DIRECTIONS FOR USE: CARPENTER ANTS AND NUISANCE ANT CONTROL (Argentine ants, big-headed ants, Odorous House ants and Pave-
ment ants): For control of ants around houses and other sturctures, apply 0.06% Termidor SC Termiticide/Insecticide to the structure exterior
as a low pressure coarse spray where ants enter the structure, trail around the structure or where they crawl and hide. Also spray 0.06% Termi-
dor SC Termiticide/Insecticide around doors, windows, vents, pipes or any other exterior openings (including foundation cracks or drilled holes)
where ants could enter the structure. Be especially careful to treat the joint where exterior siding (wood, vinyl, aluminum or any similar mate-
rial) meets the cement, block or brick foundation. Treat all areas where any wires (electrical, telephone or cable) enter the house. This treat-
ment should be made as a general surface spray, crack and crevice spray or wall void application. Apply 2 quarts of 0.06% Termidor SC Termiticide/
Insecticide finished spray per 160 linear feet. (This rate is approximately 1.5 gallons finished spray per 1000 square feet). Application is made
one foot out and one foot up the foundation wall with a maximum number of 2 applications per year.
It is also necessary to remove or prune away all shrubbery, bushes, tree branches (dead or alive) touching the structure. This vegetation touch-
ing the structure offers a route of entry for ants into the structure and a method for the ants to continue to inhabit the structure without
coming in contact with the treatment. If nests are found, direct treatment of Termidor SC Termiticide/Insecticide can be made to these nests.
Do not allow residents and pets in the immediate area during application and do not contact treated areas until sprays have dried.
