OUTDOORS
Remove all exposed food and cooking utensils. Cover all food handling surfaces or
wash thoroughly after treatment and before use. Do not use on edible crops. Do not
water the treated area to the point of run-off. 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 feet.
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.
Point sprayer away from face. Hold sprayer on a slight downward angle, approximately
12 inches from surface to be sprayed. Spray with wind if breeze is blowing. Do not
contaminate fish ponds or apply directly to water.
Ants: Spray around ant trails and hills. Spray around nests hidden under steps,
brickwork, concrete, etc. Break apart accessible nests and spray on and around debris.
Wasps, Mud Daubers*, Hornets, Yellow Jackets and Bees: Spray nests and other
surfaces where bees may rest. Aim spray at nest openings. Applications should be
made late in the evening when insects are at rest.
*Not for use on Mud Daubers in California.
TERMITES, CARPENTER ANTS AND CARPENTER BEES: (for localized control
only.) Apply this product to voids or channels in damaged wood of a structure or to
cracks, crevices and spaces in and between wooden portions of a structure or between
wood and the foundation, in locations vulnerable to attack such as crawl spaces. For
termites, the purpose of such applications is to kill workers or winged forms, which may
be present in the treated areas at the time of application. Not recommended as sole
protection against termites. For active infestations, get a professional inspection. Such
applications are not a substitute for mechanical alteration, soil treatment or foundation
treatment but are merely a supplement. For severe termite infestation, contact a
professional pest control operator in your area.
