NOTE: Avoid contamination of public and private water supplies by following

these precautions. Do not allow a hose or any type of faucet extension to

reach into the termite chemical solution while filling or mixing this material with

water. Use anti-backflow or anti-siphonage equipment on all filling equipment.

These devices can be purchased at hardware or plumbing supply stores. Use

of anti-backflow equipment will help ensure that the user of this chemical will

not contaminate domestic water supplies. Refer to FHA (Federal Housing

Administration), state and local specifications for safe distances of treatment

areas from wells. Do not treat structures that contain cisterns, wells, French

drains, or sump systems. Soil in the vicinity of wells, cisterns or ponds should

not be treated. For those situations, contact the local Cooperative Extension

Service or consult a commercial pest control service. Do not treat soil that is

water saturated or frozen or in any conditions where runoff or movement from

the treatment area (site) is likely to occur.

Reapplication for subterranean termites should only be made when there

has been a disruption of the chemical barrier in the soil due to construction,

excavation, landscaping, etc. Reapplication should be made as a spot treatment

to those areas. Annual reapplication of the entire premises must be avoided.
