PREMISE AND PERIMETER PEST CONTROL:

LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% is for use as a general surface (nonfood/nonfeed areas), crack and crevice, or spot treatment in, on, and around buildings and structures and their immediate surroundings, and on modes of transport. Areas of use include, but are not limited to, industrial buildings, houses, apartment buildings, laboratories, buses, greenhouses (non-commercial), stores, warehouses, vessels, railcars, trucks, trailers, aircraft (cargo and other non-cabin areas only), schools, nursing homes, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, livestock/poultry housing, pet kennels, food granaries, food grain mills and food manufacturing, processing, and servicing establishments.

Nonfood/nonfeed areas of food/feed handling establishments include garbage rooms, lavatories, floor drains (to sewers), entries and vestibules, offices, locker rooms, machine rooms, boiler rooms, garages, mop closets, and storage (after canning or bottling).

For indoor applications, LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% can be reapplied at 21-day intervals if necessary.

All outdoor applications, if permitted elsewhere on the label, must be limited to spot or crack-and-crevice treatments only, except for the following permitted uses, if allowed elsewhere on the label:

● Applications to soil or vegetation, as listed on the label, around structures;

● Applications to lawns, turf, and other vegetation, as listed on the label;

● Applications to the side of building, up to maximum height of 3 feet above grade;

● Applications to underside of eaves, soffits, doors, or windows permanently protected from rainfall by a covering, overhang, awning or other structure;

● Applications around potential pest entry points into buildings, when limited to a surface band not to exceed one inch in width;

● Applications made through the use of a coarse, low pressure spray to only those portions of surfaces that are directly above bare soil, lawn, turf, mulch or other vegetation, as listed on the label, and not over an impervious surface, drainage or other condition that could result in runoff into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters, or surface waters to control occasional invaders or aggregating pest.

Application is prohibited directly into sewers or drains, or to any area like a gutter where drainage to sewers, storm drains, water bodies, or aquatic habitat can occur. Do not allow the product to enter any drain during or after application.

Mixing Instructions

Dilute LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7%with water for application using hand-held or power-operated application equipment as a coarse spray for crack and crevice or spot and general surface (non-food/nonfeed areas only) treatments. Application equipment that delivers low volume treatments, such as the Micro-Injector® or Actisol® applicator, may also be used to make crack and crevice or spot and general surface treatments. Fill applicator tank with the desired volume of water and add LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7%. Close and shake before use in order to ensure proper mixing. Shake or reagitate applicator tank before use if application is interrupted. Mix only amount of treatment volume as required. LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% may be applied by using a paintbrush or other porous applicator attached to a handle as a general surface treatment.

Tank Mixing

LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% may be tank mixed with other currently registered pesticides unless expressly prohibited by the product label. A small volume mixing test with the other products is recommended to ensure compatibility. If other chemicals are added to the applicator tank, LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% should be added last. If mixed with EC formulations, use within 24 hours. Fill tank to desired volume and continue to agitate while making applications.

LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% may be tank mixed with an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR). Observe all restrictions and precautions which appear on the labels of these products.

Foam Applications

LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% may be converted to a foam and the foam used to treat structural voids to control or prevent pests including ants, bees, termites (above ground only), wasps, or other arthropods harboring in walls, under slabs, or in other void areas.

Ants: Apply to any trails around doors and windows and other places where ants may be found. For best results, locate and treat nests. Where ants are trailing inside, apply as a residual surface treatment to active areas such as baseboards, corners, around pipes, in and behind cabinets, behind and under refrigerators, sinks, furnaces and stoves, cracks and crevices. When combining baits and residual surface insecticides, apply surface insecticides in cracks and crevices, along baseboards, and infested surfaces and outside barrier treatments. Use baits in other areas that are untreated by residual insecticides; also see Outdoor Surfaces Use.

Bedbugs (Adults and Instars): Clean floors and surfaces by vacuuming. Apply as a coarse, low-pressure spray to harborage areas including crevices, baseboards, loose plaster, behind bed frames and headboards, beneath beds and furniture, and to bedsprings and bed frames. Do not apply LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% to furniture surfaces or mattresses. Only treat those surfaces with EPA registered insecticides or exempt products that allow such direct applications. Mattresses and boxsprings should be encased in covers that effectively cut off any possible surviving bedbugs. Infested bedding, drapes and clothing can be treated with registered or exempt products, or placed in plastic bags, or laundered, and dried at high temperatures. Applicators may use monitoring devices such as NightWatch Bedbug Monitor to determine success of eradication efforts.

Cockroaches, Crickets, Earwigs, Firebrats, Silverfish, and Spiders: Apply as a coarse, low pressure spray to areas where these pests hide, such as 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 since LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% does not provide instant knockdown. Protective equipment may be required for the applicator. For best results, treat bee, wasp and hornet nests late in the day when most insects will be present. Allow 2-3 days for colony to die and retreat if necessary.

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 beetle, Cigarette beetle, Confused flour beetle, Lesser grain borer, Red flour beetle, Rice weevil, and Saw-toothed grain beetle): 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, foodstuff, or other items. Any foodstuff 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 barrier 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. For best coverage 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 (Such As Poultry Houses): To control adult litter beetles, apply LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% 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, such as 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.

1 For cockroaches, the recommended rate for maintenance treatments is 0.015% and for clean-out treatments is 0.03%. In addition, more frequent applications may be necessary on concrete surfaces. For control of severe infestations, use 0.06% rate.

2 For outdoor use only and use 0.03% rate.

3 For control of LIGHT beetle infestations, use 0.03% rate.

4 For residual control, use 0.06% rate.

5 In all states except California, rates for flies may be increased to 0.06% when environmental conditions are severe and/or populations are high.

6 For clean-out/severe infestations, use 0.06% rate.

Application Within Food Handling Establishments

For places other than private residences in which exposed food is held, processed, prepared, or served including, but not limited to, 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 should 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 such as 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. Control is enhanced when interior and exterior perimeter applications are made in and around the livestock, poultry, and pet housing structures. Normal cleaning practices of the structure also must be followed along with applications of LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% to effectively control the crawling and flying insect pests listed in the table.

For unoccupied areas of livestock barns or housing structures, 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 applications of LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% in areas where animals 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.

DO NOT apply directly to sewers or drains, or to any area like a gutter where drainage to sewers, storm drains, water bodies, or aquatic habitat can occur, except as directed by the label.

DO NOT water the treated area to the point of run off.

DO NOT make applications during rain.

Outdoor Surfaces Use

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

All outdoor applications must be limited to spot or crack-and-crevice treatments only, except for the following permitted uses:

(1) Treatment to soil or vegetation around structures;

(2) Applications to lawn, turf, and other vegetation;

(3) Applications to building foundations, up to a maximum height of 3 feet.

Other than applications to building foundations, all outdoor applications to impervious surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways, patios, porches and structural surfaces (such as windows, doors, and eaves) are limited to spot and crack-and-crevice applications only.

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 use of LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% on termites is 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, soil treatment or foundation treatment but are considered supplemental. This product is not recommended as sole protection against termites. For active termite infestations, get a professional inspection.

Premise Perimeter Barrier 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.

Example Calculation: To apply the mid-rate of LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% at a volume of 5 gal./1,000 sq. ft., mix 4 oz. of concentrate in 50 gallons of water.

The percent active ingredient in the finished LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% dilution can be calculated with the following formula:

(mL needed to add) X (9.7% active in concentrate)

_______________________________________

(gal. finished dilution) X (3,785 ml/gal.)

% active in dilution

(Example: 4 oz. in 50 gals. is 120 mL, times 9.7% equals 1,164, and 50 gal. times 3,785 is 189,250. Dividing 1,164 by 189,250 equals 0.006% active in the tank dilution).

NOTE: Do not use water base sprays of LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7%in conduits, motor housings, junction boxes, switch boxes, or other electrical equipment because of possible shock hazard. For best results, thoroughly wash out sprayer and screen with water and detergent before using LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7%. LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% has not stained or caused damage to painted or varnished surfaces, plastics, fabrics, or other surfaces where water applied alone causes no damage. However, treat a small area and allow to dry to determine whether staining will occur.

LET TREATED SURFACES DRY BEFORE ALLOWING HUMANS AND PETS TO CONTACT SURFACES.

Application to ornamentals should be started prior to the establishment of high insect pest populations. Make reapplications as necessary to keep pest populations under control, using higher rates as pest pressure increases.

Apply at 7-day intervals if retreatment is necessary. More frequent treatments should be limited to spot treatments. Be aware, as plants grow, new foliage will be unprotected until treated.

Good spray coverage is necessary to provide the most effective level of control.

Addition of a spreader-sticker at recommended rates may enhance the control of insects on certain species of ornamentals having waxy, hard to wet foliage.

For spot treatments use 0.5 fl. oz. LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% per 1 - 2.5 gals. of water.

Consult your state university or local Cooperative Extension Service office for specific pest control application timing in your area.

Scale: Thoroughly cover the plant with LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% spray, including trunks, stems, twigs, and foliage for control of scale insects (crawler stage).

Application to turf should be started prior to the establishment of high insect pest populations and significant turf damage. Make reapplications as necessary to keep pest populations under control, using higher rates as pest pressure increases.

Apply at 7-day intervals if retreatment is necessary. More frequent treatments should be limited to spot treatments.

For spot treatments, use 0.5 fl. oz. of LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% per 1 - 2.5 gals. of water.

Surface Insect Control (armyworm, cutworms, fleas, etc.): For best results, apply LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% at recommended rates in 2 - 5 gals. of water per 1,000 sq. ft. The use of a spreader-sticker may be useful if high rainfall amounts are forecast, otherwise the addition of adjuvants is not necessary under normal conditions for surface insect control in turf. Delay watering or mowing for 12 - 24 hours for optimum control of surface-feeding insect pests.

Thatch Inhabiting Insect Control (chinch bugs, billbugs, etc.): For best results, apply LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% at recommended rates in 2 - 10 gals. 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 the LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% into the thatch layer. If irrigation is not available, then use high water application rates for optimum results.

Subsurface Insect Control (mole crickets, grubs, etc.): For best results, apply LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% at recommended rates in 4 - 10 gals. 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 LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% to turf wet with dew, rain or irrigation. Water-in immediately after application with 1/4 - 1/2 inch of water for optimum results.

Fire Ant Control: Treat individual mounds with a drench application using a watering can. Use 0.5 fl. oz. of LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% per 2.5 gals. 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. For best results, apply in early morning or late evening hours. Applications can be made 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. For best results, apply LambdaStar UltraCap 9.7% at recommended rates in 2 - 5 gals. of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Higher volumes applied result in better coverage and will improve control.

1 Not for use on mature adult mole crickets and 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 (gallon) 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 oz.) in 50 gallons of water.
