DO NOT USE INSIDE DWELLINGS. For use around existing structure, not for pre-
construction use. For post-construction treatment around residential buildings. Mix
5 fl. oz. of this product per 1 gallon of water (makes a 0.5% water emulsion).
Apply as specified below. One treatment should last up to 5 years if treated soil is
left undisturbed.
Kills and controls subterranean termites. Chemicals for soil treatment are used to
establish a barrier against termites. The chemical emulsion must be adequately
dispersed in the soil to provide a barrier between the wood in the structure and the
termite colonies in the soil. Barriers may be established in the soil on the outside
perimeter of the house by trenching using a rate of 4 gallons of emulsion per 10
linear feet per foot of depth. A complete termite barrier may require treatment with
another EPA registered product to the inside perimeter of the foundation and to other
interior critical areas. For these situations, contact a licensed pest control operator for
treatment. Do not use under slabs, in crawl spaces, or indoors. If termites are found
within the house or structure, contact a licensed pest control operator for treatment.
SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES
Dilute 2 tablespoons of this product in 1 gallon of water. Apply 1 gallon of solution as a
gentle rain to each fire ant mound using a sprinkler can. Thoroughly wet the mound and
surrounding area to a 4 foot diameter. For best results, apply in cool weather, 65-80˚F,
or in early morning or late evening hours. Treat new mounds as they appear. Do not
disturb the mound prior to treatment. If possible, treat all mounds in the vicinity and
treat all colonies which may not as yet have constructed a mound. Larger quantities
of solution can be prepared for multiple mound treatments. Equipment to deliver the
diluted product as a gentle rain at the rate of 1 gallon per mound is still required. Do not
use equipment that produces a pressurized spray as pressurized sprays may disturb
fire ants and cause migration, reducing product effectiveness.
