Shuttle Miticide

University trials prove nothing knocks out mites faster than SHUTTLE Miticide.

Even when scouted, mite populations can explode quickly and damage ornamental plants. That's why the fast knockdown activity of SHUTTLE Miticide is vital.

SHUTTLE delivers powerful contact activity for quick control of damaging mites at all life stages.

Plus, it continues to work through ingestion to keep mite populations in check for three weeks or more.

Only SHUTTLE 15 SC Miticide offers you all of these benefits.

Exceptional broad-spectrum control of mites, including all spider mites

Rapid knockdown combined with long-lasting residual activity for three weeks or more

Control of mites at all life stages (eggs, nymphs and adults)

A unique mode of action with no known cross-resistance, ideal for IPM and resistance management

General Application Guidelines for SHUTTLE 15 SC Miticide

Due to its unique mode of action, SHUTTLE does not show cross-resistance with other commonly used miticides. Since it is relatively harmless to predacious mites and beneficial insects, SHUTTLE 15 SC Miticide is the perfect choice for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and resistance management programs.

However, in order to reduce selection pressure which can lead to the development of resistance, the following strategies are recommended:

Incorporate scouting and IPM techniques into your insect/mite control program.

Ensure thorough spray coverage of all foliage.

Always apply SHUTTLE at the recommended rates and according to label recommendations as soon as threshold infestations are observed.

While SHUTTLE protects plant surfaces, new growth renders plants unprotected and will require subsequent applications. Thus it is important to scout and monitor new plant growth and re-apply SHUTTLE at signs of new infestations.
