The water-dispersible granules are mixed with lukewarm water and applied as a spray to animal housing and associated premises. One 2.2-lb jar treats approximately 2,250 sq. ft. and provides an average residual of about six weeks, making it practical for routine pest suppression on farms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Agita 10 WG work in animal housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgita 10 WG uses two complementary components: a sugar-based attractant containing (Z)-9-tricosene that lures male and female house flies, and thiamethoxam to deliver a lethal dose on contact or ingestion. Because it acts both by contact and stomach action, flies are drawn to treated areas and later die, reducing local populations. The formulation is suited for spot and perimeter treatments where flies congregate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eActive ingredient: thiamethoxam (neonicotinoid) for contact and ingestion control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttractant: (Z)-9-tricosene and sugar components target both sexes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplication: mix granules with lukewarm water and spray in targeted zones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoverage: one 2.2-lb jar treats ~2,250 sq. ft.; residual averages six weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere should I apply this insecticide on my farm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply Agita 10 WG in and around barns, poultry houses, swine facilities, and other animal housing areas where flies and darkling beetles congregate. For house flies, focus on walls, ceilings, window frames, feeding areas, and shaded spots; for darkling beetles, target under feeders, around bedding, and along structural cracks.
