● Use high rate for severe infestations, faster knock down, and longer residual.

HOW TO APPLY

(Also see APPLICATIONS FOR OUTDOOR PERIMETER PESTS)

● Perimeter Treatment: To help prevent infestation of structures, treat area adjacent buildings in a band up to 10 feet wide. Also treat the building foundation to a height of 2 to 3 feet in areas where pests are active or can find entrance.

● Apply just enough dilution to adequately cover the area without excessive dripping or runoff.

Volume can vary depending on the surface type treated. For example, mulch requires more spray than bare soil.

If mulch is heavy, rake it back to expose soil before treating.

● Avoid contact with treated surfaces until dry.

WHEN TO APPLY

● When pests are seen or found.

● Re-apply every 7 to 10-days if needed.

Ants

Locate and treat ant nests, if possible. Follow trails of foraging workers, check under objects near the structure, and inspect other likely nest sites. If ants are nesting in the soil, thoroughly drench or inject the nest and surrounding soil. Treat ant trails around windows and doors, along sidewalks, or other areas where seen. Apply a perimeter treatment as described above.

Bees, Wasps, Yellow Jackets, Hornets

Use Rate: 0.1% concentration.

Make pin stream applications directly to the nests. To help avoid stings treat nests in the evening when the insects are inside the nest. For best results, check nests within one or two days to ensure complete kill. Remove and destroy treated nests to prevent emergence of newly hatched insects, secondary pest problems, and possible staining from honey. If removal is not possible, retreat nests if necessary.

Boxelder Bugs

Apply directly to boxelder bugs that have congregated around doors and windows and similar areas where they may enter structures. Apply perimeter treatment as described above. For best results, treat infested trees early in the season. Tree spraying may require ornamental license-check with your local regulator.

Centipedes, Millipedes, Pillbugs, Sowbugs

Apply perimeter treatment to reduce the number of insects from entering the structure.

Thoroughly treat mulched areas. Reduce moisture areas from around the structure.

Fire Ants

Use Rate: 0.1% concentration

Thoroughly drench or inject the entire mound. When using injection treatment, you must treat the bottom of the mound. Apply dilution using a downward and upward motion of the injector tool. For complete distribution, inject in several points throughout the mound. Treat new mounds as they appear.

Do not use in pastures or areas of food crop production.

Fleas & Ticks

Make a perimeter treatment, concentrating on areas where pets rest or run. For ticks, treat likely harborage areas like along paths, tall grass and other vegetation. For best results, treat the entire area where ticks could be present. Begin treating in the spring.

Ticks may be re-introduced from surrounding areas by host animals. Continue treating until frost to control both larvae and adult ticks.

Flies

Use Rate: 0.05% to 0.1%

Apply low-volume mist or spray to outside surfaces of buildings, porches, patios, garages, fences, and other areas where flies rest.

CLUSTER FLY: Treat in late summer or fall, just before flies begin looking for winter shelter. Spray siding, eaves, around windows and doors, window screens, and attics. To help reduce infestations, treat cracks and crevices, attics and other indoor winter hiding places.

Note: Cluster flies may appear during winter warm spells, while snow is still on the ground.

Mosquitoes

Spray around landscape plants, turf and ground cover, under decks, around building foundations and other places where mosquitoes may rest.

Scorpions

Treat around piles of firewood and other areas where scorpions may hide. When possible, remove piles of materials that can harbor the pests. Apply a perimeter treatment.

Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.

Storage

● Store in a cool, dry place and in such a manner as to prevent cross contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food, or feed.

● Protect from freezing.

● Store in original containers and out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked storage area.

● Handle and open container in a manner as to prevent spillage.

Pesticide Disposal:

● Pesticide wastes are hazardous.

● Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal law.

● If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.

Container Disposal:

● Non-refillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling, if available. Offer for reconditioning if appropriate. Triple rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into the application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times.

● Do not use container in connection with food, feed, or drinking water.

● Completely empty container into application equipment. Triple rinse, or equivalent.

● Dispose of container by offering for recycling or reconditioning. Or puncture and dispose of container in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or, if allowed by state and local authorities by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.

Spills:

If the container is leaking or material is spilled for any reason or cause, carefully sweep material into a pile. Refer to Precautionary Statements on label for hazards associated with the handling of this material.

● Do not walk through spilled material.

● Dispose of as directed for pesticides above.
