IMPORTANT: Read the entire Directions for Use, Precautions and
Disclaimer of Warranties before using this product. Bonide Termite

exhibits effective knockdown and long-lasting control against the
pests listed when used according to label directions.
Bonide Termite & Carpenter Ant Dust can be used for long-last-
ing pest control in and around homes and their immediate sur-
roundings. Permitted areas of use include but are not limited
to:
• houses • household greenhouses
• animal quarters • ornamentals
• apartments • mobile homes and recreational vehicles
Bonide Termite & Carpenter Ant Dust is intended for
applications with a hand duster or from the shaker
can, with a paintbrush or by other suitable means, to
hiding and runway areas and other places where
insects are found.
INDOOR USE
In living areas, make applications in such a manner as
to avoid deposits on exposed surfaces or introducing
the material into the air. To apply insecticide directly
into cracks and crevices, use a bulbous duster, or
other suitable equipment. Apply lightly and uniform-
ly to infested area. Pay particular attention to cracks
and crevices; service ducts; false floors and ceilings;
wall void; around electrical and telephone fittings and
equipment; around water and sewer pipes; under and
behind cabinets, refrigerators and sinks; around win-
dows and doorframes; along baseboards; in attics
and crawl spaces. The amount to be applied will vary
with the site but usually be in the range of 2-3 grams
of product per square yard (or 0.5 lbs. per 1000
square feet). Repeat as necessary to maintain ade-
quate control.
TERMITES, CARPENTER ANTS AND CARPENTER
BEES: Apply to voids or channels in damaged wood-
en members of a structure; to cracks, spaces or bear-
ing joints between wooden members of a structure;
or between such members and the foundation; and in
locations vulnerable to termite attack. This dust can
be applied in attics and crawl spaces to prevent entry
of drywood and formosan termites at a rate of 0.5 lb
per 1000 square feet of floor area. In these treat-
ments, all vents and blowers should be closed.
Inspect at 6 months and one year to ensure that
colony has been killed. Retreat if necessary.
The purpose of such applications of Bonide Termite &
Carpenter Ant Dust is to kill workers or winged forms
which may be present in the treated channels at the
time of treatment. Such applications are not a substi-
tute for mechanical alteration, soil treatment or foun-
dation treatment but merely a supplement. For active
termite infestations, get a professional inspection.
WASP AND BEES: It is generally advisable to treat
wasp and bee nests in the evening when insects are
less active and have returned to the nest. Wear pro-
tective clothing if deemed necessary to avoid stings.
Using hand or power duster (Actisol® or similar
equipment) or other suitable means, with extension
tubes if necessary, thoroughly dust nest, entrance
and surrounding areas where insects alight. Nests in
wall voids can be located by listening with your ear
against the wall. Drill a hole in the area, blow dust in
and reseal. For ground wasps, dust entrance and
surrounding areas. For best results check nests
carefully one or two days after treatment to ensure
complete kill, then remove and destroy nest to pre-
vent emergence of newly-hatched insects. If removal
is not feasible, retreat the nest, if necessary. Do not
use this product to treat overhead nests.
OUTDOOR USE
PERIMETER TREATMENT: Use as a residual treat-
ment for control of ants, bees, centipedes, cock-
roaches, crickets, firebrats, fleas, ground beetles,
millipedes, scorpions, silverfish, slugs, sowbugs,
spiders, ticks and wasps. Make a residual treatment
around windows and doors, porches, screens, eaves,
patios, garages, under stairways, in crawl spaces and
other areas where pests hide. To help prevent the
invasion of buildings and structures by the pests,
apply thoroughly and uniformly to the foundation and
crawl spaces where pests are active and may find
entrance.
