NOTE: User should calibrate spreader by accurately weighing a few pounds into a spreader and applying to a measured area. Then, adjust the spreader setting if necessary to ensure the correct rate of application. For optimum control of specified pests, follow the recommended procedures outlined below:

ANTS: To control ant mounds (excluding fire ant mounds – see specific use directions for fire ant mounds), locate and treat nest first (if possible). Apply 2 tablespoons of product to cover the nest, then gently sprinkle water to moisten the treatment area. In addition to treating ant nests or mounds, treat around entry points of buildings and the soil surface along the perimeter of the building. See below for directions for use for perimeter treatment.

Fire Ant Mounds: Treat ant mounds by applying 1/2 cup per mound. Water with sufficient force to break its apex and allow the insecticide to flow into the ant tunnels, but not sufficient to significantly damage the mound that may lead to relocation. For best results, apply in cool weather (65 to 80?F) or in the early morning or late evening hours. Treat new mounds as they appear. Food utensils such as teaspoons and measuring cups should not be used for food purposes after use with insecticide. For optimum control or for heavily infested areas, combine both mound and broadcast treatments.

Armyworms, Cutworms, and Sod Webworms: ; Thoroughly water the treated area immediately after application. If Lawn Moths (Sod Webworms Adults) are noticed in large numbers at dusk, or at first sign of damage to the lawn, treat entire lawn evenly.

Annual Bluegrass Weevil (Hyperodes) adults: Time application for when adult weevils leave their overwintering sites and move into grass areas. This movement generally begins when Forsythia is in full bloom and concludes when flowering dogwood is in full bloom.

Billbug adults: Apply when adult billbugs are first observed during April and May

Black Turfgrass Ataenius adults: Apply during May and July to control the first and second generation of black turfgrass Ataenius adults.

Chinch Bugs: Thoroughly water the treated area immediately after application. In temperate regions, spring applications will provide control of over-wintered chinch bugs. A second application may be necessary for 6 weeks if insect activity continues.

European crane fly larvae (Leather jackets): Apply in early April when insects are young.

Flea larvae: Treat areas where animals frequent and any shady areas nearby. Thoroughly water the treated area immediately after application.

Mole Crickets: Apply as late in the day as possible to moist soil (irrigate before application if necessary), and thoroughly water in immediately after treatment. Treat grass areas that receive pressure from adult mole crickets in the spring immediately prior to peak egg hatch when young nymphs are located near the soil surface. Repeat applications to control larger, more damaging nymphs later in the year.

Scorpions: Treat at dusk to prevent outdoor scorpions from entering the building. Treat areas where scorpions reside hidden during the day such as in cracks and voids. Remove trash, debris, or firewood that scorpions may use as resting sites prior to treatment.

Ticks (including ticks that transmit Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted fever): Treat once a month as directed above when pests first appear in late spring (May-June) and continue a regular treatment program until late summer (September-October). Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur, including areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Re-treat if ticks are reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Do not allow public use of treated areas during application.

PERIMETER TREATMENT: To help prevent infestation of buildings, evenly apply a 2-foot wide band around and adjacent to the building where pests are active and may find the entrance. Treat at a rate of 2 to 4 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft.
