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 vegetables listed in Table 4;
3. Perimeter band treatments of 7 feet wide or less from the base of a man-made structure to pervious surfaces, e.g. soil, mulch, or lawn.
4. Applications to underside of eaves, soffits, doors, or windows permanently protected from rainfall by a covering, overhang, awning, or other structure;
5. Applications around potential exterior pest entry points into man-made structures such as doorways and windows, when limited to a band not to exceed one inch;

7. Applications to vertical surfaces directly above pervious surfaces, such as soil, lawn, turf, mulch or other vegetation) only if the pervious surface does not drain into ditches, storm drains, gutters, or surface waters.

Note:
This product is non-staining to most home-siding, depending on age and cleanliness. Prior to applying this product to areas that may contact home siding (including vinyl siding), test in a hidden area and recheck in a few hours. If any staining is observed, do not use this product.

Application:
Spray as directed – complete coverage is important. Treat when insects begin to appear and repeat treatments to maintain control as directed. Carefully follow all label directions and any limitations of use, such as the amount of spray to apply or PHI (pre-harvest interval) for particular vegetable crops.

Spray instructions:
Make sure control knob is in "OFF" position, then connect the garden hose to the threaded end of the nozzle. Turn water on at faucet.

To spray low-growing plants and small shrubs:
Squeeze ribbed tabs and turn the control knob clockwise, aligning the arrow to the “FAN” position. To spray taller trees, shrubs and plants: Squeeze ribbed tabs and turn the control knob counterclockwise, aligning the arrow to the “STREAM” position. It should take 25-40 minutes to dispense the entire product, depending on water pressure levels, at which point the bottle will be empty. If bottle is not emptying, check to be sure arrows are completely aligned.

To stop spraying, turn control knob to the “OFF” position. Turn off water at the faucet and disconnect garden hose.
