product on the surface of the water in the spray tank. Add the balance of the water to the spray tank with agitation running. Keep agitation running during filling and spraying operations. If spraying must be stopped before emptying the sprayer, resume agitation before spraying the remainder of the load. Mix only as much spray solution as can be sprayed within four hours. Storage and use of the previous day’s spray mix may result in reduced activity.
  • MITEUS Miticide/Insecticide Tank Mixtures - It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

Begin with clean equipment. Fill spray tank with ¾ of the amount of water needed for the intended application, and turn on agitation. If using a buffering agent, add after filling the tank with ¾ amount of water. Add the recommended amount of tankmix products in the following order while maintaining agitation:

  • Products in water-soluble packets
  • Wettable powders
  • Water-dispersible granulars and/or soluble powders
  • Flowable liquids (including MITEUS Miticide/Insecticide)
  • Emulsifiable concentrates
  • Adjuvants and/or oils
  • Remaining amount of water to achieve the desired level

Always follow the labeled mixing instructions of any partner products. Keep agitation running during filling and spraying operations. If spraying must be stopped before emptying the sprayer, resume agitation before spraying the remainder of the load. Storage and use of the previous day’s spray mix may result in reduced activity.

  • MITEUS Miticide/Insecticide Tank Mixture with Glyphosate - Begin with clean equipment. Fill spray tank with ¾ of the amount of water needed for the intended application, and turn on agitation. Add a minimum of 10 lbs ammonium sulfate (AMS) per 100 gallons water as a conditioner/buffering agent while maintaining agitation. AMS is necessary to achieve proper mixing compatibility between MITEUS Miticide/Insecticide and glyphosate products. AMS can be in a dry or liquid form. Next add the recommended amount of MITEUS Miticide/Insecticide and then add the recommended amount of glyphosate product while maintaining agitation. Always follow the labeled mixing instructions. Maintain agitation during filling and spraying operations. If spraying must be stopped before emptying the sprayer, resume agitation before spraying the remainder of the load. Storage and use of the previous day’s spray mix may result in reduced activity.

If you have no experience with the combination you are considering, conduct a test to determine physical compatibility. To determine physical compatibility, add the proportions of each chemical with the same proportion of water specified on the label as will be present in the chemical supply tank into a suitable container; mix thoroughly, and allow to stand for five minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be readily remixed, the mixture is considered physically compatible.
