RESIDENTIAL PEST CONTROL

Do not tank-mix this product with dichlorvos (DDVP) containing products. This product can be tank-mixed with Insect Growth Regulators (IGR’s) or pyrethrin containing products. When mixing Starbar^® E-Pro Adulticide Spray (E-Pro) with other products, observe all precautions and limitations of the labels of each product. To prepare the emulsion, dilute E-Pro with water only. To prepare a 0.5% emulsion, mix 1.6 fl oz (50 ml) in 1 gallon of water.

E-Pro is an emulsifiable concentrate to be diluted with water and used to control pests around structures. The pests controlled are listed in the accompanying tables.

E-Pro may be used as a crack and crevice injection, as a paint-on treatment, as a broadcast or spot application to perimeter soil. Consult the applicable tables in the label for specific use instructions.

Broadcast Treatment for the Control of Nuisance Pests Outside of Structure

Apply a 0.5% emulsion with a fan spray using a maximum of 25 psi. Do not allow runoff to occur. To control bees, hornets, wasps, and yellow-jackets, apply this product in late evening when insects are at rest. Aim spray at nest openings in ground, bushes and in the cracks and crevices that may harbor nests, saturating nest openings and contacting as many insects as possible.

Pest Control on Outside Surfaces and Around Buildings

Apply E-Pro using a 0.5% emulsion as a residual spray to outside surfaces of buildings including, but not limited to, foundations, exterior siding, window frames, refuse dumps, storage sheds, fence lines, barns, and other residential structures, commercial buildings, soil, trunks of woody ornamentals and other areas where pests congregate or have been seen.

Perimeter Treatment: Apply to band of soil and vegetation 6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the structure. Also, treat the foundation of the structure to a height of 2 to 3 feet. Use a spray volume of 2 to 10 gallons of emulsion per 1,000 square feet. Higher volumes of water may be needed if mulch or leaf litter is present or foliage is dense.
