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 re-
quirements 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 ex-
ceptions 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.
Exception: If the product is applied by drenching, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the
treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated.
PPE required for early entry to 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 is:
• Coveralls
• Chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof material such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber, natural
rubber, polyethylene, polyvinylchloride (PVC) or viton. If you want more options, follow the instructions for category A on an EPA chemical-
resistance category selection chart.

5” NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural
pesticides (40 CFR part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries or green-
houses and sod farm production.
Keep children and pets off treated area until dry.
APPLICATION TO TURFGRASS
LESCO BANDIT 2F Insecticide can be used for the control of soil inhabiting pests of turfgrass, such as Northern & Southern masked chafers, Cy-
clocephala borealis, C. immaculata, and/or C. lurida; Asiatic garden beetle, Maladera castanea; European chafer, Rhizotroqus majalis; Green
June beetle, Cotinis nitida; May or June beetle, Phyllophaga spp.; Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica; Oriental beetle, Anomala orientalis; Billbugs,
Spherophorus spp.; Annual bluegrass weevil, Hyperodes spp.; Black turfgrass ataenius, Ataenius spretulus and Aphodius spp. European Crane
Fly Tipula paludosa, and mole crickets,. scapteriscus spp. LESCO BANDIT 2F Insecticide can also be used for suppression of cutworms and
chinch bugs.
The active ingredient in LESCO BANDIT 2F Insecticide has sufficient residual activity so that applications can be made preceding the egg
laying activity of the target pests. High levels of control can be achieved when applications are made preceding or during the egg laying
period. The need for an application can be based on historical monitoring of the site, previous records or experiences, current season adult
trapping or other methods. Optimum control will be achieved when applications are made prior to egg hatch of the target pests, followed by
sufficient irrigation or rainfall to move the active ingredient through the thatch.
Do not apply when turfgrass areas are waterlogged or the soil is saturated with water. Adequate distribution of the active ingredient cannot
be achieved when these conditions exist. The treated turf area must be in such a condition that the rainfall or irrigation will penetrate vertically
in the soil profile.
RESTRICTION: Do not apply more than a total of 1.6 pints (0.4 lb of active ingredient) per acre per year.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT FOR USE ON TURFGRASS
Apply LESCO BANDIT 2F Insecticide in sufficient water to provide adequate distribution in the treated area. The use of accurately calibrated
equipment normally used for the application of turfgrass insecticides is required. Use equipment which will produce a uniform, coarse droplet
spray, using a low pressure setting to eliminate off target drift. Check calibration periodically to ensure that equipment is working properly.

APPLICATION TO ORNAMENTALS
LESCO BANDIT 2F Insecticide is for use on ornamentals in commercial and residential landscapes and interior plantscapes. LESCO BANDIT 2F
Insecticide is a systemic product and will be translocated upward into the plant system from root uptake. To assure optimum effectiveness,
the product must be placed where the growing portion of the target plant can absorb the active ingredient. The addition of a nitrogen containing
fertilizer, where applicable, into the solution may enhance the uptake of the active ingredient. Application can be made by foliar application or
soil applications; including soil injection, drenches, and broadcast sprays. Foliar applications offer locally systemic activity against insect pests.
When making soil applications to plants with woody stems, systemic activity will be delayed until the active ingredient is translocated throughout
the plant. In some cases, this translocation delay could take 60 days or longer. For this reason, make application prior to anticipated pest in-
festation to achieve optimum levels of control.
RESTRICTION: Outdoor applications cannot exceed a total of 1.6 pints (0.4 lb of active ingredient) per acre per year.
ANT MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
Use LESCO BANDIT 2F Insecticide to control aphids, scale insects, mealybugs and other sucking pests on ornamentals to limit the honeydew
available as a food source for ant populations. LESCO BANDIT 2F Insecticide applications can be then be supplemented with residual sprays,
bait placements or other ant control tactics to further reduce the pest population.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT FOR FOLIAR APPLICATIONS
LESCO BANDIT 2F Insecticide mixes readily with water and may be used in many types of application equipment. Mix product with the required
amount of water and apply as desired dependent upon the selected use pattern.
When making foliar applications on hard to wet foliage such as holly, pine, or ivy, the addition of a spreader/ sticker is recommended. If con-
centrate or mist type spray equipment is used, apply an equivalent amount on the area sprayed, as would be used in a dilute application.
LESCO BANDIT 2F Insecticide has been found to be compatible with commonly used fungicides, miticides, liquid fertilizers, and other commonly
used insecticides. Check physical compatibility using the correct proportion of products in a small jar test if local experience is unavailable.
RESTRICTION: Do not apply through any irrigation system.

Apply specified dosage as foliar spray as needed after petal-fall is complete.
For control of rosy apple aphid, apply prior to leafrolling caused by the pest.
For first generation leafminer control, make first application as soon as petal-fall is complete. Greatest leafminer control will result from the
earliest possible application. For second and succeeding generations of leafminer, optimal control is obtained from applications made early in
the adult flight against egg and early instar larvae. A second application may be required 10 days later if severe pressure continues or if gen-
erations are overlapping. A single application may result in suppression only. LESCO BANDIT 2F Insecticide will not control late stage larvae.
For San Jose Scale, time applications to the crawler stage. Treat each generation.
For late season (preharvest) control of leafhopper species, apply LESCO BANDIT 2F Insecticide while most leafhoppers are in the nymphal
stage.
For optimal control of mealybug, insure good spray coverage of the trunk and scaffolding limbs or other resting sites of the mealybug.
RESTRICTIONS
• Follow application restrictions for Non-Agricultural Uses on page 3 to protect bees and other insect pollinators.
• Do not apply more than 6.0 fl oz per acre in a single application.
