When and Where to Use
Where Not to Use
- In order to prevent the pesticide from running into sewers, storm drains, and curbside gutters, please do not use to treat hard flat surfaces unless the surface is protected from rainfall and sprinkler spray.
- Additionally, application is prohibited directly into sewers or drains, or to any area like a gutter where drainage to sewers, storm drains, water bodies, or aquatic habitat can occur.
Where to Use
- For residential outdoor use on residential lawns, around your home's perimeter, and on ornamentals, flowers, trees, shrubs, vegetables, and fruit trees.
When to Apply
- To best control unwanted populations, apply when insects first appear.
How Often to Apply
- Applications made around home foundations, porches, patios, and stored lumber should be repeated every 14 days as necessary. Some stubborn lawn insects may require a second treatment 4 to 6 weeks following the first application.
- For applications made to flowers, shrubs, small trees, and home vegetable gardens, use as necessary to maintain control, waiting at least 7 days between each application.
Special Instructions
Watering Tips
- For the best results possible, treatments should be made to lawns that have been watered within the last 24 hours. To avoid potential runoff and environmental damage, refrain from making applications during rain. For control of mole cricket populations, water thoroughly immediately following application.
