Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide is labeled for Zimmerman Pine Moth. According to the label you can use 4 to 8 fl oz per 100 gallons which would break down to 0.04 - 0.08 oz per gallon of water. We recommend to figure out how many gallons of water you need to soak the trunk thoroughly before mixing the product and applying it. Also, check with your local cooperative extension office for the best time of application in your area as some literature states that Spring applications have proven most effective and late Summer and Fall applications haven't been very effective.
If you are just doing a topical treatment with Tengard SFR, if termites come in contact with the treated area, they will die. However, if you are treating for an active infestation, it is recommended that you dig a trench around the structure and pour the solution into the trench. A treatment with this product will last approximately 5 years.
Tengard SFR can be used monthly as needed for pine tree beetles. There should not be more than 2 lbs of product used per acre per year. You will spray the lower branches and trunks prior to adult emergence.

Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide can be harmful to honey bees if sprayed directly or if they contact a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose. To avoid contact, spray in the early morning or late evening when bees are less active and do not apply to the blooms of flowering shrubs/trees.
Unfortunately there is no easy solution when it comes to pine beetles/borers. Infected trees should be cut down (before the newly hatched beetles fly out of the trees in the spring/summer) and the wood burned or chipped, while other still healthy trees should be sprayed annually to protect them. Because of the natural boring behavior of the beetle they are protected from topically applied insecticides and systemic insecticides (those injected into the tree or applied as a root drench) have proven ineffective for pine beetle infestations. Healthy trees can be protected before the beetles attack by topically spraying them with a product like Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide or Bifen XTS. The tree should be sprayed from the ground to 15 ft up the trunk to prevent future infestations. You should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying in your region.

Repeat as necessary.
