Cockroaches, Crickets, Earwigs, Firebrats, Silverfish, Spiders and Stink Bugs: Apply as a coarse, low pressure spray to areas where these pests hide, including baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, attics and eaves, cabinets, behind and under refrigerators, sinks, furnaces and stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices; also see Outdoor Surfaces Use.

Bees, Flies, Mosquitoes, and Wasps: Apply directly to walls, ceilings, window screens, and other resting areas as a residual surface treatment. May be used inside residential buildings as well as in and around carports, garages, and storage sheds; also see Outdoor Surfaces Use. Use caution when treating nests of stinging insects as this product does not provide instant knockdown. Protective equipment for the applicator may be required. Treat bee, wasp and hornet nests late in the day when most insects will be present. Allow 2-3 days for the colony to die and repeat after 21 days, if necessary.

Yards or other frequented areas enclosed by landscaping can benefit from the creation of a mosquito barrier to reduce invading mosquitoes by the treatment of perimeter vegetation. Apply this product at specified rates in 2-5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq ft.

Carpenter Bees: Apply coarse spray to thoroughly wet wood surfaces where bees have been previously active or to provide protection against further damage. Apply early in the spring to prevent bees from invading wood. When bees have infested wood, surface applications can help control embedded larvae and bees that emerge from the wood.

Pantry Pests (i.e., Carpet Beetles, Cigarette Beetles, Confused Flour Beetles, Lesser Grain Borers, Red Flour Beetles, Rice Weevils, and Saw-toothed Grain Beetles): Apply to cupboards, shelving, and storage areas. Remove all utensils, uncovered foodstuffs (or any having original package opened), and shelf paper before making application. Allow treated surfaces to dry and cover shelves with clean paper before replacing any utensils, foodstuffs, or other items. Any foodstuffs accidentally contaminated with treatment solution should be destroyed.

Boxelder Bugs, Centipedes, Millipedes, Pillbugs, and Sow bugs: Apply around doors and windows and other places where these pests may be found or where they may enter premises. Treat baseboards, storage areas, and other locations. Apply treatments to prevent infestation as described below; also see Outdoor Surfaces Use.

Fleas and Ticks: To control nuisance fleas and ticks (e.g., dog ticks), apply to kennels, yards, runs, and other areas where pets may frequent. To control ticks, apply using a coarse fan spray to vegetation, brush, branches, rock walls, and other areas near habitation where ticks may harbor or frequent. Treat entire area rather than making spot treatments, and retreat as necessary to maintain control. Do not apply to pasture or cropland, and do not allow animals and people access to treated areas until the deposit has dried. Applications can begin in the spring and can continue until frost to control both larvae and adult ticks; also see Outdoor Surfaces Use.

Cluster Flies: Apply in late summer or early fall before flies are observed alighting on surfaces. Apply thoroughly on siding, under eaves, and around windows and doors, paying particular attention to south-facing surfaces, but do not allow runoff to occur. Heavy precipitation prior to frost may require retreatments to maintain protection. In winter and spring, when flies become active and are emerging, interior crack and crevice and void treatments can help reduce the infestation, along with ULV or general surface application in infested attics or unoccupied lofts.

Litter Beetles (Darkling, Hide, and Carrion Beetles) and Flies In Animal Housing (Including Poultry Houses): To control adult litter beetles, apply this product to walls and floors at cleanout, before reintroduction of animals. This will suppress beetles that escaped earlier treatment and will help delay onset of future infestations. Pay attention to areas where beetles frequently occur, Including walls, supports, cages, stalls, and around feeders. To help control flies, apply a directed application to horizontal surfaces and overhead areas and allow to dry before reintroduction of animals; also see Livestock/Poultry Housing Structures and Pet Kennels.

Termites (above ground only)

0.2 fl oz (6 mL)

0.4 fl oz (12 mL) per gallon of water

(0.015-0.03% AI)

This product may be used on termites to kill workers or winged reproductive forms which may be present in treated channels at the time of treatment. These applications are not a substitute for mechanical alteration to control subterranean termites, soil treatment labeled termiticides, or fumigation for extensive infestation of drywood termites or other wood-infesting insects, but are considered supplemental. This product is not recommended as sole protection against termites. For active termite infestations, get a professional inspection.

¹ For cockroaches, the recommended rate for maintenance treatments is 0.015% and for clean-out treatments is 0.030%. For control of severe infestations, use 0.060% rate.

² For outdoor use only and use 0.030% rate.

³ For control of LIGHT beetle infestations, use 0.030% rate.

⁴ For residual control, use 0.060% rate.

⁵ In all states except California, rates for flies may be increased to 0.060% when environmental conditions are severe and/or populations are high.

6 For clean-out/severe infestations, use 0.060% rate.

Application Within Food Handling Establishments

For places other than private residences in which exposed food is held, processed, prepared, or served including areas for receiving, storage, packing (canning, bottling, wrapping, boxing), preparing foods, edible waste storage and enclosed processing systems (mills, dairies, edible oils, syrups), and serving areas: Use as a crack and crevice or spot treatment in and around both food and nonfood areas. Apply in small amounts directly into cracks and crevices, using equipment capable of delivering a pin stream of insecticide, in points between different elements of construction, between equipment and floor, openings leading to voids and hollow spaces in walls, equipment and bases. Food contact surfaces and equipment should be cleaned with an effective cleaning compound and rinsed with potable water before using.

Limit individual spot treatments to an area no larger than 20% of the treated surface. Individual spot treatments may not exceed two sq ft. Take extreme care that the product is not introduced into the air. Avoid contamination of food and food processing surfaces.

Application Within Food Serving Areas

For facilities where foods are served, such as dining rooms: Apply as a crack and crevice or spot treatment to selective surfaces including baseboards, under elements of construction, and into cracks and crevices. Avoid treating surfaces likely to be contacted by food. (Do not apply when facility is in operation or foods are exposed.) Food must be covered or removed in area being treated. Do not apply directly to food or allow applications to contaminate food.

NOTE: Application of this product in the Food Areas and/or Food Serving Areas of Food Handling Establishments other than as a spot and/or crack and crevice treatment is not permitted. Use of application equipment such as the Micro-Injector or Actisol™ applicator in food areas should be limited to crack and crevice treatment only.

Livestock/poultry Housing Structures And Pet Kennels

Apply as a general surface (including directed sprays) and/or crack and crevice treatment. Make interior and exterior perimeter applications in and around the livestock, poultry, and pet housing structures. Normal cleaning of the structure must also be done along with applications of this product to effectively control the crawling and flying insect pests listed in the table.

With the exception of cattle and calves that may be present, only apply this product to livestock barns or housing structures when unoccupied by animals. Apply to floors, vertical, and overhead surfaces where crawling or flying insect pests are or may be present. Feeders, waterers, and feed carts should be covered before application to prevent contamination. Do not apply to milk rooms or feed rooms. Pay attention to animal areas including stanchions, pipes, windows and doors, and areas where insect pests hide or congregate. Exterior applications to south facing walls and foundation perimeters can help prevent interior infestations of flying and crawling insect pests.

For poultry houses, apply to floor area (birds grown on litter) or to walls, posts, and cage framing (birds grown in cages). Application should also be made into cracks and crevices around insulation. Reapply after each growout or sanitization procedure. Indoor control can be enhanced by making perimeter treatments around the outside of building foundations to prevent immigrating adult beetles. Apply in a uniform band 1 - 3 ft up and 2 - 6 ft out from foundation. Maintaining a year-round treatment program will prevent background populations from reaching problem levels.

RESTRICTIONS:

● DO NOT make interior applications of this product in areas where animals, except cattle and calves are present in the facility. Allow treated surfaces to completely dry before restocking the facility.

● DO NOT make applications to any animal feedstuffs, water, or watering equipment.

● DO NOT contaminate any animal food, feed, or water in and around livestock, poultry, or pet housing when making applications.

Outdoor Surfaces Use

For control of ants, bees, centipedes, cockroaches, crickets, fleas, flies, millipedes, mosquitoes, scorpions, sowbugs, stink bugs, pillbugs, spiders, termites (above ground only), ticks, wasps, and other similar perimeter arthropod pests.

Apply with either hand or power application equipment as a residual treatment to ornamental plants next to foundations of buildings and to surfaces of buildings, porches, screens, window frames, eaves, patios, garages, refuse dumps, and other similar areas where these insect pests are active.

For termites, this type of application is not intended as a substitute for soil treatment labeled termiticides or mechanical alteration to control subterranean termites, or fumigation for extensive infestation of drywood termites or other wood-infesting insects. The purpose of such application of this product for termites is to kill workers or winged reproductive forms which may be present in treated channels at the time of treatment. Such applications are not a substitute for mechanical alteration, soil treatment or foundation treatment but are merely a supplement. This product is not recommended as sole protection against termites. For active termite infestations, get a professional inspection.

Perimeter Treatments

Apply a continual band of insecticide around building foundations and around windows, doors, service line entrances, eaves, vents, and other areas to reduce the potential for entry by crawling pests. Before application, remove debris and leaf litter from next to the foundation, cut back vegetation and branches that touch the foundation, and move or rake back rocks, deep mulch, or other potential pest harborage next to the foundation. Apply the band up to 10 ft wide around the structure (or according to state regulations governing commercial pest control) and upwards along the foundation to 3 ft and around windows, doors, and roof overhangs. Apply as a coarse spray to thoroughly and uniformly wet the foundation and/or band area so that the insecticide will reach the soil or thatch level where pests may be active.

Amount of concentrate is dependent upon pest species (see pest table and comments), infestation levels, and service interval desired.

Thatch Inhabiting Insect Control (Chinch Bugs, Billbugs, etc.): Apply this product at specified rate in 2-10 gallons of water per 1,000 sq ft. The use of a nonionic wetting agent, penetrant or similar adjuvant is recommended at label rates. Lightly irrigate after application with up to 1/2 inch of water to move this product into the thatch layer. If irrigation is not available, then use high water application rates.

Subsurface Insect Control (Mole Crickets, Grubs, etc.): Apply this product at specified rates in 4-10 gallons of water per 1,000 sq ft. The use of a nonionic wetting agent, penetrant or similar adjuvant is strongly recommended following label rates. Use the highest water application rates possible with your sprayer. Apply this product to turf wet with dew, rain or irrigation. Water-in immediately after application with 1/4 - 1/2 inch of water.

Fire Ant Control: Treat individual mounds with a drench application using a watering can. Use 0.50 fl oz of this product per 2.5 gallons of water. Thoroughly soak each mound and a 3 ft diameter circle around each mound. Gently apply the mixture to avoid disturbing the mound. Disturbing the mound may cause the ants to migrate and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Apply in early morning or late evening hours. You may make applications on a monthly basis to maintain protection of treated areas.

Mosquito Control: Apply as a general spray around landscape plantings, turf, and building foundations to control mosquitoes. Apply this product at specified rates in 2 - 5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq ft.

¹ Not for use on chinch bugs in New York state.

* Example: To treat the listed turf pests at the 7 mL per 1,000 sq ft rate, determine the gallons of dilution per 1,000 sq ft needed to adequately cover the turf. At a 5 gallon per 1,000 sq ft dilution, take the 7 mL and divide it by the 5 (gallons) to get 1.4 mL to be added per gallon. For a 50 gallon tank, therefore, this would be 1.4 mL X 50 = 70 mL (or 2.5 fl oz) in 50 gallons of water.
