Duraflex ZC Controlled Release Insecticide is a formulation used to control various pests. It targets armyworms, cutworms, sod webworms, annual bluegrass weevil (adult), banks grass mite, billbugs (adult), black turfgrass ataenius (adult), centipedes, crickets, earwigs, fleas (adults), grasshoppers, leafhoppers, mealybugs, millipedes, and mites. This product is applied to outdoor lawn and turfgrass. For best results with mites, apply with a non-ionic surfactant to enhance coverage and penetration into the turf canopy.
| Target pest | Location | Rate | Unit | Label notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Armyworms | Outdoor | 0.36 – 0.50 | fl. oz. | Higher application rates may be needed for grass maintained at heights >1 inch, (Up to 1 fl. oz. per 1000 ft2). During periods of high pest pressure, higher rates may also be required. DO NOT water immediately after application so the product remains on the leaf surface. Refrain from mowing for at least 2 days after application. Make applications as necessary to manage pests but not more often than every 7 days. |
| Cutworms | Outdoor | 0.36 – 0.50 | fl. oz. | Higher application rates may be needed for grass maintained at heights >1 inch, (Up to 1 fl. oz. per 1000 ft2). During periods of high pest pressure, higher rates may also be required. DO NOT water immediately after application so the product remains on the leaf surface. Refrain from mowing for at least 2 days after application. Make applications as necessary to manage pests but not more often than every 7 days. |
| Sod Webworms | Outdoor | 0.36 – 0.50 | fl. oz. | Higher application rates may be needed for grass maintained at heights >1 inch, (Up to 1 fl. oz. per 1000 ft2). During periods of high pest pressure, higher rates may also be required. DO NOT water immediately after application so the product remains on the leaf surface. Refrain from mowing for at least 2 days after application. Make applications as necessary to manage pests but not more often than every 7 days. |
| Annual Bluegrass Weevil (Hyperodes) (Adult) | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | time applications to intercept adults as they emerge from overwintering sites and migrate towards turfgrass. Use monitoring or scouting for timing of application or consult your State Cooperative Extension Service for more information regarding application timing in your area. |
| Banks Grass Mite | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | For Mites, apply with a non-inonic surfactant for best results to enhance coverage and penetration into turf canopy. Multiple applications may be necessary for optimal control. |
| Billbugs (Adult) | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | apply when adult billbugs are first observed. Use monitoring or scouting for timing of application or consult your State Cooperative Extension Service for information specific to your region. |
| Black Turfgrass Ataenius (Adult) | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | for optimal control use monitoring or scouting to determine timing of application or consult your State Cooperative Extension Service for information specific to your region. |
| Centipedes | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Crickets | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Earwigs | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Fleas (Adults) | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Grasshoppers | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Leafhoppers | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Mealybugs | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Millipedes | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Mites | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | apply with a non-inonic surfactant for best results to enhance coverage and penetration into turf canopy. Multiple applications may be necessary for optimal control. |
| Pillbugs | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Sowbugs | Outdoor | 0.50 – 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Ants | Outdoor | 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Chinch Bugs | Outdoor | 1.0 | fl. oz. | Apply after thorough watering of lawn/turf to enhance penetration of the thatch layer. Apply in a minimum of 2 gal of application volume per 1,000 ft2. The higher rate range (up to 2 fluid oz. per 1000 ft2.) may be required when pressure is severe. |
| Fleas (Larvae) | Outdoor | 1.0 | fl. oz. | refer to relevant section above. |
| Imported Fire Ants | Outdoor | 1.0 | fl. oz. | refer to relevant section above. |
| Japanese Beetle (Adult) | Outdoor | 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Mole Cricket (Adult) | Outdoor | 1-2 | fl. oz. | for best results, target small nymphs, before large nymphs and adults develop. During dry periods, irrigating prior to application will bring mole crickets closer to the surface where applications can be more effective. Surface activity is greatest at night, so late afternoon/evening applications are recommended. Apply at a minimum of 2 gallons of finished solution per 1,000 ft2. |
| Mole Cricket (Nymph) | Outdoor | 1-2 | fl. oz. | make applications as close to egg hatch as possible because small nymphs are most susceptible to insecticide applications. Focus on areas where adult activity was highest in the spring. For optimal control, use monitoring or scouting (such as soap flushes) to determine timing of application. Later in the year, when nymphs are larger, higher application rates and more frequent applications may be necessary to achieve adequate control. During dry periods, irrigating prior to application will bring mole crickets closer to the surface where applications can be more effective. Surface activity is greatest at night, so late afternoon/evening applications are recommended. |
| Stink Bugs | Outdoor | 1.0 | fl. oz. | |
| Ticks (including species that transmit Lyme disease) | Outdoor | 1.0 | fl. oz. | refer to relevant section above. |
| Crane Fly Larvae | Outdoor | 1.0 | fl. oz. | make applications when larvae are feeding on plant crowns. |
