HOW THIS
PRODUCT
WORKS
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent
with its labeling.
Read and follow all label directions.
• Do not apply near lakes, streams, rivers, or ponds.
• Do not apply to soils which are water-logged or saturated.
• Bucket or measuring utensils must not be used for any food or
drinking water purposes after use with this product.
• During prolonged dry periods, saturate the soil around the plants
well with water the night before making an application.
The insecticide dissolved in water moves down through the soil, where
it is absorbed by the roots. Once absorbed, it moves up through the
plant providing insect protection. This product even moves into new
growth after application, thus protecting it, too! For insect control, the
insecticide must distribute completely through the plant. Depending
on the size and health of the plant, this may take one week to three
months (for very large trees). Rain or water cannot wash o this
internal protection.
Use at rst signs of insect infestation, preferably before damage from
feeding occurs.
APPLICATION
TIMING
1. Measure the distance from the tree trunk to the drip line, and round
down to the nearest foot.
Note: The drip line is the outer edge of the leaves. If you visualize an
umbrella in the rain; the area where the rain falls to the ground
would be the drip line.
2. Consult the tree rate chart to determine the number of ounces of
product to use for your specic tree type and radius measurement.
3. Add the specied amount of product to 1 gallon of water.
4. Pour the mixture at the base of the tree.
5. Fill the bucket with an additional gallon of water and pour at the
base of the tree.
