APPLICATION DIRECTIONSANT CONTROLNuisance Ants Indoors: For best results, locate and treat ant nests.Dilute 0.5 to 1.0 fluid oz. of Masterline B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water and apply at the rate of onegallon of dilution per 1,000 square feet as a crack and crevice or spottreatment to areas where ants have been observed or are expected toforage. These areas include, but are not limited to, baseboards, in andbehind cabinets, under and behind dishwashers, furnaces, refrigera-tors, sinks and stoves, around pipes, cracks and crevices and in cor-ners. Particular attention should be given to treating entry points into thehome or premises such as around doors and windows. When usingMasterline B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide in combination with baits,apply Masterline B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide as instructed above,and use baits in other areas that have not been treated with MasterlineB MaxxPro Termiticide/InsecticideNuisance Ants Outdoors: For best results, locate and treat ant nests.Apply Masterline B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide to ant trails arounddoors and windows and other places where ants have been observedor are expected to forage. Apply a perimeter treatment using either lowor high volume applications described in the “Pest Control on OutsideSurfaces and Around Buildings” section of this label. The higher dilu-tions and/or application volumes, as well as more frequent applications,may be necessary when treating concrete surfaces for ant control.Maximum control is generally achieved using the following procedure:The following procedure must be followed to help achieve maximumcontrol of the pest:
1) Treat non-porous surfaces only in areas protected from rainfalland spray from sprinklers with low volume applications using 0.5to 1.0 fluid oz. of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticideper gallon of water and applying this dilution at the rate of onegallon per 1,000 square feet.
2) Treat porous surfaces and vegetation with high volume applica-tions (usually 5 to 10 finished gallons per 1,000 square feet)using dilutions that are calculated to deliver 0.5 to 1.0 fluid oz. ofMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per 1,000 squarefeet ( refer to the MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/InsecticideDilution Chart).
3) For maximum residual control, dilute 1.0 fluid oz of MasterLineB MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water and applyat a rate of up to 10 gallons of dilution per 1,000 square feet.
Carpenter Ants Indoors: Dilute 0.5 to 1.0 fluid oz. of MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water and apply at therate of one gallon of dilution per 1,000 square feet as a crack andcrevice or spot treatment to areas where carpenter ants have beenobserved or are expected to forage. These areas include, but are notlimited to, baseboards, in and behind cabinets, under and behind dish-washers, furnaces, refrigerators, sinks, and stoves, around pipes,cracks and crevices and in corners. Particular attention should be givento treating entry points into the home or premises such as around doorsand windows. Spray or foam into cracks and crevices or drill holes andspray, mist or foam into voids where carpenter ants or their nests arepresent. When using MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide incombination with baits, apply MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide as instructed above, and use baits in other areasthat have not been treated with MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide.Carpenter Ants Outdoors: Apply MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide to carpenter ant trails around doors and windowsand other places where carpenter ants have been observed or areexpected to forage. For best results, locate and treat carpenter antnests. Apply a perimeter treatment using either low or high volumeapplications described in the “Pest Control on Outside Surfaces andAround Buildings” section of this label. The higher dilutions and/or appli-cation volumes, as well as more frequent applications, may be neces-sary when treating concrete surfaces for carpenter ant control.Maximum control is generally achieved using the following procedure:The following procedure must be followed to help achieve maximumcontrol of the pest:
1) Treat non-porous surfaces only in areas protected from rainfalland spray from sprinklers with low volume applications using 0.5to 1.0 fluid oz. of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticideper gallon of water and applying this dilution at the rate of onegallon per 1,000 square feet
2) Treat the trunks of trees that have carpenter ant trails, or uponwhich carpenter ants are foraging, using 0.5 to 1.0 fluid oz. ofMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon ofwater and applying this dilution to thoroughly wet the bark fromthe base of the tree to as high as possible on the trunk
3) Treat porous surfaces and vegetation with high volume applica-tions (usually 5 to 10 finished gallons per 1,000 square feet)using dilutions that are calculated to deliver 0.5 to 1.0 fluid oz.of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per 1,000square feet (refer to the MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide Dilution Chart)
4) For maximum residual control, dilute 1.0 fluid oz. of MasterLineB MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water and applyat a rate of up to 10 gallons of dilution per 1000 square feet.
To control carpenter ants inside trees, utility poles, fencing or deckmaterials and similar structural members, drill to locate the interiorinfested cavity and inject or foam a 0.06% dilution (1.0 fluid oz. ofMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water) intothe cavity using a sufficient volume and an appropriate treatment toolwith a splashback guard.To control carpenter ants that are tunneling in the soil, dilute 0.5 to 1.0fluid ounces of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallonof water and apply as a drench or inject the dilution or foam at intervalsof 8 to 12 inches. Establish a uniform vertical barrier at the edges ofwalls, driveways or other hard surfaces where ants are tunnelingbeneath the surfaces.To protect firewood from carpenter ants ( and termites), dilute 1.0 fluidoz. of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon of waterand apply to the soil beneath where the firewood will be stacked at therate of one gallon of dilution per 8 square feetFor wood piles and stored lumber apply a 0.06% dilution. Use a hose-end sprayer or sprinkling can to deliver a coarse drenching spray.Treated wood can be burned as firewood or used for lumber one monthafter treatment. Do not use in structures.
For Ant and Fire Ant Mounds control is optimized by combiningbroadcast applications that will control foraging workers and newlymated fly-in queens with mound drenches that will control existingcolonies. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate beforeapplication or use a high volume application. Apply broadcast treat-ments at 0.6 to 1 fluid oz. per 1,000 square feet. Use enough finishedvolume to penetrate thatch or sod. Treat mounds by applying 1 ozMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per mound in 1 to 2 gal-lons water by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat 3 feet outaround the mound. Use the higher volume for mounds larger than 12”.Treat mounds with sufficient force to break their apex and allow theinsecticide solution to flow into the ant tunnels. For best results, applyin cool weather (65 - 80˚F) or in early morning or late evening hours.
Follow Additional Application Restrictions for Outdoor Surface andSpace Sprays under DIRECTIONS FOR USEApplications to vertical exterior surfaces (e.g., foundations) are permit-ted to a maximum height of 3 feet from ground level. Sections of verticalexterior surfaces that abut non-porous horizontal surfaces can only betreated if either 1) these sections are protected from rainfall and sprayfrom sprinklers or 2) they do not drain into a sewer, storm drain, or curb-side gutter (e.g., not to sections that abut driveways or sidewalks thatdrain into streets).

Feeders, waterers, and feed carts should becovered before application to prevent contamination. Do not apply tomilk rooms. Pay attention to animal areas including stanchions, pipes,windows, doors, and areas where insect pests hide or congregate.Exterior applications to walls and foundation perimeters can help pre-vent interior infestations of flying and crawling insect pests. ApplyMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide at a rate equivalent to0.33 to 1 fl. oz per 1000 sq. feet. Use sufficient finished volume to pen-etrate leaf litter, thatch, mulch, or porous surfaces.To control bed bugs, mites and ticks in animal facilities, treatcracks/crevices, walls, posts, nest boxes, and mobile side curtains. Donot apply MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide directly to ani-mals. To control bedbugs, use 0.5 to 1 fl. oz per 1000 sq. ft. Use thehigher rate of application on painted and non-porous surfaces.For adult fly control in and around animal facilities, spray applicationshould target areas where flies will rest, such as the ceiling, rafters, andtrusses. Also treat windows, interior and exterior walls and supports,fences, and vegetation. MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticidedilution may be sprayed on manure in areas where fly larvae are abun-dant and the area cannot be cleaned.For poultry houses, apply to floor area (birds grown on litter) or to walls,posts, and cage framing (birds grown in cages). Application should alsobe made into cracks and crevices around insulation. Reapply aftereach growout or sanitization procedure, but not more frequently thanevery 8 weeks. Indoor control can be enhanced by making perimetertreatments around the outside of building foundations to prevent immi-grating adult beetles. Apply in a uniform band 2 to 3 feet up and 6 to 10feet out from the structure. Maintaining a year-round treatment programwill prevent background populations from reaching problem levels.To control beetles in houses containing birds grown on litter, applyMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide at a rate equivalent to0.33 to 1 fl. oz per 1000 sq. feet to litter after birds are removed andduring tilling. If litter is removed and replaced with fresh litter, applyMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide at a rate equivalent to0.33 to 1 fl. oz per 1000 sq. feet to bare soil or concrete, and treat newlitter after it is spread. Apply spray to inside walls, posts, and exteriorperimeter. Reapply between each flock.To control beetles in broiler-breeder houses, apply as directed abovefor litter and soil/floor treatment.To control beetles in caged-layer houses, do not treat accumulatedmanure, as it will likely disrupt natural enemies that control fly breeding.Instead, treat the perimeter of the manure at a rate equivalent to 0.33to 1 fl. oz MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per 1000 sq.feet. Pit walls, posts, and exterior of structure should also be sprayed.Reapply between each flock.Allow MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide treatment to drybefore applying disinfectants.DO NOT apply MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide as a sur-face spray when animals are present in the facility.

SUBTERRANEAN TERMITE CONTROLDirections For UseAll pesticide handlers (mixers, loaders and applicators) must wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks, shoes and chemical-resistantgloves. After the product is diluted in accordance with label directions foruse, and/or when mixing and loading using a closed spray tank transfersystem (such as an in-line injector system), shirt, pants, socks, shoesand waterproof gloves are sufficient. In addition, all pesticide handlersmust wear a respiratory protection device1 when working in a non-ven-tilated space. All pesticide handlers must wear protective eyewear whenworking in non-ventilated space or when applying termiticide by roddingor sub-slab injection.
1Use one of the following NIOSH approved respirator with any R,P or HE filter or a NIOSH approved respirator with an organicvapor (OV) cartridge or canister with any R, P or HE prefilter.
When treating adjacent to an existing structure, the applicator mustcheck the area to be treated, and immediately adjacent areas of thestructure, for visible and accessible cracks and holes to prevent anyleaks or significant exposures to persons occupying the structure.People present or residing in the structure during application must beadvised to remove their pets and themselves from the structure if theysee any signs of leakage. After application, the applicator is required tocheck for leaks. All leaks resulting in the deposition of termiticide in loca-tions other than those prescribed on this label must be cleaned up priorto leaving the application site. Do not allow people or pets to contactcontaminated areas or to reoccupy contaminated areas of the structureuntil the clean-up is completedThe use of this product prevents and controls termite infestations in andaround structures and constructions.
Application Rate:Use a 0.06% dilution for subterranean termites. For other pests on thelabel use specific listed rates.
The insecticidal dilution must be adequately dispersed in the soil toestablish a barrier between the wood and the Termites in the soil. As agood practice: 1) all non-essential wood and cellulose containing mate-rials, should be removed from around foundation walls, crawl spaces,and porches; 2) eliminate termite access to moisture by repairing faultyplumbing and/or construction grade. Soil around untreated structuralwood in contact with soil should be treated as described below.To establish an effective insecticidal barrier with this product the servicetechnician must be familiar with current termite control practices suchas: trenching, rodding, sub-slab injection, coarse fan spraying of soilsurfaces, crack and crevice (void) injection, excavated soil treatment,and brush or spray applications to infested or susceptible wood. Thesetechniques must be correctly employed to prevent or control infesta-tions by subterranean termites such as: Coptotermes, Heterotermes,Reticulitermes and Zootermopsis. The biology and behavior of thespecies involved should be considered by the service technician indetermining which control practices to use to control or prevent the ter-mite infestation.Choice of appropriate procedures should include consideration of suchvariable factors as the design of the structure, location of heating, ven-tilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, water table, soil type, soilcompaction, grade conditions, and location and type of domestic watersupplies and utilities.For advice concerning current control practices with relation to specificlocal conditions, consult resources in structural pest control and statecooperative extension and regulatory agencies.Important: Contamination of public and private water supplies must beavoided by following these restrictions and procedures: Use anti-back-flow equipment or procedures to prevent siphonage of insecticide intowater supplies. Do not contaminate cisterns or wells. Do not treat soilthat is water saturated or frozen or in any conditions where runoff ormovement from the treatment area (site) is likely to occur. Consult stateand local specifications for recommended distances of wells from treat-ed areas, or if such regulations do not exist, refer to Federal HousingAdministration Specifications (H.U.D.) for guidance.Note: Crawl spaces are considered inside of the structure.Critical Areas: Critical areas include areas where the foundation ispenetrated by utility services, cracks and expansion joints, bath trapsand areas where cement constructions have been poured adjacent tothe foundation such as stairs, patios and slab additions.Structures with Wells/Cisterns Inside FoundationsStructures that contain wells or cisterns within the foundation of a struc-ture can only be treated using the following techniques:1. Do not treat soil while it is beneath or within the foundation or along
the exterior perimeter of a structure that contains a well or cistern.The treated backfill method must be used if soil is removed and treat-ed outside/away from the foundation. The treated backfill techniqueis described as follows:a. Trench and remove soil to be treated onto heavy plastic sheeting
or similar material or into a wheelbarrow.b. Treat the soil at the rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet
per foot of depth of the trench, or 1 gallon per 1.0 cubic feet of soil.See “Mixing Directions section of the label. Mix thoroughly into thesoil taking care to contain the liquid and prevent runoff or spillage.
c. After the treated soil has absorbed the dilution, replace the soilinto the trench.
2. Treat infested and/or damaged wood in place using an injection tech-nique such as described in the “Control of Wood Infesting Insects”section of this label.
Structures with Adjacent Wells/Cisterns and/or Other WaterBodiesApplicators must inspect all structures with nearby water sources suchas wells, cisterns, surface ponds, streams, and other bodies of waterand evaluate, at a minimum, the treatment recommendations listedbelow prior to making an application1. Prior to treatment, if feasible, expose the water pipe(s) coming from
the well to the structure, if the pipe(s) enter the structure within 3 feetof grade.
2. Prior to treatment, applicators are advised to take precautions to limitthe risk of applying the termiticide into subsurface drains that couldempty into any bodies of water. These precautions include evaluatingwhether application of the termiticide to the top of the footer mayresult in contamination of the subsurface drain. Factors such asdepth to the drain system and soil type and degree of compactionshould be taken into account in determining the depth of treatment.
3. When appropriate (i.e., on the water side of the structure), the treatedbackfill technique (described above) can also be used to minimizeoff-site movement of termiticide.
Prior to using this technique near wells or cisterns, consult state, localor federal agencies for information regarding approved treatment prac-tices in your area.
services.Soil treatment may be made using 0.06 to 0.12% MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide dilution to prevent attack by Termitesand Ants.Apply 2 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet to the bottom of the trenchand allow to soak into the soil. Lay services on the treated soil and coverwith approximately 2 inches of fill soil. Apply another 2 gallons per 10 lin-ear feet over the soil surface to complete the treatment barrier. In widetrenches, only treat the soil in the area near the services. It is importantto establish a continuous barrier of treated soil surrounding the services.Where soil will not accept the above labeled volume, 1 gallon of 0.12%MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide may be used per 10 lin-ear feet of trench both to the bottom of the trench and over the soil ontop of the services.Finish filling the trench with treated fill soil. The soil where each serviceprotrudes from the ground may be treated by trenching/rodding of nomore than 1 to 2 gallons of dilution into the soil.Restrictions:Do not treat electrically active underground services.Posts, Poles, and Other ConstructionsCreate an insecticidal barrier in the soil around wooden constructionssuch as signs, fences and landscape ornamentation by applying a0.06% dilution.Previously installed poles and posts may be treated by sub-surfaceinjection or treated by gravity-flow through holes made from the bottomof a trench around the pole or post. Treat on all sides to create a contin-uous insecticidal barrier around the pole. Use 1 gallon of dilution per footof depth for poles and posts less than six inches in diameter. For largerpoles, use 1.5 gallons of dilution per foot of depth. Apply to a depth of 6inches below the bottom of the wood. For larger constructions, use 4gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth.Treatment of Wood-in-Place for Control of Wood-Infesting Insects:(Localized Areas in Structure) For the control of insects such asTermites, Ants, Carpenter Ants, and wood-infesting beetles such as OldHouse Borer and Powder Post in localized areas of infested wood in andaround structures, apply a 0.06% dilution to voids and galleries in dam-aged wood and in spaces between wooden members of a structure andbetween wood and foundations where wood is vulnerable. Paint on orfan spray applications may also be used. Plastic sheeting must beplaced immediately below overhead areas that are spot treated exceptfor soil surfaces in crawl spaces. Application may be made to inaccessi-ble areas by drilling, and then injecting dilution with a crack and creviceinjector into the damaged wood or void spaces. This type of applicationis not intended to be a substitute for soil treatment, mechanical alter-ation or fumigation to control extensive infestation of wood-infestinginsects.Termite carton nests in trees or building voids may be injected with0.06% dilution. Multiple injection points to varying depths may be nec-essary. It is desirable to physically remove carton nest material frombuilding voids when such nests are found.Pest Control in Crawlspaces and Voids: Broadcast MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide at 0.02% to 0.06% to all surfaces incrawlspace and/or void to control ants, fleas, roaches, scorpions, orother arthropods. This treatment is not intended as a substitute for ter-mite control. Treatment should be made to thoroughly and uniformlycover the surface but limit excess runoff. Keep children and pets offsurface until dry.

Post Construction Subterranean Termite TreatmentUse a 0.06% dilution for post-construction treatment. Post-constructionsoil applications shall be made by injection, trenching and rodding intothe trench or trenching, or coarse fan spray with pressures not exceed-ing 25 p.s.i. at the nozzle. Care should be taken to avoid soil wash-outaround the footing.Do not apply dilution until location of wells, radiant heat pipes, waterand sewer lines and electrical conduits are known and identified.Caution must be taken to avoid puncturing and injection into theseelements.Foundations: For applications made after the final grade is installed,the applicator must trench and rod into the trench or trench along thefoundation walls and around pillars and other foundation elements, atthe rate prescribed from grade to the top of the footing. When the foot-ing is more than four (4) feet below grade, the applicator must trenchand rod into the trench or trench along the foundation walls at the rateprescribed to a minimum depth of four feet. The actual depth of treat-ment will vary depending on soil type, degree of compaction, and loca-
Pre-Construction Subterranean Termite TreatmentThe treatment site must be covered prior to a rain event in order to pre-vent run-off of the pesticide into non-target areas.The applicator must either cover the soil him/herself or provide writtennotification of the above requirement to the contractor on site and to theperson commissioning the application (if different than the contractor).If notice is provided to the contractor or the person commissioning theapplication, then they are responsible under FIFRA to ensure that: 1) ifthe concrete slab cannot be poured over the treated soil within 24 hoursof application the treated soil is covered with a waterproof covering(such as polyethylene sheeting), and 2) the treated soil is covered ifprecipitation is predicted to occur before the concrete slab is scheduledto be poured.Do not treat soil that is water-saturated or frozen.Do not treat when raining.
After Treatment: All holes in commonly occupied areas into whichMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide has been applied mustbe plugged. Plugs must be of a non-cellulose material or covered by animpervious, non-cellulose material.

Application Volume: To provide maximum control and protectionagainst termite infestation apply the specified volume of the finishedwater dilution and active ingredient as set forth in the directions for usesection of this label. If soil will not accept the labeled application vol-ume, the volume may be reduced provided there is a correspondingincrease in concentration so that the amount of active ingredientapplied to the soil remains the same.Note: Large reductions of application volume reduce the ability toobtain a continuous barrier. Variance is allowed when volume and con-centration are consistent with label directed rates and a continuous bar-rier can still be achieved.Where desirable for pre and post construction treatments, the volumeof the 0.12% dilution may be reduced by 1/2 the labeled volume. SeeVolume Adjustment Chart below.Note: When volume is reduced, the hole spacing for subslab injectionand soil rodding may require similar adjustment to account for lowervolume dispersal of the termiticide in the soil.
Do not allow treatment to runoff from the target area.Do not apply within 10 feet of storm drains. Do not apply within 25 feetof aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes; reservoirs; rivers;permanent streams; marshes or ponds; estuaries; and commercial fishfarm ponds).Do not make on-grade applications when sustained wind speeds areabove 10 mph (at application site) at nozzle end height. Pre-Construction Treatment: Do not apply at a lower dosageand/or concentration than specified on this label for applicationsprior to the installation of the finished grade.When treating foundations deeper than 4 feet, apply the termiticide asthe backfill is being replaced, or if the construction contractor fails tonotify the applicator to permit this, treat the foundation to a minimumdepth of 4 feet after the backfill has been installed. The applicator musttrench and rod into the trench or trench along the foundation walls andaround pillars and other foundation elements, at the rate prescribedfrom grade to a minimum depth of 4 feet. When the top of the footing isexposed, the applicator must treat the soil adjacent to the footing to adepth not to exceed the bottom of the footing. However, in no caseshould a structure be treated below the footing.Effective pre-construction subterranean termite control is achieved bythe establishment of vertical and/or horizontal insecticidal barriersusing 0.06% dilution of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide.Horizontal BarriersCreate a horizontal barrier wherever treated soil will be covered by aslab, such as footing trenches, slab floors, carports, and the soilbeneath stairs and crawl spaces.For a 0.06% rate apply 1 gallon of dilution per 10 square feet, or use 1fluid ounce of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per 10square feet in sufficient water (no less than 1/2 gallon or more than 2gallons) to provide thorough and continuous coverage of the area beingtreated.If the fill is washed gravel or other coarse material, it is important that asufficient amount of dilution be used to reach the soil substrate beneaththe coarse fill.Applications shall be made by a low pressure spray (less than 50 p.s.i.)using a coarse spray nozzle. If slab will not be poured the same day astreatment, cover treated soil with a water-proof barrier such as polyeth-ylene sheeting. This is not necessary if foundation walls have beeninstalled around the treated soil.Vertical BarriersVertical barriers must be established in areas such as around the baseof foundations, plumbing, utility entrances, back-filled soil against foun-dation walls and other critical areas.For a 0.06% rate, apply 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per footof depth or 4 fluid ounces of MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide 10 linear feet per foot of depth from grade to topof footing in sufficient water (not less than 2 gallons or more than 8 gal-lons) to ensure complete coverage.
a. When trenching and rodding into the trench, or trenching, it isimportant that dilution reaches the top of the footing. Rod holesmust be spaced so as to achieve a continuous termiticide barrier,but in no case more than 12 inches apart.
b. Care should be taken to avoid soil wash-out around the footing.c. Trenches need not be wider than 6 inches. Dilution should be
mixed with the soil as it is being replaced in the trench.d. For a monolithic slab, an inside vertical barrier may not be
required.Treat hollow block voids at a rate of 2 gallons of dilution per 10 linearfeet so that the dilution will reach the top of the footing.Prior to each application, applicators must notify the general contractor,construction superintendent, or similar responsible party, of the intend-ed termiticide application and intended sites of application and instructthe responsible person to notify construction workers and other individ-uals to leave the area to be treated during application and until the ter-miticide is absorbed into the soil.
Common units of measure:1 pint = 16 fluid ounces (oz.)1 quart = 2 pints = 4 cups = 32 fluid ounces (oz.)*For termite applications, only use this rate in conjunction with the appli-cation volume adjustments as listed in the section below or in the foamor underground service application sections.

tion of termite activity. When the top of the footing is exposed, the appli-cator must treat the soil adjacent to the footing to a depth not to exceedthe bottom of the footing. However, in no case should a structure betreated below the footing.SlabsVertical barriers may be established by sub-slab injection within thestructure and trenching and rodding into the trench or trenching outsideat the rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per foot of depth.Special care must be taken to distribute the treatment evenly.Treatment should not extend below the bottom of the footing.Treat along the outside of the foundation and where necessary beneaththe slab on the inside of foundation walls. Treatment may also berequired beneath the slab along both sides of interior footing-supportedwalls, one side of interior partitions and along all cracks and expansionjoints. Horizontal barriers may be established where necessary bylong-rodding or by grid pattern injection vertically through the slab.
a. Drill holes in the slab and/or foundation to allow for the applicationof a continuous insecticidal barrier.
b. For shallow foundations (1 foot or less) dig a narrow trenchapproximately 6 inches wide along the outside of the foundationwalls. Do not dig below the bottom of the footing. The dilutionshould be applied to the trench and soil at 4 gallons of dilution per10 linear feet per foot of depth as the soil is replaced in the trench.
c. For foundations deeper than 1 foot follow rates for basement.d. Exposed soil and wood in bath traps may be treated with a 0.06%
dilution.BasementsWhere the footing is greater than 1 foot of depth from grade to the bot-tom of the foundation, application must be made by trenching and rod-ding into the trench, or trenching at the rate of 4 gallons of dilution per10 linear feet per foot of depth. When the footer is more than four feetbelow grade, the applicator may trench and rod into the trench, or trenchalong foundation walls at the rate prescribed for four feet of depth. Rodholes must be spaced to provide a continuous insecticidal barrier, but inno case more than 12 inches apart. The actual depth of treatment willvary depending on soil type, degree of compaction, and location of ter-mite activity. However, in no case should a structure be treated belowthe footer. Sub-slab injection may be necessary along the inside offoundation walls, along cracks and partition walls, around pipes, con-duits, piers, and along both sides of interior footing-supported walls.Accessible Crawl Spaces: For crawl spaces, apply vertical termiticidebarriers at the rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per foot ofdepth from grade to the top of the footing, or if the footing is more than4 feet below grade, to a minimum depth of 4 feet. Apply by trenchingand rodding into the trench, or trenching. Treat both sides of foundationand around all piers and pipes. Where physical obstructions such asconcrete walkways adjacent to foundation elements prevent trenching,treatment may be made by rodding alone. When soil type and/or con-ditions make trenching prohibitive, rodding may be used. When the topof the footing is exposed, the applicator must treat the soil adjacent tothe footing to a depth not to exceed the bottom of the footing. Read andfollow the mixing and use direction section of the label if situations areencountered where the soil will not accept the full application volume.1. Rod holes and trenches must not extend below the bottom of the
footing. 2. Rod holes must be spaced so as to achieve a continuous termiticide
barrier but in no case more than 12 inches apart.3. Trenches must be a minimum of 6 inches deep or to the bottom of
the footing, whichever is less, and need not be wider than 6 inches.When trenching in sloping (tiered) soil, the trench must be steppedto ensure adequate distribution and to prevent termiticide from run-ning off. The dilution must be mixed with the soil as it is replaced inthe trench.
4. When treating plenums or crawl spaces, turn off the air circulationsystem of the structure until application has been completed and alltermiticide has been absorbed by the soil.
Inaccessible Crawl Spaces: For inaccessible interior areas, such asareas where there is insufficient clearance between floor joists andground surfaces to allow operator access, excavate if possible, andtreat according to the instructions for accessible crawl spaces.Otherwise, apply one or a combination of the following two methods.1. To establish a horizontal barrier, apply to the soil surface, 1 gallon of
dilution per 10 square feet overall using a nozzle pressure of lessthan 25 p.s.i. and a coarse application nozzle (e.g., Delavan TypeRD Raindrop, RD-7 or larger, or Spraying Systems Co. 8010LPTeeJet or comparable nozzle). For an area that cannot be reachedwith the application wand, use one or more extension rods to makethe application to the soil. Do not broadcast or powerspray with high-er pressures.
2. To establish a horizontal barrier, drill through the foundation wall orthrough the floor above and treat the soil perimeter at a rate of 1 gal-lon of dilution per 10 square feet. Drill spacing must be at intervalsnot to exceed 16 inches. Many States have smaller intervals, socheck State regulations which may apply.
When treating plenums and crawl spaces, turn off the air circulationsystem of the structure until application has been completed and all ter-
miticide has been absorbed by the soil.Masonry Voids: Drill and treat voids in multiple masonry elements ofthe structure extending from the structure to the soil in order to createa continuous treatment barrier in the area to be treated. Apply at therate of 2 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet of footing, using a nozzlepressure of less than 25 p.s.i. When using this treatment, access holesmust be drilled below the sill plate and should be as close as possibleto the footing as is practical. Treatment of voids in block or rubble foun-dation walls must be closely examined: Applicators must inspect areasof possible runoff as a precaution against application leakage in thetreated areas. Some areas may not be treatable or may requiremechanical alteration prior to treatment.All leaks resulting in the deposition of termiticide in locations other thanthose prescribed on this label must be cleaned up prior to leaving theapplication site. Do not allow people or pets to contact contaminatedareas or to reoccupy the contaminated areas of the structure until theclean-up is completed.Note: When treating behind veneer care should be taken not to drillbeyond the veneer. If concrete blocks are behind the veneer, both theblocks and the veneer may be drilled and treated at the same time.Not for use in voids insulated with rigid foam insulation.Excavation Technique: If treatment must be made in difficult situa-tions, along fieldstone or rubble walls, along faulty foundation walls,and around pipes and utility lines which lead downward from the struc-ture to a well or pond, application may be made in the following man-ner:a. Trench and remove soil to be treated onto heavy plastic sheeting or
similar material.b. Treat the soil at the rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per
foot of depth of the trench. Mix the dilution thoroughly into the soiltaking care to prevent liquid from running off the liner.
c. After the treated soil has absorbed the liquid dilution, replace the soilin the trench.
Attention: When applying MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide in a confined area, the user should wear unvent-ed goggles and a respirator approved by NIOSH during application.Foam ApplicationsMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide dilution, from 0.06 to0.12 % may be converted to a foam with expansion characteristics from2 to 40 times.Localized Application: The dilution may be converted to a foam andthe foam used to control or prevent termite infestations.Depending on the circumstances, foam applications may be usedalone or in combination with liquid dilution applications. Applicationsmay be made behind veneers, piers, chimney bases, into rubble foun-dations, into block voids or structural voids, under slabs, stoops, porch-es, or to the soil in crawlspaces, and other similar voids.Foam and liquid application must be consistent with volume and activeingredient instructions in order to insure proper application has beenmade. The volume and amount of active ingredient are essential to aneffective treatment. At least 75% of the labeled liquid dilution volume ofproduct must be applied, with the remaining percent delivered to appro-priate areas using foam application. Refer to label and use recommen-dations of the foam manufacturer and the foaming equipment manufac-turer.Foam applications are generally a good supplement to liquid treat-ments in difficult areas, but may be used alone in difficult spots.Application Under Slabs or to Soil in Crawlspaces to Prevent orControl TermitesApplication may be made using MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide foam alone or in combination with liquid dilution.The equivalent of at least 4 gallons (4 ounces of MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide concentrate) of 0.06% dilution per 10 linear feet(vertical barrier), or at least 1 gallon (1 ounce of MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide concentrate) of 0.06% dilution per 10 squarefeet (horizontal barrier) must be applied either as dilution, foam, or acombination of both. For a foam only application, apply MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide concentrate in sufficient foam concen-tration and foam volume to deposit 4 ounces of concentrate per 10 lin-ear feet or 1 ounce of concentrate per 10 square feet. For example, 2gallons of 0.12% dilution generated as foam to cover 10 linear feet isequal to the application of 4 gallons of 0.06% dilution per 10 linear feet.Sand Barrier Installation and TreatmentTermites can build mud tubes over treated surfaces as long as theyhave access to untreated soil and do not have to move MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide treated soil. Susceptible cracks andspaces can be filled with builder’s or play box sand and the sand treat-ed with MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide. The sand shouldbe treated as soil following the termiticide rate listed on the MasterLineB MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide label.Retreatment for subterranean termites can only be performed if thereis clear evidence of reinfestation or disruption of the barrier due to con-struction, excavation, or landscaping and/or evidence of the breakdownof the termiticide barrier in the soil. These vulnerable or reinfestedareas may be retreated in accordance with application techniques

Comments1Armyworms, Cutworms and Sod Webworms: To ensure optimum control,delay watering (irrigation) or mowing for 24 hours after application. If the grassarea is being maintained at a mowing height of greater than 1 inch, then higherapplication rates (Up to 1 fluid oz. per 1000 square feet) may be required duringperiods of high pest pressure.2Annual Bluegrass Weevil (Hyperodes) adults:Applications should be timed tocontrol adult weevils as they leave their overwintering sites and move into grassareas. This movement generally begins when Forsythia is in full bloom and con-cludes when flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) is in full bloom. Consult yourState Cooperative Extension Service for more specific information regardingapplication timing.3Billbug adults: Applications should be made when adult billbugs are firstobserved during April and May. Degree day models have been developed to opti-mize application timing. Consult your State Cooperative Extension Service forinformation specific to your region. In temperate regions, spring applications tar-geting billbug adults will also provide control of over-wintered chinch bugs.4Black Turfgrass Ataenius adults:Applications should be made during May andJuly to control the first and second generation of black turfgrass ataenius adults,respectively. The May application should be timed to coincide with the full bloomstage of Vanhoutte spiraea (Spiraea vanhouttei) and horse chestnut (Aesculushippocastanum). The July application should be timed to coincide with the bloom-ing of Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus).5Chinch Bugs: Chinch Bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often foundin the thatch layer. Irrigation of the grass area before treatment will optimize thepenetration of the insecticide to the area where the chinch bugs are located. Usehigher volume applications if the thatch layer is excessive or if a relatively longmowing height is being maintained. Chinch Bugs can be one of the most difficultpests to control in grasses and the higher application rates (Up to 1 fluid oz. per1000 square feet) may be required to control populations that contain bothnymphs and adults during the middle of the summer.6Mites: To ensure optimal control of eriophyid mites, apply in combination withthe labeled application rate of a surfactant. A second application, five to sevendays after the first, may be necessary to achieve acceptable control.7Flea larvae: Flea larvae develop in the soil of shaded areas that are accessibleto pets or other animals. Use a higher volume application when treating theseareas to ensure penetration of the insecticide into the soil. Note: if the lawn areais being treated with MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide at 0.25 fluidoz. per 1000 square feet for adult flea control, then the larval application rate maybe achieved by increasing the application volume two- to four-fold.8Imported Fire Ants: Control will be optimized by combining broadcast applica-tions that will control foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queens with mounddrenches that will control existing colonies. If the soil is not moist, then it is impor-tant to irrigate before application or use a high volume application. Apply broad-cast treatments at 0.6 to 1 fluid oz. per 1,000 square feet. Use enough finishedvolume to penetrate thatch or sod. Treat mounds by applying 1 oz MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per mound in 1 to 2 gallons water by sprinklingthe mound until it is wet and treat 3 feet out around the mound. Use the highervolume for mounds larger than 12”. Treat mounds with sufficient force to breaktheir apex and allow the insecticide solution to flow into the ant tunnels. For bestresults, apply in cool weather (65 - 80˚F) or in early morning or late eveninghours.

Pest Application Rate MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide
In New York State, this product may NOT be applied to any grassor turf area within 100 feet of a water body (lake, pond, river,stream, wetland, or drainage ditch).In New York State, do make a single repeat application ofMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide if there are signs ofrenewed insect activity, but not sooner than two weeks after thefirst application.
LAWNSApply MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide as a broadcasttreatment. Use application volumes of up to 10 gallons per 1000square feet to get uniform coverage when treating dense grass foliage.For low volume applications, less than 2 gallons/1000 square feet,immediate irrigation of treated area with at least 0.25 inches of waterfollowing application to ensure efficacy of sub-surface pests such as,but not limited to, Mole Crickets, is recommended.LAWN APPLICATION RATESThe application rates listed in the following table will provide excellentcontrol of the respective pests under typical conditions. However, at thediscretion of the applicator, MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide may be applied at up to 1 fl. oz. per 1000 squarefeet to control each of the pests listed in this Table. The higher applica-tion rates should be used when maximum residual control is desired orheavy pest populations occur.
TERMITE CONTROL (ABOVE GROUND ONLY)The purpose of the applications described below are to kill termiteworkers or winged reproductives that may be present at the time oftreatment. These applications are intended as supplements to, and notsubstitutes for, mechanical alteration, soil treatment or foundation treat-ment.To control exposed workers and winged reproductive termites in local-ized areas, dilute 1.0 fluid oz. of MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water and apply as a course fanspray at the rate of one gallon per 1,000 square feet to attics, crawlspaces, unfinished basements and other void areas. Treat swarmingtermites as well as the areas in which they congregate.To control above-ground termites in localized areas of infested wood,dilute 1.0 fluid oz. of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide pergallon of water and apply as a liquid or foam to voids and galleries indamaged wood as well as to spaces between wooden structural mem-bers and between the sill plate and foundation where wood is vulnera-ble to attack. Applications may be made to inaccessible areas bydrilling and then injecting the dilution or foam, with a suitable directionalinjector , into damaged wood or wall voids. All treatment holes drilled inconstruction elements in commonly occupied areas of structuresshould be securely plugged after treatment.To control termite carton nests in building voids, dilute 1.0 fluid oz. ofMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water andapply as a liquid or foam using a pointed injection tool. Multiple injectionpoints and varying depths of injection may be necessary to achievecontrol. When possible, the carton nest material should be removedfrom the building void after treatment.
described in this product’s labeling. The timing and type of theseretreatments will vary depending on factors such as termite pressure,soil types, soil conditions and other factors which may reduce the effec-tiveness of the barrier.Annual retreatment of the structure is prohibited unless there is clearevidence that reinfestation or barrier disruption has occurred.APPLICATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE USE OF TER-MITE BAITSAs part of the integrated pest management (IPM) program for termitecontrol, MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide may be appliedto critical areas of the structure including plumbing and utility entrysites, bath traps, expansion joints, foundation cracks and areas withknown or suspected infestations at a rate of 0.06% as a spot treatmentor complete barrier treatment. Applications may be made as describedin the Postconstruction treatment section of this label.

9Mole Cricket adults: Achieving acceptable control of adult mole crickets is dif-ficult because preferred grass areas are subject to continuous invasion during theearly spring by this extremely active stage. Applications should be made as latein the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.5 inches of waterimmediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigatebefore application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where con-tact with the insecticide will be maximized. Grass areas that receive pressurefrom adult mole crickets should be treated at peak egg hatch to ensure optimumcontrol of subsequent nymph populations (see below).10Mole Cricket nymphs: Grass areas that received intense adult mole cricketpressure in the spring should be treated immediately prior to peak egg hatch.Optimal control is achieved at this time because young nymphs are more suscep-tible to insecticides and they are located near the soil surface where the insecti-cide is most concentrated. Control of larger, more damaging, nymphs later in theyear may require both higher application rates and more frequent applications tomaintain acceptable control. Applications should be made as late in the day aspossible and should be watered in with up to 0.5 inches of water immediatelyafter treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before appli-cation to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with theinsecticide will be maximized.11Ticks (Including ticks that may transmit Lyme Disease and RockyMountain Spotted fever): Do not make spot applications. Treat the entire areawhere exposure to ticks may occur. Use higher spray volumes when treatingareas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroducedfrom surrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary toachieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. Repeatapplication is necessary only if there are signs of renewed activity. Limit repeatapplication to no more than once per seven days.Deer ticks (Ixodes sp.) have a complicated life cycle that ranges over a two yearperiod and involves four life stages. Applications should be made in the late falland/or early spring to control adult ticks that are usually located on brush or grassabove the soil surface and in mid to late spring to control larvae and nymphs thatreside in the soil and leaf litter.American dog ticks may be a considerable nuisance in suburban settings, partic-ularly where homes are built on land that was previously field or forest. Theseticks commonly congregate along paths or roadways where humans are likely tobe encountered. Applications should be made as necessary from mid-spring toearly fall to control American dog tick larvae, nymphs and adults.12Crane Flies: Treatments can be made to control early to mid-season larvae(approximately August – February) as they feed on plant crowns. Treatmentsmade to late-season larvae (approximately March, April) may only provide sup-pression.

Application InstructionsMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide formulation mixes readily withwater and other aqueous carriers.
MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide may be tank mixed with adju-vants and with other pesticides, including insect growth regulators. Whentank mixing MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide with other pesti-cides, observe all precautions and limitations on each separate product label.The physical compatibility of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticidemay vary with different sources of pesticide products, and local culturalpractices. Any tank mixture which has not been previously tested should beprepared on a small scale (pint or quart jar) using the proper proportions ofpesticides and water to ensure the physical compatibility of the mixture.
The following procedure is recommended for preparation of a new tankmix, unless specified otherwise in label directions: (1) Add wettablepowders to tank water, (2) Agitate, (3) Add liquids and flowables, (4) Agi-tate, (5) Add emulsifiable concentrates, and (6) Agitate. If a mixture isfound to be incompatible following this order of addition, try reversingthe order of addition or increase the volume of water. Note: If the tankmixture is found to be compatible after increasing the amount of water,then the sprayer will need to be recalibrated for a higher volume appli-cation. Do not allow tank mix to stand overnight.Formula for Determining the Active Ingredient Content of the FinishedSpray Mixture: The following formula may be used to determine the percentactive ingredient that is in the spray tank after mixing MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide:

2) Treat the trunks of trees that have carpenter ant trails or upon whichcarpenter ants are foraging, using 0.5 to 1.0 fluid oz of MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water and applying thisdilution to thoroughly wet the bark from the base of the tree to as highas possible on the trunk.
3) Treat porous surfaces and vegetation with high volume applications(usually 5 to 10 finished gallons per 1,000 square feet) using dilutionsthat are calculated to deliver 0.5 to 1.0 fluid oz of MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per 1,000 square feet (refer to theMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide Dilution Chart).
4) For maximum residual control, dilute 1.0 fluid oz of MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water and apply at arate of up to 10 gallons of dilution per 1,000 square feet.
To control carpenter ants inside trees, utility poles, fencing or deck materialsand similar structural members, drill to locate the interior infested cavity andinject or foam a 0.06% dilution (1.0 fluid oz of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiti-cide/Insecticide per gallon of water) into the cavity using a sufficient volumeand an appropriate treatment tool with a splashback guard.
To control carpenter ants that are tunneling in the soil, dilute 0.5 to 1.0 fluidoz of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water andapply as a drench or inject the dilution or foam at intervals of 8 to 12 inches.Establish a uniform vertical barrier at the edges of walls, driveways, or otherhard surfaces where ants are tunneling beneath the surfaces.
To protect firewood from carpenter ants (and termites), dilute 1.0 fluid oz ofMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water and apply tothe soil beneath where the firewood will be stacked at the rate of one gallonof dilution per 8 square feet.
For wood piles and stored lumber, apply a 0.06% dilution. Use a hose-endsprayer or sprinkling can to deliver a coarse drenching spray. Treated woodcan be burned as firewood or used for lumber one month after treatment. Donot use in structures.
For Ant and Fire Ant Mounds control is optimized by combining broadcastapplications that will control foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queenswith mound drenches that will control existing colonies. If the soil is not moist,then it is important to irrigate before application or use a high volume appli-
15
cation. Apply broadcast treatments at 0.6 to 1 fluid oz per 1,000 square feet.Use enough finished volume to penetrate thatch or sod. Treat mounds byapplying 1 oz MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per mound in 1 to2 gallons water by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat 3 feet outaround the mound. Use the higher volume for mounds larger than12 inches. Treat mounds with sufficient force to break their apex and allowthe insecticide solution to flow into the ant tunnels. For best results, apply incool weather (65˚F – 80˚F) or in early morning or late evening hours.

21
covered or removed from area being treated. Do not apply directly to food. Forthis application, a “spot” will not exceed 2 ft2.
ANIMAL CONFINEMENT FACILITIES, LIVESTOCK PREMISES,CONFINED ANIMAL FEEDING OPERATIONS, and KENNELSControls biting flies, filth-breeding flies, fleas, litter beetles, hide beetles, bed-bugs, mites, and ticks. Apply as a surface (including directed spray) and/orcrack and crevice treatment. Control is enhanced when interior and exteriorperimeter applications are made in and around the livestock, poultry, or pethousing structures. Normal cleaning practices of the structure also must befollowed along with applications of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insec-ticide to effectively control crawling and flying insect pests.
For occupied areas of poultry/livestock facilities and kennels, apply to indoorcracks and crevices only. Exterior applications to walls and foundationperimeters can help prevent interior infestations of flying and crawling insectpests. Apply MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide at a rate equivalentto 0.33 to 1 fluid oz per 1,000 sq. feet.
For unoccupied areas of poultry/livestock facilities and kennels, apply tofloors, vertical and overhead surfaces where crawling or flying insect pestsmay be present. Feeders, waterers, and feed carts should be covered beforeapplication to prevent contamination. Do not apply to milk rooms. Pay atten-tion to animal areas including stanchions, pipes, windows, doors, and areaswhere insect pests hide or congregate. Exterior applications to walls andfoundation perimeters can help prevent interior infestations of flying andcrawling insect pests. Apply MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide ata rate equivalent to 0.33 to 1 fluid oz per 1,000 sq. feet. Use sufficient finishedvolume to penetrate leaf litter, thatch, mulch, or porous surfaces.
To control bedbugs, mites and ticks in animal facilities, treat cracks/crevices,walls, posts, nest boxes, and mobile side curtains. Do not apply MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide directly to animals. To control bedbugs, use0.5 to 1 fluid oz per 1,000 sq. ft. Use the higher rate of application on paintedand non-porous surfaces.
For adult fly control in and around animal facilities, spray application shouldtarget areas where flies will rest, such as the ceiling, rafters, and trusses. Alsotreat windows, interior and exterior walls and supports, fences, and vegeta-tion. MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide dilution may be sprayed onmanure in areas where fly larvae are abundant and the area cannot becleaned.
For poultry houses, apply to floor area (birds grown on litter) or to walls, posts,and cage framing (birds grown in cages). Application should also be madeinto cracks and crevices around insulation. Reapply after each growout orsanitization procedure, but not more frequently than every 8 weeks. Indoorcontrol can be enhanced by making perimeter treatments around the outsideof building foundations to prevent immigrating adult beetles. Apply in a uni-form band 2 to 3 feet up and 6 to 10 feet out from the structure. Maintaininga year-round treatment program will prevent background populations fromreaching problem levels.
22
To control beetles in houses containing birds grown on litter, apply MasterLineB MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide at a rate equivalent to 0.33 to 1 fluid oz per1,000 sq. feet to litter after birds are removed and during tilling. If litter isremoved and replaced with fresh litter, apply MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiti-cide/Insecticide at a rate equivalent to 0.33 to 1 fl oz per 1,000 sq. feet to baresoil or concrete, and treat new litter after it is spread. Apply spray to insidewalls, posts, and exterior perimeter. Reapply between each flock.
To control beetles in broiler-breeder houses, apply as directed above for litterand soil/floor treatment.
To control beetles in caged-layer houses, do not treat accumulated manure,as it will likely disrupt natural enemies that control fly breeding. Instead, treatthe perimeter of the manure at a rate equivalent to 0.33 to 1 fluid oz Master-Line B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per 1,000 sq. feet. Pit walls, posts, andexterior of structure should also be sprayed. Reapply between each flock.
Allow MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide treatment to dry beforeapplying disinfectants.
DO NOT apply MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide as a surfacespray when animals are present in the facility. Allow applications to dry beforerestocking the facility. Treatment may be made to cracks and crevices whenanimals are present.
DO NOT apply MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide to any animalfeed, water, or watering equipment.
DO NOT contaminate any animal feed, food, or water in and around livestock,poultry, or pet housing when making applications.
Foam ApplicationsMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide may be converted to a foamand used to treat void spaces, or as a spot spray on vertical or horizontal sur-faces where visual marking of application is desired. Use of a foaming agentincreases a.i. surface contact time on challenging surfaces and providesvisual marking of the application. Ensure that the foaming agent is approvedfor food surface/area contact use.
Specific Pest Control ApplicationsUnderground Services such as: wires, cables, utility lines, pipes, conduits, etc.Services may be within structures or located outside structures, in rights-of-way or to protect long range (miles) of installations of services.
Soil treatment may be made using 0.06% to 0.12% MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide dilution to prevent attack by Termites and Ants.
Apply 2 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet to the bottom of the trench andallow to soak into the soil. Lay services on the treated soil and cover withapproximately 2 inches of fill soil. Apply another 2 gallons per 10 linear feetover the soil surface to complete the treatment barrier. In wide trenches, onlytreat the soil in the area near the services. It is important to establish a con-tinuous barrier of treated soil surrounding the services.
23
Where soil will not accept the above labeled volume, 1 gallon of 0.12%MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide may be used per 10 linear feet oftrench both to the bottom of the trench and over the soil on top of the services.
Finish filling the trench with treated fill soil. The soil where each service pro-trudes from the ground may be treated by trenching/rodding of no more than1 to 2 gallons of dilution into the soil.
Restrictions:Do not treat electrically active underground services.
Posts, Poles, and Other Constructions:Create an insecticidal barrier in the soil around wooden constructions such assigns, fences, and landscape ornamentation by applying a 0.06% dilution.
Previously installed poles and posts may be treated by sub-surface injection ortreated by gravity-flow through holes made from the bottom of a trench aroundthe pole or post. Treat on all sides to create a continuous insecticidal barrieraround the pole. Use 1 gallon of dilution per foot of depth for poles and postsless than six inches in diameter. For larger poles, use 1.5 gallons of dilution perfoot of depth. Apply to a depth of 6 inches below the bottom of the wood. Forlarger constructions, use 4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth.
Treatment of Wood-in-Place for Control of Wood-Infesting Insects:(Localized Areas in Structure) For the control of insects such as Termites, Ants,Carpenter Ants, and wood-infesting beetles such as Old House Borer andPowder Post in localized areas of infested wood in and around structures,apply a 0.06% dilution to voids and galleries in damaged wood and in spacesbetween wooden members of a structure and between wood and foundationswhere wood is vulnerable. Paint on or fan spray applications may also beused. Plastic sheeting must be placed immediately below overhead areas thatare spot treated except for soil surfaces in crawl spaces. Application may bemade to inaccessible areas by drilling, and then injecting dilution with a crackand crevice injector into the damaged wood or void spaces. This type of appli-cation is not intended to be a substitute for soil treatment, mechanical alter-ation or fumigation to control extensive infestation of wood-infesting insects.
Termite carton nests in trees or building voids may be injected with 0.06%dilution. Multiple injection points to varying depths may be necessary. It isdesirable to physically remove carton nest material from building voids whensuch nests are found.
Pest Control in Crawl Spaces and Voids: Broadcast MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide at 0.02% to 0.06% to all surfaces in crawl spaceand/or void to control ants, fleas, roaches, scorpions, or other arthropods. Thistreatment is not intended as a substitute for termite control. Treatment shouldbe made to thoroughly and uniformly cover the surface but limit excessrunoff. Keep children and pets off surface until dry.
SUBTERRANEAN TERMITE CONTROLDirections For UseAll pesticide handlers (mixers, loaders and applicators) must wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks, shoes and chemical-resistant gloves. After
24
the product is diluted in accordance with label directions for use, and/or whenmixing and loading using a closed spray tank transfer system (such as an in-line injector system), shirt, pants, socks, shoes and waterproof gloves are suf-ficient. In addition, all pesticide handlers must wear a respiratory protectiondevice1 when working in a non-ventilated space. All pesticide handlers mustwear protective eyewear when working in non-ventilated space or whenapplying termiticide by rodding or sub-slab injection.
1Use one of the following NIOSH approved respirator with any R, P orHE filter or a NIOSH approved respirator with an organic vapor (OV)cartridge or canister with any R, P or HE prefilter.
When treating adjacent to an existing structure, the applicator must check thearea to be treated, and immediately adjacent areas of the structure, for visible andaccessible cracks and holes to prevent any leaks or significant exposures to per-sons occupying the structure. People present or residing in the structure duringapplication must be advised to remove their pets and themselves from the struc-ture if they see any signs of leakage. After application, the applicator is requiredto check for leaks. All leaks resulting in the deposition of termiticide in locationsother than those prescribed on this label must be cleaned up prior to leaving theapplication site. Do not allow people or pets to contact contaminated areas or toreoccupy contaminated areas of the structure until the clean-up is completed.
The use of this product prevents and controls termite infestations in andaround structures and constructions.
The insecticidal dilution must be adequately dispersed in the soil to establisha barrier between the wood and the termites in the soil. As a good practice:1) all non-essential wood and cellulose containing materials should beremoved from around foundation walls, crawl spaces, and porches; 2) elimi-nate termite access to moisture by repairing faulty plumbing and/or construc-tion grade. Soil around untreated structural wood in contact with soil shouldbe treated as described below.
To establish an effective insecticidal barrier with this product, the service tech-nician must be familiar with current termite control practices such as: trenching,rodding, sub-slab injection, coarse fan spraying of soil surfaces, crack andcrevice (void) injection, excavated soil treatment, and brush or spray applica-tions to infested or susceptible wood. These techniques must be correctlyemployed to prevent or control infestations by subterranean termites such as:Coptotermes, Heterotermes, Reticulitermes and Zootermopsis. The biology andbehavior of the species involved should be considered by the service technicianin determining which control practices to use to control or prevent the termiteinfestation.
Choice of appropriate procedures should include consideration of such variablefactors as the design of the structure, location of heating, ventilation, and airconditioning (HVAC) systems, water table, soil type, soil compaction, grade con-ditions, and location and type of domestic water supplies and utilities.
For advice concerning current control practices with relation to specific localconditions, consult resources in structural pest control and state cooperativeextension and regulatory agencies.
25
Important: Contamination of public and private water supplies must be avoidedby following these restrictions and procedures: Use anti-backflow equipment orprocedures to prevent siphonage of insecticide into water supplies. Do not con-taminate cisterns or wells. Do not treat soil that is water-saturated or frozen orin any conditions where runoff or movement from the treatment area (site) islikely to occur. Consult state and local specifications for recommendeddistances of wells from treated areas, or if such regulations do not exist, referto Federal Housing Administration Specifications (HUD) for guidance.
Note: Crawl spaces are considered inside of the structure.
Critical Areas: Critical areas include areas where the foundation is penetratedby utility services, cracks and expansion joints, bath traps and areas wherecement constructions have been poured adjacent to the foundation such asstairs, patios and slab additions.
Structures With Wells/Cisterns Inside FoundationsStructures that contain wells or cisterns within the foundation of a structure canonly be treated using the following techniques:
1. Do not treat soil while it is beneath or within the foundation or along theexterior perimeter of a structure that contains a well or cistern. The treatedbackfill method must be used if soil is removed and treated outside/awayfrom the foundation. The treated backfill technique is described as follows:
a. Trench and remove soil to be treated onto heavy plastic sheeting orsimilar material or into a wheelbarrow.
b. Treat the soil at the rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet perfoot of depth of the trench, or 1 gallon per 1.0 cubic foot of soil. See“Mixing Directions” section of the label. Mix thoroughly into the soil,taking care to contain the liquid and prevent runoff or spillage.
c. After the treated soil has absorbed the dilution, replace the soil into thetrench.
2. Treat infested and/or damaged wood in place using an injection techniquesuch as described in the “Control of Wood-Infesting Insects” section of thislabel.
Structures With Adjacent Wells/Cisterns and/or Other Water BodiesApplicators must inspect all structures with nearby water sources such aswells, cisterns, surface ponds, streams, and other bodies of water and evaluate, at a minimum, the treatment recommendations listed below prior tomaking an application.
1. Prior to treatment, if feasible, expose the water pipe(s) coming from thewell to the structure, if the pipe(s) enter the structure within 3 feet ofgrade.
2. Prior to treatment, applicators are advised to take precautions to limit therisk of applying the termiticide into sub-surface drains that could emptyinto any bodies of water. These precautions include evaluating whetherapplication of the termiticide to the top of the footer may result in contamination of the sub-surface drain. Factors such as depth to the
26
drain system and soil type and degree of compaction should be taken intoaccount in determining the depth of treatment.
3. When appropriate (i.e., on the water side of the structure), the treatedbackfill technique (described previously) can also be used to minimizeoff-site movement of termiticide.
Prior to using this technique near wells or cisterns, consult state, local or federalagencies for information regarding approved treatment practices in your area.
Application Rate:Use a 0.06% dilution for subterranean termites. For other pests on the labeluse specific listed rates.
Mixing Directions: Mix the termiticide use dilution in the following manner:Fill tank 1/4 to 1/3 full. Start pump to begin by-pass agitation and place endof treating tool in tank to allow circulation through hose. Add appropriateamount of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide. Add remainingamount of water. Let pump run and allow recirculation through the hose for2 to 3 minutes.
MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide may also be mixed into full tanksof water but requires substantial agitation to insure uniformity of the dilution.
To prepare a 0.06% water dilution, ready to use, dilute 3 quarts of MasterLineB MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide with 99.25 gallons of water.

Common units of measure:1 pint = 16 fluid ounces (oz)1 quart = 2 pints = 4 cups = 32 fluid ounces (oz)
* For termite applications, only use this rate in conjunction with the applica-tion volume adjustments as listed in the following section or in the foam orunderground service application sections.
Application Volume: To provide maximum control and protection against ter-mite infestation, apply the specified volume of the finished water dilution andactive ingredient as set forth in the Directions for Use section of this label. Ifsoil will not accept the labeled application volume, the volume may bereduced provided there is a corresponding increase in concentration so thatthe amount of active ingredient applied to the soil remains the same.
Note: Large reductions of application volume reduce the ability to obtain acontinuous barrier. Variance is allowed when volume and concentration areconsistent with label directed rates and a continuous barrier can still beachieved.
Where desirable for pre and post-construction treatments, the volume of the0.12% dilution may be reduced by 1/2 the labeled volume. See VolumeAdjustment Chart below.
Note: When volume is reduced, the hole spacing for sub-slab injection andsoil rodding may require similar adjustment to account for lower volume dis-persal of the termiticide in the soil.
After Treatment: All holes in commonly occupied areas into whichMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide has been applied must beplugged. Plugs must be of a non-cellulose material or covered by animpervious, non-cellulose material.
Pre-Construction Subterranean Termite TreatmentThe treatment site must be covered prior to a rain event in order to preventrunoff of the pesticide into non-target areas.
The applicator must either cover the soil him/herself or provide written noti-fication of the above requirement to the contractor on site and to the personcommissioning the application (if different than the contractor). If notice isprovided to the contractor or the person commissioning the application, thenthey are responsible under FIFRA to ensure that: 1) if the concrete slab cannot

be poured over the treated soil within 24 hours of application the treated soilis covered with a waterproof covering (such as polyethylene sheeting), and 2)the treated soil is covered if precipitation is predicted to occur before the con-crete slab is scheduled to be poured.
Do not treat soil that is water-saturated or frozen.
Do not treat when raining.
Do not allow treatment to run off from the target area.
Do not apply within 10 feet of storm drains. Do not apply within 25 feet ofaquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes; reservoirs; rivers; perma-nent streams; marshes or ponds; estuaries; and commercial fish farm ponds).
Do not make on-grade applications when sustained wind speeds are above10 mph (at application site) at nozzle end height.
Pre-Construction Treatment: Do not apply at a lower dosage and/or con-centration than specified on this label for applications prior to theinstallation of the finished grade.When treating foundations deeper than 4 feet, apply the termiticide as thebackfill is being replaced, or if the construction contractor fails to notify theapplicator to permit this, treat the foundation to a minimum depth of 4 feetafter the backfill has been installed. The applicator must trench and rod intothe trench or trench along the foundation walls and around pillars and otherfoundation elements, at the rate prescribed from grade to a minimum depthof 4 feet. When the top of the footing is exposed, the applicator must treat thesoil adjacent to the footing to a depth not to exceed the bottom of the footing.However, in no case should a structure be treated below the footing.
Effective pre-construction subterranean termite control is achieved by theestablishment of vertical and/or horizontal insecticidal barriers using 0.06%dilution of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide.
Horizontal BarriersCreate a horizontal barrier wherever treated soil will be covered by a slab,such as footing trenches, slab floors, carports, and the soil beneath stairs andcrawl spaces.
For a 0.06%, rate apply 1 gallon of dilution per 10 square feet, or use 1 fluidoz of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per 10 square feet in suf-ficient water (no less than 1/2 gallon or more than 2 gallons) to provide thor-ough and continuous coverage of the area being treated.
If the fill is washed gravel or other coarse material, it is important that a suf-ficient amount of dilution be used to reach the soil substrate beneath thecoarse fill.
Applications shall be made by a low pressure spray (less than 50 p.s.i.) usinga coarse spray nozzle. If slab will not be poured the same day as treatment,cover treated soil with a waterproof barrier such as polyethylene sheeting.This is not necessary if foundation walls have been installed around thetreated soil.
29
Vertical BarriersVertical barriers must be established in areas such as around the base offoundations, plumbing, utility entrances, back-filled soil against foundationwalls and other critical areas.
For a 0.06% rate, apply 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per foot ofdepth or 4 fluid oz of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per 10 lin-ear feet per foot of depth from grade to top of footing in sufficient water (notless than 2 gallons or more than 8 gallons) to ensure complete coverage.
a. When trenching and rodding into the trench, or trenching, it is impor-tant that dilution reaches the top of the footing. Rod holes must bespaced so as to achieve a continuous termiticide barrier, but in nocase more than 12 inches apart.
b. Care should be taken to avoid soil wash-out around the footing.
c. Trenches need not be wider than 6 inches. Dilution should be mixedwith the soil as it is being replaced in the trench.
d. For a monolithic slab, an inside vertical barrier may not be required.
Treat hollow block voids may be treated at a rate of 2 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet so that the dilution will reach the top of the footing.
Prior to each application, applicators must notify the general contractor, construction superintendent, or similar responsible party, of the intended termiticide application and intended sites of application and instruct theresponsible person to notify construction workers and other individuals toleave the area to be treated during application and until the termiticide isabsorbed into the soil.
Post-Construction Subterranean Termite TreatmentUse a 0.06% dilution for post-construction treatment. Post-construction soilapplications shall be made by injection, trenching and rodding into the trenchor trenching, or coarse fan spray with pressures not exceeding 25 p.s.i. at thenozzle. Care should be taken to avoid soil wash-out around the footing.
Do not apply dilution until location of wells, radiant heat pipes, water andsewer lines, and electrical conduits are known and identified. Caution must betaken to avoid puncturing and injection into these elements.
Foundations: For applications made after the final grade is installed, theapplicator must trench and rod into the trench or trench along the foundationwalls and around pillars and other foundation elements, at the rate prescribedfrom grade to the top of the footing. When the footing is more than four (4)feet below grade, the applicator must trench and rod into the trench or trenchalong the foundation walls at the rate prescribed to a minimum depth of fourfeet. The actual depth of treatment will vary depending on soil type, degree ofcompaction, and location of termite activity. When the top of the footing isexposed, the applicator must treat the soil adjacent to the footing to a depthnot to exceed the bottom of the footing. However, in no case should a struc-ture be treated below the footing.
30
Slabs: Vertical barriers may be established by sub-slab injection within thestructure and trenching and rodding into the trench or trenching outside at therate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. Special caremust be taken to distribute the treatment evenly. Treatment should not extendbelow the bottom of the footing.
Treat along the outside of the foundation and where necessary beneath theslab on the inside of foundation walls. Treatment may also be requiredbeneath the slab along both sides of interior footing-supported walls, one sideof interior partitions and along all cracks and expansion joints. Horizontal bar-riers may be established where necessary by long-rodding or by grid patterninjection vertically through the slab.
a. Drill holes in the slab and/or foundation to allow for the application ofa continuous insecticidal barrier.
b. For shallow foundations (1 foot or less) dig a narrow trench approxi-mately 6 inches wide along the outside of the foundation walls. Donot dig below the bottom of the footing. The dilution should be appliedto the trench and soil at 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per footof depth as the soil is replaced in the trench.
c. For foundations deeper than 1 foot follow rates for basement.
d. Exposed soil and wood in bath traps may be treated with a 0.06%dilution.
Basements: Where the footing is greater than 1 foot of depth from grade tothe bottom of the foundation, application must be made by trenching and rod-ding into the trench, or trenching at the rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 lin-ear feet per foot of depth. When the footer is more than 4 feet below grade, theapplicator may trench and rod into the trench, or trench along foundation wallsat the rate prescribed for 4 feet of depth. Rod holes must be spaced to providea continuous insecticidal barrier, but in no case more than 12 inches apart. Theactual depth of treatment will vary depending on soil type, degree of com-paction, and location of termite activity. However, in no case should a structurebe treated below the footer. Sub-slab injection may be necessary along theinside of foundation walls, along cracks and partition walls, around pipes, con-duits, piers, and along both sides of interior footing-supported walls.
Accessible Crawl Spaces: For crawl spaces, apply vertical termiticide barri-ers at the rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per foot of depth fromgrade to the top of the footing, or if the footing is more than 4 feet belowgrade, to a minimum depth of 4 feet. Apply by trenching and rodding into thetrench, or trenching. Treat both sides of foundation and around all piers andpipes. Where physical obstructions such as concrete walkways adjacent tofoundation elements prevent trenching, treatment may be made by roddingalone. When soil type and/or conditions make trenching prohibitive, roddingmay be used. When the top of the footing is exposed, the applicator must treatthe soil adjacent to the footing to a depth not to exceed the bottom of the foot-ing. Read and follow the mixing and use direction section of the label if situ-ations are encountered where the soil will not accept the full applicationvolume.
31
1. Rod holes and trenches must not extend below the bottom of the footing.
2. Rod holes must be spaced so as to achieve a continuous termiticide bar-rier but in no case more than 12 inches apart.
3. Trenches must be a minimum of 6 inches deep or to the bottom of thefooting, whichever is less, and need not be wider than 6 inches. Whentrenching in sloping (tiered) soil, the trench must be stepped to ensureadequate distribution and to prevent termiticide from running off. Thedilution must be mixed with the soil as it is replaced in the trench.
4. When treating plenums or crawl spaces, turn off the air circulationsystem of the structure until application has been completed and alltermiticide has been absorbed by the soil.
Inaccessible Crawl Spaces: For inaccessible interior areas, such as areaswhere there is insufficient clearance between floor joists and ground surfacesto allow operator access, excavate if possible, and treat according to theinstructions for accessible crawl spaces. Otherwise, apply one or a combina-tion of the following two methods.
1. To establish a horizontal barrier, apply to the soil surface 1 gallon of dilu-tion per 10 square feet overall using a nozzle pressure of less than 25p.s.i. and a coarse application nozzle (e.g., Delavan Type RD Raindrop,RD-7 or larger, or Spraying Systems Co. 8010LP TeeJet or comparablenozzle). For an area that cannot be reached with the application wand,use one or more extension rods to make the application to the soil. Do notbroadcast or powerspray with higher pressures.
2. To establish a horizontal barrier, drill through the foundation wall orthrough the floor above and treat the soil perimeter at a rate of 1 gallonof dilution per 10 square feet. Drill spacing must be at intervals not toexceed 16 inches. Many States have smaller intervals, so check Stateregulations which may apply.
When treating plenums and crawl spaces, turn off the air circulation systemof the structure until application has been completed and all termiticide hasbeen absorbed by the soil.
Masonry Voids: Drill and treat voids in multiple masonry elements of thestructure extending from the structure to the soil in order to create a contin-uous treatment barrier in the area to be treated. Apply at the rate of 2 gallonsof dilution per 10 linear feet of footing, using a nozzle pressure of less than25 p.s.i. When using this treatment, access holes must be drilled below thesill plate and should be as close as possible to the footing as is practical.Treatment of voids in block or rubble foundation walls must be closely exam-ined: Applicators must inspect areas of possible runoff as a precaution againstapplication leakage in the treated areas. Some areas may not be treatable ormay require mechanical alteration prior to treatment.
All leaks resulting in the deposition of termiticide in locations other than thoseprescribed on this label must be cleaned up prior to leaving the applicationsite. Do not allow people or pets to contact contaminated areas or to reoccupythe contaminated areas of the structure until the clean-up is completed.
32
Note: When treating behind veneer care should be taken not to drill beyondthe veneer. If concrete blocks are behind the veneer, both the blocks and theveneer may be drilled and treated at the same time.
Not for use in voids insulated with rigid foam insulation.
Excavation Technique: If treatment must be made in difficult situations,along fieldstone or rubble walls, along faulty foundation walls, and aroundpipes and utility lines which lead downward from the structure to a well orpond, application may be made in the following manner:
a. Trench and remove soil to be treated onto heavy plastic sheeting or similarmaterial.
b. Treat the soil at the rate of 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per footof depth of the trench. Mix the dilution thoroughly into the soil, taking careto prevent liquid from running off the liner.
c. After the treated soil has absorbed the liquid dilution, replace the soil in thetrench.
Attention: When applying MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide in aconfined area, the user should wear unvented goggles and a respiratorapproved by NIOSH during application.
Foam ApplicationsMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide dilution, from 0.06% to 0.12%,may be converted to a foam with expansion characteristics from 2 to 40times.
Localized Application: The dilution may be converted to a foam and the foamused to control or prevent termite infestations.Depending on the circumstances, foam applications may be used alone or incombination with liquid dilution applications. Applications may be madebehind veneers, piers, chimney bases, into rubble foundations, into blockvoids or structural voids, under slabs, stoops, porches, or to the soil in crawlspaces, and other similar voids.Foam and liquid application must be consistent with volume and active ingre-dient instructions in order to insure proper application has been made. Thevolume and amount of active ingredient are essential to an effective treat-ment. At least 75% of the labeled liquid dilution volume of product must beapplied, with the remaining percent delivered to appropriate areas using foamapplication. Refer to label and use recommendations of the foam manufac-turer and the foaming equipment manufacturer.
Foam applications are generally a good supplement to liquid treatments indifficult areas, but may be used alone in difficult spots.
Application Under Slabs or to Soil in Crawl Spaces to Prevent or ControlTermitesApplication may be made using MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticidefoam alone or in combination with liquid dilution. The equivalent of at least4 gallons (4 oz of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide concentrate)
33
of 0.06% dilution per 10 linear feet (vertical barrier), or at least 1 gallon (1 ozof MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide concentrate) of 0.06% dilu-tion per 10 square feet (horizontal barrier) must be applied either as dilution,foam, or a combination of both. For a foam only application, apply MasterLineB MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide concentrate in sufficient foam concentra-tion and foam volume to deposit 4 oz of concentrate per 10 linear feet or 1 ozof concentrate per 10 square feet. For example, 2 gallons of 0.12% dilutiongenerated as foam to cover 10 linear feet is equal to the application of 4 gal-lons of 0.06% dilution per 10 linear feet.
Sand Barrier Installation and TreatmentTermites can build mud tubes over treated surfaces as long as they haveaccess to untreated soil and do not have to move MasterLine B MaxxPro Ter-miticide/Insecticide treated soil. Susceptible cracks and spaces can be filledwith builder’s or play box sand and the sand treated with MasterLine B MaxxProTermiticide/Insecticide. The sand should be treated as soil following the termiti-cide rate listed on the MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide label.
Retreatment for subterranean termites can only be performed if there is clearevidence of reinfestation or disruption of the barrier due to construction, exca-vation, or landscaping and/or evidence of the breakdown of the termiticidebarrier in the soil. These vulnerable or reinfested areas may be retreated inaccordance with application techniques described in this product’s labeling.The timing and type of these retreatments will vary depending on factors suchas termite pressure, soil types, soil conditions and other factors which mayreduce the effectiveness of the barrier.
Annual retreatment of the structure is prohibited unless there is clear evi-dence that reinfestation or barrier disruption has occurred.
APPLICATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE USE OF TERMITEBAITSAs part of the integrated pest management (IPM) program for termite control,MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide may be applied to critical areasof the structure including plumbing and utility entry sites, bath traps, expansionjoints, foundation cracks and areas with known or suspected infestations at arate of 0.06% as a spot treatment or complete barrier treatment. Applicationsmay be made as described in the Post-Construction Treatment section of thislabel.
TERMITE CONTROL (ABOVE GROUND ONLY)The purpose of the applications described below are to kill termite workers orwinged reproductives that may be present at the time of treatment. These appli-cations are intended as supplements to, and not substitutes for, mechanicalalteration, soil treatment or foundation treatment.
To control exposed workers and winged reproductive termites in localized areas,dilute 1.0 fluid oz of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon ofwater and apply as a course fan spray at the rate of one gallon per 1,000 squarefeet to attics, crawl spaces, unfinished basements and other void areas. Treatswarming termites as well as the areas in which they congregate.
34
To control above-ground termites in localized areas of infested wood, dilute1.0 fluid oz of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon ofwater and apply as a liquid or foam to voids and galleries in damaged wood,as well as to spaces between wooden structural members and between thesill plate and foundation where wood is vulnerable to attack. Applications maybe made to inaccessible areas by drilling and then injecting the dilution orfoam, with a suitable directional injector, into damaged wood or wall voids. Alltreatment holes drilled in construction elements in commonly occupied areasof structures should be securely plugged after treatment.
To control termite carton nests in building voids, dilute 1.0 fluid oz of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per gallon of water and applyas a liquid or foam using a pointed injection tool. Multiple injection points andvarying depths of injection may be necessary to achieve control. When possi-ble, the carton nest material should be removed from the building void aftertreatment.
LAWNSApply MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide as a broadcast treat-ment. Use application volumes of up to 10 gallons per 1,000 square feet toget uniform coverage when treating dense grass foliage.
For low volume applications, less than 2 gallons/1,000 square feet, immedi-ate irrigation of treated area with at least 0.25 inch of water following application to ensure efficacy of sub-surface pests such as, but not limited to,Mole Crickets, is recommended.
35
LAWN APPLICATION RATESThe application rates listed in the following table will provide excellent controlof the respective pests under typical conditions. However, at the discretion ofthe applicator, MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide may be appliedat up to 1 fluid oz per 1,000 square feet to control each of the pests listed inthe following Table. The higher application rates should be used when maximum residual control is desired or heavy pest populations occur.
In New York State, this product may NOT be applied to any grass or turfarea within 100 feet of a water body (lake, pond, river, stream, wetland,or drainage ditch).In New York State, do make a single repeat application of MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide if there are signs of renewed insectactivity, but not sooner than two weeks after the first application.

Comments1Armyworms, Cutworms and Sod Webworms: To ensure optimum control,delay watering (irrigation) or mowing for 24 hours after application. If the grassarea is being maintained at a mowing height of greater than 1 inch, then higherapplication rates (up to 1 fluid oz per 1,000 square feet) may be required during periods of high pest pressure.2Annual Bluegrass Weevil (Hyperodes) adults: Applications should betimed to control adult weevils as they leave their overwintering sites and moveinto grass areas. This movement generally begins when Forsythia is in fullbloom and concludes when flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) is in fullbloom. Consult your State Cooperative Extension Service for more specificinformation regarding application timing.3Billbug adults: Applications should be made when adult billbugs are firstobserved during April and May. Degree day models have been developed tooptimize application timing. Consult your State Cooperative Extension Servicefor information specific to your region. In temperate regions, spring applications targeting billbug adults will also provide control of over-winteredchinch bugs.4Black Turfgrass Ataenius adults: Applications should be made during Mayand July to control the first and second generation of black turfgrass ataeniusadults, respectively. The May application should be timed to coincide with thefull bloom stage of Vanhoutte spiraea (Spiraea vanhouttei) and horse chestnut(Aesculus hippocastanum). The July application should be timed to coincidewith the blooming of Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus).5Chinch Bugs: Chinch Bugs infest the base of grass plants and are often foundin the thatch layer. Irrigation of the grass area before treatment will optimizethe penetration of the insecticide to the area where the chinch bugs arelocated. Use higher volume applications if the thatch layer is excessive or if arelatively long mowing height is being maintained. Chinch Bugs can be one ofthe most difficult pests to control in grasses and the higher application rates(up to 1 fluid oz per 1,000 square feet) may be required to control populationsthat contain both nymphs and adults during the middle of the summer.6Mites: To ensure optimal control of eriophyid mites, apply in combination withthe labeled application rate of a surfactant. A second application, five to sevendays after the first, may be necessary to achieve acceptable control.7Flea larvae: Flea larvae develop in the soil of shaded areas that are accessi-ble to pets or other animals. Use a higher volume application when treatingthese areas to ensure penetration of the insecticide into the soil. Note: if thelawn MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide at 0.25 fluid oz per 1,000square feet for adult flea control, then the larval application rate may beachieved by increasing the application volume two- to four-fold.8Imported Fire Ants: Control will be optimized by combining broadcast appli-cations that will control foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queens withmound drenches that will control existing colonies. If the soil is not moist, thenit is important to irrigate before application or use a high volume application.

37
Apply broadcast treatments at 0.6 to 1 fluid oz per 1,000 square feet. Useenough finished volume to penetrate thatch or sod. Treat mounds by applying 1 oz MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per mound in 1 to 2 gallonswater by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat 3 feet out around themound. Use the higher volume for mounds larger than 12 inches. Treat moundswith sufficient force to break their apex and allow the insecticide solution toflow into the ant tunnels. For best results, apply in cool weather (65 – 80˚F) orin early morning or late evening hours. 9Mole Cricket adults: Achieving acceptable control of adult mole crickets is difficult because preferred grass areas are subject to continuous invasion duringthe early spring by this extremely active stage. Applications should be made aslate in the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.5 inch of waterimmediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigatebefore application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surface where contact with the insecticide will be maximized. Grass areas that receive pressurefrom adult mole crickets should be treated at peak egg hatch to ensure optimumcontrol of subsequent nymph populations (see below).10Mole Cricket nymphs: Grass areas that received intense adult mole cricketpressure in the spring should be treated immediately prior to peak egg hatch.Optimal control is achieved at this time because young nymphs are more sus-ceptible to insecticides and they are located near the soil surface where theinsecticide is most concentrated. Control of larger, more damaging nymphslater in the year may require both higher application rates and more frequentapplications to maintain acceptable control. Applications should be made as latein the day as possible and should be watered in with up to 0.5 inch of waterimmediately after treatment. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application to bring the mole crickets closer to the soil surfacewhere contact with the insecticide will be maximized.11Ticks (Including ticks that may transmit Lyme Disease and Rocky Moun-tain Spotted Fever): Do not make spot applications. Treat the entire area whereexposure to ticks may occur. Use higher spray volumes when treating areaswith dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroduced fromsurrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary to achieveand/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. Repeat applicationis necessary only if there are signs of renewed activity. Limit repeat applicationto no more than once per seven days.
Deer Ticks (Ixodes sp.) have a complicated life cycle that ranges over a two-year period and involves four life stages. Applications should be made in the latefall and/or early spring to control adult ticks that are usually located on brush orgrass above the soil surface and in mid to late spring to control larvae andnymphs that reside in the soil and leaf litter.
American Dog Ticks may be a considerable nuisance in suburban settings,particularly where homes are built on land that was previously field or forest.These ticks commonly congregate along paths or roadways where humans are

38
likely to be encountered. Applications should be made as necessary from mid-spring to early fall to control American dog tick larvae, nymphs and adults.12Crane Flies: Treatments can be made to control early to mid-season larvae(approximately August – February) as they feed on plant crowns. Treatmentsmade to late-season larvae (approximately March, April) may only providesuppression.
ORNAMENTALS AND TREESFor ornamental applications (including but not limited to trees, shrubs, groundcovers, bedding plants, and foliage plants) apply 0.125 to 1.0 fluid oz of Master-Line B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide per 1,000 square feet or 5.4 to 43.5 fluidoz per 100 gallons. MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide may be dilutedand applied in various volumes of water providing that the maximum label rate(1.0 fluid oz per 1,000 square feet or 43.5 fluid oz per 100 gallons) is notexceeded. MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide may be applied throughlow volume application equipment by dilution with water or other carriers andproviding that the maximum label rate (1.0 fluid oz per 1,000 square feet or 43.5fluid oz per 100 gallons) is not exceeded.
Apply the specified application rate as a full coverage foliar spray. Repeat treat-ment as necessary to achieve control using higher application rates as pest pres-sure and foliage area increases. Limit repeat application to no more than onceper seven days.
Certain cultivars may be sensitive to the final spray solution. A small number ofplants should be treated and observed for one week prior to application to theentire planting.
Use of an alternate class of chemistry in a treatment program is recommendedto prevent or delay pest resistance.
GREENHOUSES AND INTERIORSCAPESUse MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide, either alone or tank mixedwith other products, including insect growth regulators, to control a wide spec-trum of insects and mites on trees, shrubs, foliage plants, non-bearing fruit andnut trees, and flowers in greenhouses and interiorscapes including hotels, shop-ping malls, office buildings, etc.Calculating Dilution Rates Using the Ornamental and Greenhouse Applica-tion Rates Table and the MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/InsecticideDilution Chart (page 10): The following steps should be taken to determine theappropriate dilution of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide that isrequired to control specific pests:
1) Identify the least susceptible target pest (the pest requiring the highest application rate for control).
2) Select an application rate in terms of fluid oz of MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide.
3) Identify your application volume and how much spray mix you wantto prepare.

4) Use the Dilution Chart to determine the appropriate volume ofMasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide that must be mixed inyour desired volume of water.
ORNAMENTAL and GREENHOUSE APPLICATION RATESThe application rates listed in the following table will provide excellent controlof the respective pests under typical conditions. However, at the discretion ofthe applicator, MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide may be appliedat up to 1 fluid oz per 1,000 square feet (43.5 fluid oz per 100 gallons peracre) to control each of the pests listed in this Table. The higher applicationrates should be used when maximum residual control is desired.Apply the specified rate as a full coverage foliar spray. Repeat as necessaryto achieve control using higher rates as pest pressure and foliage increases.Certain cultivars may be sensitive to the final spray solution. A small numberof plants should be tested prior to application of the entire planting.
Use of an alternate class of chemistry in the treatment program is recom-mended to prevent or delay resistance.

AttentionPrior to applying MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide to wood sid-ing, especially rough wood siding, be sure to thoroughly agitate the tank mix-ture. Prior to treating wood siding, test a small area and allow it to dry to besure no deposits will form. Follow the same procedure when applying to woodsurfaces in direct sunlight or the heat of the day.
Application equipment that delivers low volume treatments, such as theMicro-Injector® or Actisol® applicators, may also be used to make crack andcrevice, deep harborage, spot and surface treatments of MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide.
RestrictionsDo not apply this product in a way that will contact any persons or pet eitherdirectly or through drift.
Do not apply a broadcast application to interior surfaces of homes.

Firewood is not to be burned for one month after treatment.
Use only in well ventilated areas.
Do not use on edible crops.
During any application to overhead areas within the structure, cover surfacesbelow with plastic sheeting or similar material, except for soil surfaces in crawlspaces.
12Bagworms: Apply when larvae begin to hatch and spray larvae directly.Applications when larvae are young will be most effective.13Beetles†, Scale Crawlers, Twig Borers, and Weevils: Treat trunks,stems and twigs in addition to plant foliage.14Spider Mites: MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide providesoptimal twospotted spider mite control when applied during spring to mid-summer. Higher application rates and/or more frequent treatments may berequired for acceptable twospotted spider mite control during mid- to late-summer. The addition of a surfactant or horticultural oil may increase theeffectiveness of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide. Combina-tions of MasterLine B MaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide with other regis-tered miticides have also proven effective. Alternately, MasterLine BMaxxPro Termiticide/Insecticide applications may be rotated with those ofother products that have different modes of action in control programsthat are designed to manage resistance by twospotted spider mites. Con-sult your local Cooperative Extension Service for resistance managementrecommendations in your region.
