Apply to ant trails, cracks, and crevices where ants are entering the structure, feeding or travelling. Remove food sources.

FLYING AND STINGING INSECT CONTROL: Dilute product at the rate of up to 1 to 2 fluid ounces per gallon (use lower rate for maintenance service and higher rates for active infestations) and apply as a spot treatment in areas where insects rest, mate, or enter the structure such as window frames, doors, light fixtures, and other surfaces that attract flying insects. Apply spray to nests of stinging insects in the early morning or late evening when the highest number of insects will be at the nest site. (Use higher rates for stinging insects.)

TICKS AND FLEAS: Dilute product at the rate of up to 2 fluid ounces per gallon and apply until area is damp. Treat infested areas such as pet beds and resting areas, carpeted floors, cracks, voids, crevices, and other harborage areas nearby the infested areas. Do not spray this product directly on pets. Thoroughly clean, or replace, all pet bedding after infestation is eliminated. Pets in infested quarters should be treated with an appropriately labeled on-animal treatment.

BED BUGS: Dilute product at the rate of up to 2 fluid ounces per gallon. Remove bedding and take the bed apart. Treat the interior framework, joints and cracks in the bed frame. Treat the mattress and box spring, paying particular attention to tufts, folds and edges, and the interior framework of the box spring. Remove wall-mounted head boards and treat the back side. Treat picture frames, moldings, hollow furniture legs, cracks and crevices, along baseboards, and any areas with visible signs of infestation, including rugs and carpet. Treat upholstered furniture by removing or lifting (if possible) the cushions and treating the undersurface. Treat the interior framework, cracks and joints of the furniture, and the folds, tufts and edges of cushions and other upholstered areas. Do not treat toys and stuffed animals with product.

FOGGING: Dilute product at the rate of up to 2 to 4 fluid ounces per gallon as a space spray through conventional fogging equipment or misting systems (lower rates are recommended in food facility applications) and apply at the rate of 1 to 3 fluid ounces per 1000 cubic feet filling the area with mist or fog.

FOOD PROCESSING PLANTS, INCLUDING FEDERALLY INSPECTED: All food and food products should be removed or covered during treatment when using product as an area space spray/fog in food processing plants. Do not apply as a space spray/fog while facility is in operation. Cover all food processing surfaces and equipment during treatment or clean with detergent and rinse thoroughly with potable water before facility operations commence. Also cover any sensitive surfaces (plastics, storage containers, vinyl, etc). Close and shut off air conditioning and ventilating equipment. All persons must vacate the treated area. Ventilate treated areas before reoccupying. Food processing operations may continue when this product is applied as a crack and crevice treatment only, with care and in accordance with the directions and precautions provided herein. Treat all accessible cracks and crevices using a compressed air sprayer at the rate of 1 to 2 fluid ounces per gallon directly before fogging for maximum effect.

Note: For oil dilutions that are applied in food handling establishments, a deodorized petroleum oil which conforms to CFR 21 (especially section 172.884) is required (such as Exxon Isopar M, Ashland Low Odor Base Solvent or equivalent). Tank mix applications must be made in accordance with the more restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label dosages may be exceeded. This product cannot be tank mixed with any product with label prohibitions against such mixing. Fogging oils may create slippery conditions on surfaces. Retreat if reinfestation occurs.

OUTDOOR USE

APPLICATION RATES FOR OUTDOOR STRUCTURAL PESTS

PERIMETER TREATMENTS AND RECREATIONAL AREAS: Dilute product at the rate of 1 to 8 fluid ounces per gallon or 1 to 8 fluid ounces in sufficient water to treat 1000 sq ft (use lower rate for maintenance service and higher rates for active infestations) and apply until area is thoroughly wet. Apply product to a band of soil and vegetation up to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to buildings. Treat the building foundation to a height of 2 to 3 feet. Make specific efforts to spray areas where pest species congregate such as, but not limited to, landscape timbers, mulch, waste receptacles, dumpsters, downspouts, entry points around water pipes and utility penetrations, windows, shutters, porches and porch lights, doors, vents, overhangs, and eaves. Void applications can be made behind veneers and siding, into stone foundations, into block voids and structural voids, wall voids, under slabs, stoops, porches or to the soil in crawlspaces, and other similar voids. Repeat as necessary.

MOUND DRENCH METHOD - FOR CONTROL OF FIRE ANTS AND OTHER MOUNDING ANTS: Dilute 1 to 2 fluid ounces of product per gallon. Apply 1 to 2 gallons directly to each mound until it is wet. In addition apply product in a 4 foot diameter circle around the mound to control foraging workers and newly mated queens. Use the higher volume for mounds larger than 12 inches. For best results, apply early morning or during late evening hours.

MOSQUITO AND FLY CONTROL - OUTDOOR YARD OR BARRIER TREATMENT: To control adult mosquitoes and other flying insects, dilute product at the rate of 1 to 4 fluid ounces per gallon or 1 to 4 fluid ounces in sufficient water to treat 1000 sq ft (use lower rate for maintenance service and higher rates for active infestations) and apply until area is thoroughly wet. Treat sites such as trees, shrubbery and other vegetation where mosquitoes or flies may rest, harbor, or breed. Treat any low areas where water has a tendency to to pool. Trees, shrubs, and vegetation around stagnant pools, marshy areas, ponds, shorelines and other areas that collect water may be treated. For best results thoroughly treat the underside of leaves and vegetation, where mosquitoes are most likely to harbor. Repeat as necessary.

FOGGING: For ULV (cold fog) and thermal fog applications, apply undiluted or dilute with light mineral oil or another suitable non-phytotoxic diluent. Use up to 0.25-1.5 fl oz of product per 1000 sq ft of ground surface area, or up to 10-60 fl oz per acre. Use higher rates for heavy vegetation and/or when target insect populations are high. For best results, apply when insects are most active and when conditions are conducive to keeping the fog close to the ground.

MOSQUITO CONTROL AND OTHER BITING INSECTS - AUTOMATIC SPRAYING SYSTEMS: To control house flies, horn flies, stable flies, horse flies, mosquitoes and gnats, dilute product concentrate immediately before use at 0.25 to 1.5 ounces per gallon of water (Use lower dilution rates for preventative and maintenance applications). Agitate while adding water and maintain light agitation while system is in use. In automatic spraying or misting systems used for mosquito and fly control, solutions of product may be stored for up to one month, as long as the system has adequate agitation. To dispense diluted concentrate through an automatic spraying system, adjust spray nozzles to deliver 1 ounce of liquid per minute at a maximum of 2,000 cubic feet of space per nozzle. Automatic spraying systems must not be programmed to release pesticides where food or feed is directly exposed.

STINGING INSECTS: Dilute product at the rate of 2 to 4 fluid ounces per gallon or 2 to 4 fluid ounces in sufficient water to treat 1000 sq ft (use lower rate for maintenance service and higher rates for active infestations) and apply until area is thoroughly wet. Treat nest, nest entrances, harborage sites, and areas where stinging insects, land, walk, or rest. Applicators should wear protective equipment if applications are made when stinging insects are active. For best results, apply early morning or during late evening hours.

USE ON LAWNS, TURF GRASS, AND TURF: Dilute product at the rate of 1 to 6 fluid ounces per gallon or 1 to 6 fluid ounces in sufficient water to treat 1000 sq ft (use lower rate for maintenance service and higher rates for active infestations) and apply until area is thoroughly wet. Exceeding rates may result in phytotoxicity of treated plants.

USE ON ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS: Dilute product at the rate of 1 to 2 fluid ounces per gallon or 1 to 2 fluid ounces in sufficient water to treat 1000 sq ft (use lower rate for maintenance service and higher rates for active infestations) and apply until foliage is thoroughly wet. Exceeding rate may result in phytotoxicity of treated plants. A small-scale test is recommended to verify safety to ornamental plants. While phytotoxicity testing has been carried out on ornamental plants under various environmental conditions, and no phytotoxicity has been observed, certain cultivars may be sensitive to the final solution.
