Albaugh - BIFENAMITE 2SC Ornamental Miticide - 1 QT BTL

BIFENAMITE 2SC is a professional ornamental miticide formulated for fast knockdown and extended residual control of spider mites and other labeled mite species on ornamentals, greenhouse crops, nursery stock, landscape plants, and non-bearing fruit trees.
