PEST CONTROL SPECIALTY APPLICATIONS Underground Services (including cables, conduits, pipes, utility lines, wires, etc.) which are found on the outside of structures, in right-of-way areas, or in long range installation of these services. Soil treatments to control Ants: Apply using a 0.06 to 0.12% Compare-N-Save Indoor/Outdoor Insect Concentrate emulsion. Apply 2 gallons of emulsion per 10 linear feet to the bottom of the trench.
product to voids and galleries in damaged wood, and in spaces between wooden members of a structure, and between wood and foundations where wood is exposed. Place plastic sheeting immediately below overhead areas that are treated; no sheeting is required when treating the surface of soils in crawl spaces. Areas that are not easily accessed can be treated by drilling, and then injecting the emulsion using a crack and crevice injector into the damaged wood or void spaces.
Outside of Structures This product can be used around wood to control wood-infesting insects and other pests. Make applications with a 0.6% emulsion with a fan spray at a maximum of 25 psi to run-off. If pests are found inside fence posts, trees or utility poles, locate the area of infestation by drilling. Inject a 0.6% emulsion. For treating bees, hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets, direct contact works best; apply in the late evening when pests are at rest.
This product formulation mixes readily with water and other aqueous carriers. Use this product as a tank-mix with other pesticides, including insect growth regulators. If applying as a tank mix, all precautions and limitations on each separate product label must be followed. Tank Mix Compatibility Testing: A jar test is recommended prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of this product and other products.
(continued) In New York State, do make a single repeat application of this product if there are signs of renewed insect activity, but no sooner than two weeks after the first application.
