It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

STOP Keep people and pets off 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. 

In New York State, this may not be applied to lawns within 100 ft of a coastal marsh or stream that drains into a coastal marsh. 

Mix 7½ fl oz with enough water to make 1 gallon.
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 localized control only. The purpose of such applications 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.

CARPENTER BEES
Mix ½ fl oz with enough water to make 1 gallon.
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. 

Mix ½ fl oz (1 Tbsp) in 1 gallon of water and apply as a continuous band of insecticide around building foundation and around windows, doors, eaves, vents and other areas to greatly reduce the potential for entry by crawling pests. For easier 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 a 3-foot band around the structure and upward along the foundation to 3 feet 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. One gallon will treat 250 sq ft of surface area. Repeat application every eight weeks.
OUTDOOR SURFACES USE: For control of ants**, centipedes, cockroaches, crickets, fleas, millipedes, mosquitoes, palmetto bugs, scorpions, sowbugs, pillbugs, spiders, deer ticks and waterbugs. Mix ½ fl oz (1 Tbsp) in 1 gallon of water and apply as a residual treatment to ornamental plants next to foundations of buildings and to surfaces of buildings, porches, screens, window frames, eaves, patios, garages and other similar areas where these pests are active. Repeat application every eight weeks.

**Argentine, southern, field, Allegheny mound, Florida carpenter, cornfield, honey, pavement, nuisance.

HOW TO MIX AND APPLY
STEP 1:  Determine size of spraying job. Measure the area to be sprayed. Make applications when insects first appear. Applications should be repeated only as directed to maintain control.

STEP 2:  Use a clean sprayer. Carefully measure and mix the amount of product and water as indicated in the directions. It is always a good idea to wear gloves when handling pesticides. Kitchen utensils such as measuring cups and measuring spoons should not be used for food purposes after use with pesticides.

UNDERGROUND INSECTS/THATCH-INFESTING INSECTS including blue grass billbug (adult), black turfgrass Ataenius (adult), chiggers, chinch bugs, dung beetle and hyperodes weevils (adult), European crane flies and mole crickets (nymphs and young adults). Mix 0.5 fl oz (1 Tbsp) in 1 gallon of water to treat 125 sq ft or 4 fl oz in 8 gallons of water to treat 1,000 sq ft. For subsurface insect control (mole crickets), water treated area with additional ¼ to ½ inch of water for optimum results.

SURFACE INSECTS including ants**, armyworms, crickets, cutworms, earwigs, fleas, lawn moths (sod webworms), millipedes, sowbugs, mites, spittlebugs, deer ticks (which may transmit Lyme Disease). Thoroughly wet down grass a few hours before applying. Mix ½ fl oz (1 Tbsp) in 1 gallon of water to cover 250 sq ft or 2 fl oz (4 Tbsp) in 4 gallons of water to cover 1,000 sq ft of lawn. Delay additional watering or mowing for 24 hours after application for optimum control of surface insects. For heavy infestations, use rate can be increased to 3 fl oz/1,000 sq ft.
