A Weather/Moisture Resistant Granular Bait to Kill and Control Ants, Cockroaches, Crickets, Mole Crickets and Silverfish
For Use In and Around Homes, Apartments, Garages, Public and Private Institutions, Zoos, Kennels and Vending Machines | |
For the control of ants, cockroaches, crickets and silverfish in and around homes, apartment buildings and sewers.
For interior applications: Apply at a rate of 4 pounds per 1000 square feet (6 oz. or 1.25 cups per 100 square feet) of surface area. Apply only in areas inaccessible to children and pets or in tamperresistant bait stations. Spread evenly in crawl spaces, attics, dropped ceilings and cellars with dirt or gravel floors. In attics be sure to apply in eaves and access drains. In garages and basements, concentrate application along walls and baseboards. Concentrate application in areas where insect activity is most prevalent. This product may also be applied in inaccessible areas, such as cracks and crevices, where insects may hide. Apply in pits of dumbwaiter and trash chute shafts. Bait may also be applied in removable covered bait stations in areas accessible to insects. Always record the location and number of bait stations. In sewers, apply along ledges and around manhole entrances. Exterior applications: Treat exterior perimeter building walls in a band approximately two feet wide and scatter bait in flower beds, leaf litter, woodpiles, trashcans and refuse areas. Reapply as necessary.
For perimeter treatments: Spread bait at a rate of 6 oz. or 1.25 cups per 100 square feet in a band at least two feet wide around foundations, patios, driveways, sidewalks, entrances to homes and buildings or other areas where insects are present. Apply around landscape lighting floodlights, street lamps or other exterior fixtures and scatter bait in flowerbeds, leaf litter, woodpiles, around trashcans and refuse areas. Reapply as necessary.
For treating ant mounds: Apply 1/2 to 1 oz. of product around all ant mounds. Supplement with broadcast application in immediate area and along ant trails and in areas where ant activity has been noted.
Crack and Crevice Applications: Crack and crevice application may be made using most types of dust applicators. A bellows type duster works best. Insert stem into gaps, cracks and crevices and apply 2 to 6 puffs per linear foot, depending upon severity of infestation. Drill small holes to gain access into wall voids and under cabinets. This product may also be applied in appropriate areas with a power duster. Consult equipment manufacturer for recommended settings.
Application Sites and Directions
1. Apply under and behind appliances in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms (remove kickplates if possible).
2. Kitchen and bathroom drawers may be removed and a light dust of this product applied into drawer wells.
3. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets and vanities often have a space between the floor and the bottom drawer or cabinet, where roaches or ants may hide. If a gap exists along the top of the kick plate, dust product into the void area. If no gaps are present, drill a small hole every two feet along the kickplate making sure to drill at least one hole under each cabinet and apply product through the holes.
4. Apply in voids around plumbing pipes behind water heaters and under sinks in kitchens, bathrooms, showers and utility rooms Escutcheon plates around pipes should be pulled back to allow access to the void.
5. Remove electrical wall socket and switch covers and dust product around boxes into voids. Product should not be applied directly into electrical switch and outlet boxes.
6. If there are cracks or spaces between the wall and doorframe, cabinets, counter tops, molding or baseboards, they provide excellent hiding places for roaches and ants. Dust a small amount of this product into these areas whenever possible.
7. Apply under and behind vending machines. If access can be gained to the interior of the machine, apply around the interior base, being careful not to contaminate any foodstuffs.
8. Apply in attics around perimeter eaves and around all vent pipes and access areas. Pay particular attention to areas above kitchens and bathrooms.
