DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling

CheckMate® CRS is a behavior modifying biochemical product (pheromone) which functions by mating 

disruption. It is to be used for control of the California Red Scale (Aonidiella aurantii) on citrus crops such as 

oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, clementines, tangerines and any other crop where the California Red Scale 

is a pest.

METHOD OF APPLICATION: The rate of application is 180 dispensers per acre. Do not exceed 150 grams of 

active ingredient per acre per year. Distribute dispensers uniformly across the orchard. Apply dispensers to a 

branch in the inner part of the canopy, at mid-height. Choose branches approximately one inch thick to secure 

placement. Alternative structures such as wires can also be used for applying the dispensers. If there is a 

persistent and prevalent wind, the upwind edge may require reinforcement. Place monitoring traps in the treated 

area before handling. Monitor treatments carefully. Reseal containers immediately after use. Do not use from 

damaged, punctured or unsealed containers.

APPLICATION NOTES: Apply dispensers shortly before the onset of the male flight of the first generation that is 

being targeted. The best results have been achieved by deploying before the onset of the flight of males of the 

second generation. This product only affects adult males and will have no effect on females, eggs or nymphs. 

Monitor adequately the populations and conduct supplemental insecticide applications during the season if 

needed. Use monitoring and degree-day models to establish the timing of supplemental insecticides.
