RESTRICTED USE PESTICIDE - Purchase requires a valid pesticide applicator's license. A copy of your license must be on file with Keystone Pest Solutions before purchase.

Batallion 10 WSP Insecticide from Atticus LLC is a bifenthrin-based insecticide/miticide formulated as a 10% wettable powder packaged in convenient water-soluble bags (WSP), making it a direct equivalent to Bifenture 10 WSP. Each water-soluble packet contains a pre-measured dose that dissolves directly in the spray tank - eliminating the need to weigh or measure powder, dramatically simplifying mixing, and qualifying as a closed mixing/loading system under the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) when used as directed. Batallion 10 WSP provides fast knockdown through contact and ingestion and delivers exceptional residual activity across a broad spectrum of pests and crops, including almonds, pistachios, citrus, grapes, caneberries, strawberries, brassicas, leafy vegetables, and more. As a Group 3A pyrethroid, it is a proven, flexible tool for IPM programs targeting Lepidoptera, plant bugs, mites, aphids, and many other economically damaging pests.

Key Benefits

• Water-soluble bag format simplifies mixing - pre-measured packets drop directly into the spray tank and dissolve completely, eliminating weighing and greatly reducing handler exposure during mixing; qualifies as a closed mixing/loading system under 40 CFR 170.607(d).
• Fast knockdown and exceptional residual control - bifenthrin acts through contact and ingestion, causing rapid paralysis of target insects, while its rainfast residual chemistry continues to protect crops long after the initial application.
• Broad-spectrum insect and mite control - controls Lepidoptera (navel orangeworm, codling moth, peach twig borer, armyworms, loopers), plant bugs, lygus, aphids, mites (twospotted, Pacific, carmine, banks grass), thrips, leafhoppers, whiteflies, stink bugs, weevils, and more across the full crop list.
• Wide crop label - registered for use on almonds, pistachios, walnuts, citrus, grapes, caneberries, strawberries, brassica vegetables, leafy vegetables, peanuts, and additional crops; also labeled for at-plant soil applications for grubs, wireworms, and maggots in certain crops.
• Flexible application methods - labeled for foliar spray (ground and aerial), in-furrow soil application, transplant water treatment, and other at-plant methods depending on crop; minimum air application rate is 10 gallons per acre.
• Cost-competitive generic - contains the same active ingredient (bifenthrin 10%) as Bifenture 10 WSP at an economical price point, with the same trusted mode of action and residual performance profile.
• Tank-mix compatible - may be tank-mixed with other labeled pesticide products; WSP mixing instructions take precedence over other product mixing sequences when combining; always perform a jar test before new combinations.
