- Spillage
Extinguish any ignition sources. Exclude non-essential people from the area. Wear protective clothing and prevent material from entering waterways. Absorb spill with inert material such as soil, sand, etc, and place in a waste container. Wash area with water and detergent, and absorb with further inert material. Dispose of safely to a suitable landfill.
- Application Methods
Obtain uniform spray coverage using conventional ground, orchard and aerial equipment. Knapsack: Use 10 mL Ambush per 10 liters of water and apply as a high volume spray to run off. Motorized Knapsack: For concentrate spraying, use 30 mL Ambush per 10 liters of water. When applied indoors, application using hand gun spray equipment is not permitted.
- Mixing
Ambush mixes readily with water. Add the required amount into the partly filled tank, then add the remaining water while agitating. The spray mixture should be kept agitated before and during spraying, and before spraying after a stoppage.
