ISOMATE® Mist

ISOMATE Mist works with Pacific Biocontrol’s battery powered aerosol emitter for delivering pheromone. Each emitter comes with four AA batteries installed and is pre-programmed. Temperature sensor ensures efficient release of pheromone. An internal clock is pre-set to the local time zone.

Trouble Shooting• If the left LED light does not flash amber and the emitter does not spray pheromone, then remove can and re-insert.

• If problem persists then contact your local distributor or a Pacific Biocontrol representative for more information.

Set Up and Activation

Caution! Point Emitter Away From Face When Setting Up And Activating

Activation Occurs Upon Can Insertion!

1. Insert can into emitter until it locks into position.

2. Left LED light will then flash amber and the emitter will spray once.

3. Following activation, LED will flash amber at 3-second intervals to indicate the emitter is on and ready for deployment in the orchard.

4. Hang ISOMATE Mist in tree with wire hanger or parachute cord.

Application of Mist

1. ISOMATE Mist application should be made prior to moth emergence in spring.

2. Place activated misters as high as possible in the top third of the tree canopy using hangar or parachute cord.

3. Knowing orchard topography, prevailing wind direction and historical pest pressure helps to optimize mister placement.

4. Distribute misters throughout the orchard in a grid pattern at one or two per acre. A square acre is 209 ft by 209 ft. Misters should therefore be placed approximately 209 ft. apart to achieve one per acre. Place the first mister near orchard border. Continue placing misters every 209 ft. For walnut orchards refer to UC IPM placement guidelines at: http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/r881300211.html

Maintenance: User must monitor and maintain performance of emitter during its life in the orchard.Aerosol emitter and Mist can are designed to last one season. Recycle or dispose of materials at the end of the season.
