Avaunt Insecticide works mainly via ingestion, but it has some contact activity. It is soft on most beneficial, predator insects. It is not systemic but has some limited translaminar movement. Good coverage is important. Avaunt may need to be re-applied to cover new leaves. Minimum spray interval is 5-days. Include a pesticide synergist, piperonyl butoxide (PBO), to enhance control. Use enough water carrier to obtain good coverage via aerial or ground. Chemigation applications offer greater penetration and coverage; but use only 0.1-to-0.2-inch water. Make only two consecutive applications before rotating to an insecticide with a different MOA.

2 Efficacy ratings denote the relative ability of a pesticide to control its target. The ratings are E = excellent, G = good, F = fair/suppression; P = poor, and ND = no data. Efficacy ratings are based on the inherent toxicity of the pesticide against its target, the likelihood that the target will contact or ingest the product as applied, duration of impact on the target, and undesired effects, such as negative impacts on natural enemies that could lead to future pest outbreaks.
3 Rate per acre per application. Refer to the product label for maximum use rate per season.
4 Reentry interval.
5The minimum pre-harvest interval. Some products do not list PHI.
Note: always read and follow the directions on the pesticide label.
