Stop: Do not allow children or pets into the treated area until dry. Do not water the treated area to the point of runoff. Do not make applications during rain. All outdoor applications must be limited to spot or crack-and-crevice treatments only, except for the following permitted uses: (1) Treatment to soil or vegetation around structures; (2) Applications to lawns, turf and other vegetation; (3) Application to building foundations, up to a maximum height of 3 ft. Other than applications to building foundations, all outdoor applications to impervious surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways, patios, porches and structural surfaces (such as windows, doors and eaves) are limited to spot and crack-and-crevice applications only. 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. Do not allow the product to enter any drain during or after application. In New York State, this product may not be applied to lawns within 100 ft of a coastal marsh, or stream that drains directly into a coastal marsh. How to Mix and Apply: Step (1): Determine size of spraying job. For lawns and vegetables, measure the area to be sprayed. For trees, shrubs and flowers, apply as a thorough cover spray. Make applications when insects first appear. Applications should be repeated only as directed to maintain control. Step (2): Use a clean sprayer. Carefully measure and mix the amount of product and waters as indicated in the directions. It is always a good idea to wear gloves when handling pesticides. Kitchen utensils such as measuring cups and measuring spoons should not be used for food purposes after use with pesticides. Step (3): Spray as directed. Thorough coverage is important. Step (4): Flush sprayer with clean water after each use. See directions for list of use sites, plants and insects controlled. Use the rate given in the directions for the type of insect you want to control on the site or plant you are spraying. Measurement conversions: 1 Tbsp = 3 tsp. 1 fl oz = 6 tsp or 2 Tbsp. 6 fl oz = 1/4 cup. 1-1/2 Tbsp in 3 gallons of water = 1-1/2 tsp in 1 gallon of water. 2 Tbsp in 3 gallons of water = 2 tsp in 1 gallon of water.
