Description
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: READ THE ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USE
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not allow children or pets into the treated area until dry. 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:
Treatment to soil or vegetation around structures;
Applications to other vegetation;
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.
NOTE:
This product is non-staining to most home-siding, depending on age and cleanliness. Prior to applying this product to areas that may contact home siding (including vinyl siding), test in a hidden area and recheck in a few hours. If any staining is observed, do not use this product.
APPLICATION:
Spray as directed – complete coverage is important. Treat when insects begin to appear and repeat treatments to maintain control as directed. Carefully follow all label directions and any limitations of use, such as the amount of spray to apply or PHI (pre-harvest interval) for particular vegetable crops.
Spray Instructions:
Make sure control knob is in "OFF" position, then connect the garden hose to the threaded end of the nozzle. Turn water on at faucet.
To spray low-growing plants and small shrubs: Squeeze ribbed tabs and turn the control knob clockwise, aligning the arrow to the “FAN” position. To spray taller trees, shrubs and plants: Squeeze ribbed tabs and turn the control knob counterclockwise, aligning the arrow to the “STREAM” position. It should take 25-40 minutes to dispense the entire product, depending on water pressure levels, at which point the bottle will be empty. If bottle is not emptying, check to be sure arrows are completely aligned.
To stop spraying, turn control knob to the “OFF” position. Turn off water at the faucet and disconnect garden hose.
PESTS OUTSIDE THE HOME:
Use on ornamental plants next to building foundations and other outdoor surfaces where these pests are active, including porches, buildings, screens, overhangs, window frames, garages and patios. See Table (1) – Outdoor Surface Barrier Application for use rates and instructions.
Mosquito CONTROL: Use on ornamental plants next to building foundations and other outdoor surfaces where these insects are active, including porches, buildings, screens, overhangs, window frames, garages and patios. See Table (2) – Outdoor Mosquito Control for use rates and instructions.
ORNAMENTAL TREES, SHRUBS & FLOWERS: Apply thoroughly as a foliar cover spray to both sides of plant leaves and all plant surfaces where insects are present. For best results, apply early—prior to high insect infestations. See Table (3) – Ornamental Trees, Shrubs & Flowers Pest Control for insects controlled.
VEGETABLES: Apply thoroughly as a foliar cover spray to both sides of plant leaves and all plant surfaces where insects are present. For best results, apply when insects first appear or damage occurs. Do not exceed pre-harvest interval *(number of days to wait between last application and harvest) for treated vegetables. Do not apply more than 5 times per growing season for corn. For all other crops, do not apply more than 9 times per growing season. See Table (4) – Vegetable Garden Insect Control for crops, pre-harvest intervals (PHI) and insects controlled.
