INDOOR USE

LISTED CRAWLING INSECTS AND SPIDERS

Apply as a crack and crevice or spot treatment to hiding places such as cracks and crevices, moist areas, openings around pipes and sinks, under refrigerators and manholes. Treat floors, walls, under pallets, behind shelves and drawers. Apply directly on insects in these locations where possible.

PERIDOMESTIC COCKROACHES

Apply at the 0.10% rate, as a crack and crevice or spot treatment to hiding places such as cracks and crevices, moist areas, openings around pipes and sinks, under refrigerators and manholes. Treat floors, walls, under pallets, behind shelves and drawers. Apply directly on insects in these locations where possible.

ANTS (EXCLUDING HARVESTER ANTS)

CARPENTER ANTS

Locate source of infestation. Inject 5 to 10 seconds of product into insect tunnels and cavities.

BED BUGS

Thoroughly inspect area of suspected bed bug infestation, and note potential harborage sites or actual infestations. Prior to treatment, please ensure that infested bedding (pillows and linens), clothing and other items or obstacles have been removed from the area that may prevent thorough inspection or treatment. Apply to mattresses as a spot treatment to mattress seams, edges and tufts of bed only. Do not use directly on pillows, bed linens or clothes. Do not saturate the mattress; and do not treat entire surface area of mattress. Allow mattress to dry thoroughly before replacing pillows and/or bed linens.

Bed bugs may also harbor in areas of the room away from the bed.

Apply as a crack and crevice or spot application where evidence of bed bugs occurs. This includes bed frames, box springs, inside empty drawers and clothes closets, night stands and other furniture in the room, carpet edges, high and low wall moldings (such as floor molding or window casings), wall voids, behind wall hangings and mirrors, wallpaper edges and popcorn ceilings. Remove all clothes and other articles from dressers or closets before application. Take bed apart. Treat joints and channels if hollow, such as square or round tubing, and see that interior framework is treated. Apply as a surface application to carpeting, drapes and flooring. Allow all treated areas to dry thoroughly before use.

CARPET BEETLES

Apply on and under edge of floor coverings, under carpets and furniture and in closets or other locations where these insects are found. Entire carpets may be treated.

TICKS

Direct product toward pet beds and resting areas. Treat adjacent cracks and crevices such as behind baseboards and edges of carpet and floor coverings. Treat higher cracks such as upper door jams and window framing, behind pictures and other areas where females may crawl to lay eggs. Allow spray to thoroughly dry before allowing pets to return.

DO not treat companion animals, such as dogs, cats, puppies or kittens, with this product.

STORED PRODUCT PESTS

Apply as a crack and crevice or spot treatment to localized areas including shelves, cupboards, walls and floors where food products suspected of being infested are stored. Remove or cover food, in the treatment area, before application. This treatment is supplemental to good housekeeping, since it will have no effect on insects inside packaging. Dispose all infested foodstuffs.

FOAM APPLICATION

This product can be converted to a foam and the foam used to treat structural voids to kill insect and arthropod pests in walls, under slabs or in other void areas. Mix 1 part end-use dilution with 25 parts foaming agent. This will provide adequate coverage and expansion without significant wetting to interior wall surfaces. Verify, before treatment, that the foaming agent is compatible with this product.

Treatment of vegetation in water from land is also permitted by allowing wind to move product into vegetation, but application of this product directly to any body of water is prohibited.

LISTED CRAWLING INSECTS AND SPIDERS

For treatment of localized infestations of these insects in outdoor areas which are landscaped, planted, mulched or unmaintained, treat infested areas. For ants, wet hills and runways. Repeat applications as infestation warrants and as reinfestations occur. For ants and spiders, apply product to cracks and crevices where insects may enter premises or harbor.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

This product is toxic to aquatic organisms, including fish and invertebrates. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. This product may contaminate water through runoff. This product has a potential for runoff for several months or more after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product.

This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds while bees are foraging in the treatment area.

To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or runoff into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid runoff to water bodies or drainage systems.

PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS

Do not spray where electrical short circuits might result, such as wall outlets, conduits, motors, switches, etc.

Do not spray directly into any electronic equipment, such as radios, televisions, computers, telephones, etc.

FIRST AID

IF IN EYES
