It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. For use around the home only. Do not use on pets.

STOP People and pets should not be allowed in treated areas until spray has dried.

  • Do not water the treated area to the point of runoff.
  • Do not make applications during rain.
  • 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 lawns, turf and other vegetation
  3. Applications to building foundations, up to a maximum height of 3 ft. 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.
  • 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. 
Apply a continuous band of insecticide around building foundation and around windows, doors, utility line entrances, eaves, vents and other areas to reduce the potential for entry by crawling pests. 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 3 ft wide around the structure and upward 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. 1.33 gallons will cover 1,050 sq ft.
Treat infested areas and areas likely to be infested, such as wood surfaces, voids and tunnels in damaged wood, behind veneers, in structural voids (between stud walls and spaces between wood and foundations), along cracks, along crawl spaces and around outside buildings, porches, woodpiles, wooden fences and decks. Kills exposed subterranean termites**, dampwood termites**, drywood termites**, carpenter ants, ambrosid beetles, death hunter beetles, false powderpost beetles and powderpost beetles.

For Carpenter Bees
Treat active tunnels where carpenter bee activity has been observed. Leave the entrance hole open for 48 hours after application to allow the bees to contact and distribute the insecticide throughout the nest galleries. Then plug the entrance hole with a piece of wooden dowel coated with carpenter’s glue or wood putty. Plugging the hole will prevent re-infestation of old nesting tunnels and reduce the chances of wood decay.
