General information
The insect "Omayt" with the highest speed of action fights with any active stages development of phytophagous mites, such as the larva, nymph and adult.
Acaricide does not affect insect eggs, however, the long-term effect of the drug (at least 3 weeks) contributes to the destruction of the hatched larvae from the treated eggs. An indisputable advantage of Omayta is that, apart from ticks, it also has an effect on other harmful insects, for example, on thrips.
The mechanism of action of insecticide on plants
The action of contact acaricide is most effective at temperatures above + 20 ° С, in dry warm weather, when the treated plants dry quickly and the risk of phytotoxicity of the drug is minimized. It is sufficiently resistant to the effects of ultraviolet radiation and retains its properties under long-term lighting.
The functionality of "Omayta" is not reduced by changing the humidity of the air, it quickly penetrates the wax coating of the leaves of plants, and therefore can not be washed away with water.
Omite - highly efficient organophosphorus drug, and to prevent the resistance of parasites to it, should alternate acaricide with other chemical groups.It also has an effective effect on direct contact and on evaporation.
The important point is the absence of the negative effect of "Omayta" on beneficial insects and predatory species of mites. Also not limited to the use of funds in the sanitary zone or in the vicinity of the fishery ponds.
Instructions for use
For the effective use of the drug "Omite" must follow the instructions for use.
During the application of the working solution to the plants should seek to cover the entire surface. The volume used for spraying the solution depends on the size of the culture and the available equipment. Starting treatment is better when the population of insects threshold of damage.
In indoor floriculture
Acaricide is most effective against spider mites, which affects indoor plants. Spraying should be carried out until all parts of the flower are completely wetted, or it can be processed by immersing it in a container with a solution (top down).
For maximum destruction of ticks and eggs laid by them, it is necessary to carry out processing in several stages:
- after the first wetting, up to 80% of parasites are destroyed;
- the second treatment takes place after 6 days, when the mites from previously laid eggs hatch;
- control cleaning of parasites is carried out even 5 days after the previous one.
- spray only extremely dry plants;
- in the case of persistent contamination of crops, it is necessary to alternate acaricides, in order to avoid addiction of ticks (these pests easily adapt to chemicals, therefore each subsequent generation partially develops immunity to the preparations and decreases with time the effect of insecticides);
- the treatment should be done before noon at the optimum air temperature (+ 21… + 25 ° С);
- after working with insecticide, wash hands and face thoroughly, rinse nose, mouth and throat with water.
For spraying pet pets usually use "Omait 30", with the active substance propargite (in the proportion of 3 grams per 1 liter of water).
In the garden
When spraying trees from ticks, the volume of the Omite solution is determined based on the size of the plants and the equipment available. It is necessary to take into account the toxicity of the drug in relation to certain types of trees and young shoots and leaves.
For spraying young apple trees, the minimum permitted dose of “Omayta” is 2 liters per 1 hectare, and young vineyards 1.5 liters per 1 hectare. Treating trees is carried out during the growing season, and cherries - after the harvest.
The standard rate of insecticide consumption for crops such as apples, plums and pears is 10-15 ml of substance per 5 liters of water. For citrus trees - 15-25 ml per 8-10 liters of water. For the treatment of grapevine using 7-20 ml of substance for 8-10 liters of water.And for cherry trees - 8-15 ml of substance per 8-10 liters of water.
In the garden
Put "Omayt" on the plants in dry, windless weather, that is, in conditions that contribute to its rapid absorption and drying.
The active effect of the drug lasts up to 3 days, and the residual protective effect lasts up to 4 weeks.
When processing vegetable crops, open ground, and also melon crops, 10-15 ml of substance per 5 liters of water are used. For spraying strawberries apply 7-12 ml of the substance to 8-10 liters of water.
It is possible to process greenhouse plants shortly before harvesting. The effect after treatment of the crops is quite stable and the plants remain protected until harvesting.
To prepare the solution, it is important to use only clean water. First, it is necessary to place half of the required amount of water and the full volume of "Omite" in the sprayer. Next, carefully stir the resulting mixture and add the remaining liquid.The whole spraying process should occur with constant stirring of the working solution.
When using the drug (in any area) it is necessary to apply it to the plants immediately after dilution and not to expose the solution to storage for more than two hours.
Omite cannot be combined with oil-containing preparations, as well as substances with a high alkaline reaction.
Security measures when processing
By hazard to bees, the substance is classified as low hazard (class 3), and for a person as dangerous (class 2), therefore, when treating the site, certain safety requirements should be followed.
Safety regulations
At the time of using the tool for the destruction of ticks should do the following:
- First of all, it is not recommended to use "Omite" during the flowering of crops.
- It is also important to avoid contamination by toxic substances in water bodies and drinking water sources.
- Do not dilute the product in dishes used for eating and cooking.
- At the time of processing plants is strictly not recommended to eat, drink or smoke.
- In the case of processing indoor plants must be removed from the premises of children and pets.
- When applying the solution on the crop, protective gloves and a respirator should be used.
- If possible, for the treatment of indoor plants, it is better to prepare the solution on the street and only after the weathering smell, bring it into the room.
- After all the work is done, wash your hands and face thoroughly with soap and rinse the mucous membranes well with water.
First aid for poisoning
After using a toxic remedy, signs of poisoning may appear, such as general malaise, weakness, nausea, and even vomiting. At the slightest manifestation of them, it is necessary to immediately get into the fresh air.

In case of getting the drug on the mucous membrane of the eyes, you need to rinse them under running water for at least 15 minutes.
If the victim is conscious, you should give him to drink activated charcoal or any other sorbent with plenty of warm water. Then provoke the gag reflex and clean the intestines from intoxication.In case of loss of consciousness of the victim, it is important to immediately call a doctor.
Omite: advantages of using the drug
Summarizing, we can distinguish the main advantages of use insecticide in the destruction of phytophage mites:
- the substance acts upon contact with plants, as well as by evaporation;
- the drug is effective at temperatures above + 20 ° C;
- the tool is suitable for combating the active stages of pests: from the larva to the adult;
- despite the fact that the pesticide has no effect on the eggs, it has a killing effect on the larvae formed from the treated eggs;
- the use of the product does not affect the natural population of beneficial insects, as well as predatory species of ticks.
