  • Asked by Robert from Hartford, Wi
    08/07/2011
    Q
    What quantities of Acephate 75 do I mix per gallon of water for home sprayer uses?
    The fire ant killer -- acephate 75% -- can be used as a systemic insecticide in non-food applications but the can's label is not helpful in determining how many teaspoons, for example, to use per gallon of water in various garden applications.
    A
    Acephate 75 was reviewed by the EPA and they had to change their product label for only the fire ant uses listed. Any other use would now be considered an "off label" use and we are prohibited from giving directions for off label uses. You most likely can find the old label by searching "Acephate 75 product label" online.

  • Asked by Ruth from Floresville, Texas
    07/17/2015
    Q
    Will Acephate 75 kill leaf-cutter ants? How long does it take to work?
    A

    Acephate 75 is not labeled for controlling leaf cutter ants so would not be recommended.

    Leaf cutter ants can be a difficult pest to get rid of. The colonies are large and the ants make their own food so poison baits only have limited effects on this species of ants. According to several university websites Maxforce Complete Bait Granulescontaining hydramethylnon are some what effective, though they will usually eliminate only about 30% of a large colony in one treatment and will need to be reapplied several times.  Deltagard granules is one of the only products actually labeled for leaf cutter ants. The product label recommends treating the mound directly and lightly watering the granules in. Again it may take several treatments to get the desired results. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to see if they have any recommendations for products that have worked for other people in your region.

  • Asked by Chuck
    06/23/2011
    Q
    What is the correct mixture of Acephate 75 SP for drench application to control aphids?
    Yes, I have read the label and it isn't there, however, I have found it in the metric system on a European site. I need it in ounces and gallons.
    A
    The reason you cannot find this information on the product label is because Acephate 75 is no longer registered for use as a systemic on plants in the United States. The EPA made this change in the last year or two. We recommend that you use a product that is labeled for use a systemic such as Criterion 75 WSP, Dominion 2L, or Merit.
