The formulation is labeled for control of ants (including imported fire ants), mole crickets such as these and other insect pests.


United Phosphorus Inc. has received California Department of Pesticide Regulation approval for use of UP-Star Gold granular insecticide and UP-Star nursery granular insecticide. Both contain bifenthrin, the same active ingredient as the previously registered UP-Star SC and UP-Star Gold Nursery Insecticide/Miticide.

The granular insecticide is for use by commercial applicators on lawns and in landscaped areas and perimeters around residential, institutional, public, commercial and industrial buildings as well as parks, recreational areas and athletic fields. The formulation provides a non-volatile product alternative to help California users reduce volatile organic compound emissions.

The nursery granular insecticide is for use on balled and containerized nursery stock, including ornamental trees, shrubs, plants, flowers, herbs and non-bearing fruit and nut trees and bushes, as a quarantine treatment against imported fire ants.

UP-Star nursery granular insecticide also may be used on ornamental plants outside the scope of USDA guidelines to control fungus gnat larvae, mealybugs, black vine weevil, root weevil larvae and white grubs.
