HAZARDS TO HUMANS (and DOMESTIC ANIMALS) 
Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid breathing vapors or 
spray mist. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Keep out of reach of children and domestic animals. Wash 
thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the 
toilet. Wear long sleeved shirt and long pants, socks, shoes, and gloves. Remove and wash contaminated clothing 
before reuse. 
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) 
Applicators and other handlers must wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants, waterproof gloves, shoes plus socks and 
chemical resistant headgear for overhead exposure. 
Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product's 
concentrate. Do not reuse them. Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If there are no such 
instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. 
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the

DRAFT Notification July 6, 2010; revised July 9, 2010 
User Safety Recommendations 
Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove clothing 
immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Remove PPE immediately after 
handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change 
into clean clothing. 
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 
This product is toxic to wildlife. This product is toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment. Do not apply this product 
while bees are actively visiting the treated area. Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is 
present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment 
washwater or rinsate. Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes. 
Ground Water Advisory: This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in 
ground water. This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where 
the water table is shallow. 
Surface Water Advisory: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially 
true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for 
reaching surface water via runoff for several days after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip 
between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will 
reduce the potential loading of acetamiprid from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by 
avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. 
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT: The interaction of many equipment factors determines the potential for spray drift. The 
applicator is responsible for considering all of these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift Is 
the responsibility of the applicator. 
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE FOR OUTDOOR USE: An important factor influencing drift is droplet size. Small 
droplets « 150 to 200 microns) drift to a greater extent than large droplets. Within typical equipment specifications, 
applications should be made to deliver the largest droplet spectrum that provides sufficient control and coverage. 
Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the 
air stream as much as possible and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure. 
Spray should be released at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in any manner inconsistent with its labeling. 
Read entire label before using this product. 
Ornamentals, vegetable transplant, and greenhouse-grown tomato use only; not for woodlands or forest management. 
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only 
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult 
the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. 
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This 
standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, 
and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and 
emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label 
about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry intervals. The requirements in this box only apply to 
uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. 
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours~ 
PPE required for early.entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves 
contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is coveralls, waterproof gloves and shoes plus 
socks.

FOR BASAL BARK TREATMENT OF TREES (ORNAMENTAL OR NON-BEARING FRUIT AND NUT) 
TriStar 30 SG may be applied as an external basal bark application to ornamental and non-bearing fruit and nut 
trees for control of borers (such as Flathead Apple Borer), scale insects (such as Calico Scale, Gloomy Scale, 
Azalea Bark Scale) and Hemlock Wooly Adelgids in hard to spray or environmentally sensitive areas. This 
application involves wetting the bark of the tree starting from a height of approximately 8 feet downwards to the 
exposed root flair with a directed spray to completely wet the application area. Depending on the specific bark 
characteristics, use 3-4 fluid ounces of spray per inch Diameter Breast Height (DBH at 4.5 feet) of the intended 
target. 
Application Instructions 
1. Depending on insect target, treatments may begin at bud break through full leaf expansion in early to mid­
Spring. Consult your local extension service recommendations for the target pest. Make applications as 
required for preventative or curative management of pest. 
2. Using a low pressure (10-25 PSI), small volume handcan or backpack sprayer, mix 4-8 oz of TriStar 30 
SG per gallon of water with an organo-silicate adjuvant according to the adjuvant product instructions. 
Apply as a full coverage spray starting at the top of the application zone and working downwards to the 
root flair. One gallon should treat approximately 36-42 total inches of treatment DBH depending on bark 
surface. 
3. Do not apply to wet bark, or during rainfall, or if rain is expected within 12 hours after application. 
4. Do not apply as a drench to the soil. 
FOR TREE INJECTION APPLICATION TO ORNAMENTAL OR NON-BEARING FRUIT AND NUT TREES 
TriStar 30 SG may be applied by injection directly into ornamental or non-bearing fruit and nut trees for control of 
borers (such as Flathead Apple Borer), scale insects (such as Calico Scale, Gloomy Scale, Azalea Bark Scale) 
and Hemlock Wooly Adelgids in hard to spray or environmentally sensitive areas using the Arborjet IV, Wedgle 
Direct-Inject or similar compatible systems. 
General Directions: 
Depending on the injection equipment used, multiple injection sites may be required. To determine the initial 
number of injection holes, measure the DBH using a standard forestry tape measure. For circumference, divide the 
measurement by six (6) to determine the number of holes needed. For Diameter, divide the measurement by two 
(2) to determine the number of holes needed. Initial injection sites should be in active sapwood, evenly spaced 
around the tree at the root buttress region and avoiding the root valleys. Follow manufacturer instructions for the 
specific device for proper injection practices and to minimize tree damage.

Application Instructions 
1. Depending on insect target, treatments may begin at bud break through full leaf expansion in early to mid­
May based on local extension service recommendations. Make applications as required for preventative or 
curative management of pest. 
2. Mix 2.8 - 3.6 grams (% to 1 Y2 teaspoons) per inch DBH of target tree in sufficient water for use following 
the manufacturer's instructions for the specific injection device. 
FOR USE IN GREENHOUSE-GROWN TOMATO PRODUCTION 
TriStar 30 SG Insecticide may be applied by injection into drip-irrigation or micro-irrigation (spaghetti tube or emitter) 
systems, soil drenching, or by hand-held or motorized calibrated or motorized calibrated irrigation equipment directed to 
the plant roots for control of various insect pests on mature tomato plants grown in greenhouses. Application should be 
made only to mature tomato plants grown in non-soil media such as rock wool, vermiculite, perlite, or other soil-less 
media. Many cultivars of vegetables show good safety to TriStar 30 SG Insecticide. However, some cultivars may 
exhibit sensitivity and therefore treatment of a few plants is recommended prior to treating an entire greenhouse.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 
Comments 
Make the application when 
insect pressure exceeds 
threshold levels. 
Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, the use of 
this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area. Avoid treating these 
insects with consecutive applications of insecticides within the same class of chemistry. Resistance to other 
neonicotinoids, such as Merit and Marathon may result in resistance to TriStar 30 SG Insecticide. Therefore, to 
minimize the potential for neonicotinoid resistance, rotate with other classes of insecticides. Consult your agricultural 
advisor for resistance management strategies and recommended pest management practices for your area. 
ENDANGERED SPECIES NOTICE: Under the Endangered Species Act, it is a Federal Offense to use any pesticide 
in a manner that results in the death of a member of an endangered species. 
Consult your local county bulletin, County Extension Agent, or Pesticide State Lead Agency for information concerning 
endangered species in your area.
