How to use dinotefuran-containing household insecticide spray against aphids?

How to use dinotefuran-containing household insecticide spray against aphids? Dinotefuran spray is highly effective against aphids. Proper use can quickly control outbreaks.

Spray locations (most critical)

  • Leaf undersides — aphids prefer hiding on undersides; always lift leaves and spray the undersides.
  • Tender shoots and terminal buds — where aphids are most concentrated; spray thoroughly.
  • Flower buds and pedicels — aphids on flowers must also be sprayed.
  • Curled leaves — unfold curled leaves and spray inside.

Spraying technique

  • Hold nozzle 30-40 cm from leaves.
  • Spray from below upward to ensure leaf undersides are covered.
  • Spray extra where aphids are dense to ensure thorough wetting.
  • Don't miss the older leaves at the bottom of the plant — aphids may be there too.

Application frequency

  • Recheck 5-7 days after the first spray.
  • If any aphids remain, spot-spray again.
  • 2-3 consecutive treatments can basically bring aphids under control.
  • For severe outbreaks, spray every 5 days, 2-3 times consecutively.

Rotate spraying locations

  • Don't always spray the same spot.
  • Rotate between different locations to ensure full coverage.
  • Newly grown tender leaves should also be protected promptly.

Precautions

  • Systemic principle: dinotefuran is absorbed by the plant after leaf application; aphids feeding on the sap are poisoned. Even areas not directly sprayed (such as newly grown leaves) are protected for 7-14 days.
  • For vegetables, wait the recommended pre-harvest interval before harvesting.
  • Do not spray during flowering to avoid affecting pollination.
  • Wear gloves and a mask when spraying.
  • Store in a cool, dry place.
  • Protect natural enemies (ladybugs, lacewings); minimize use of broad-spectrum insecticides.
