    Q
    Can I till the soil rather than use pick to create trench when treating with Altriset?
    I wonder if I can pour the mixture on tilled soil which should be very absorbent rather than creating trench and moving soil away from tilled area.
    A

    We do recommend following the manufacturers recommendation of removing the soil when applying Altriset. The product actually binds to the soil and may not penetrate deeply enough if you leave the soil in place.

    Q
    Drilling driveway, patio, and front porch for Altriset
    I have a garage attached to the house. I have to drill in the driveway around the house I believe. How can I know I will not hit water or sewage. I also have to drill front porch, back patio. My slab is 4 in in back and 8 in front of the house.
    A
    Normally, the water and sewage lines are a lot lower than than 18in. because they are laid in the ground before the land is graded to build on. If you are still unsure, we recommend contacting your city or county for the blue prints.

    Q
    After applying Altriset Termiticide for Subterranean Termites, is it necessary to water in the application?
    A

    You should allow applications of Altriset Termiticide atleast 24 hrs to dry before any rainfall or irrigation occurs for the active ingredient to have time to bond to the soil.
    For Subterranean Termites, the trench method is the best option to have a complete barrier protection around the foundation against Subterranean Termites. Trench treatments are done by digging a 6 in x 6 in trench directly against the foundation. Pour 4 gallons of mixed solution (0.34 fl oz per gallon of water) evenly distributing every 10 linear feet.

    Please refer to Section 2.1.1 on page 3 of the product label for more detailed information.

    Q
    Can Altriset Termiticide be used to treat for carpenter bees?
    A

    No, Altriset Termiticide is not labeled to carpenter bees. We would recommend our Carpenter Bee Control Kit. The kit contains Delta Dust with a B&G Bulb Duster that allows you to dust in existing carpenter bee holes, and 20 x 3/8 inch plugs to stop up the holes. In addition, 3 x .4 oz bottles of Cyzmic CS Insecticide come with this kit. Cyzmic CS is a liquid concentrate that must be diluted with water and applied with a hand sprayer. Cyzmic CS is a unique insecticide concentrate with two active ingredients for a quick initial kill and long-term residual effects.

    For the most efficient Carpenter Bee Treatment , you should first Inspect structures for damage and live bees. See our Carpenter Bee Identification guide to be sure that you are treating for the correct pest.

    Q
    Can Altriset be used as preventive for lawn grubs or as a curative?
    I know its only labeled for termites but I wonder if it will physically do the job
    A

    Altriset Termiticide cannot be used in lawns and is not labeled for grubs, prevention or treatment.  It is only used adjacent to structures for termites.  We cannot comment on or recommend it be used in an off label way as the label is law..  For grubs, you would use something like Dominion 2L which is labeled for grubs and lawn use.
