APPLICATION FOR CONTROL OF SUBTERRANEANTERMITES

General

Maxtnor SC, in the torn) of a dilute InMctJokW sotofon, prevents and control* subterranean termiteinfestations in and around structures and other Hams by creating a continuous chemlcaly treatedzone (horizontal andfor vertical as needed) between the wood and other ceSulose material in Ihestructure and tern-pie colonies In the sol. In order to establish a barrier between the wood in thestructure and the termites In the sot, adequately duperee the solution of this product in the sofl.Maxthor SC can also used to directly treat tannte Infested wood, however such treatments shouldbe coruadefeo* to be supplementary to, and not a replacement for, soil based applications of thisproduct

To effortvely control temitetwlj -odDO, lt» service technician should be famiarwith currentternite control practices kidudii\ ring, roddkig, sub-slab and void tnjeafoo. «ri surface fanspraying, excavated soil treatment and brush, spray and Injaetlon applications to wood. Correct useof these techniques la necessary to affectively control infestations by subterranean termites such asCopfotomes, HetenXumes. fieteuSe/roes and Zoofarmquts. The service technician shouldconsider Ihe biology and behavior of the termite specie(s) to be controlled to determine whichcontrol practices to use.

Treatment standards and procedures for subterranean termite control may vary due to regulations.water table level, sfmchire design, soil types, constiuctkxi practices and other factors. For adviceconcerning current control practice* with respect to specific local condSooa, consult resources hstructural pest contra! and state cooperative extension and regulatory agencies, Foltow all federal,stale and local regulations and treatment standards for protection of a structure tram subterraneantermites.

Effective termite control may also Include mechanical alteration of the structure. Elimination ofleaks or points of moisture accumulation within or on the exterior of Ihe structure thai result in anincrease in the moisture content of wooden structural components is advised. Removal of non-essential cetulose contaWng materials that aw in contact with the ground under or around thestructure can reduce termite foraging in the area. When untreated wooden parts of the structuretouch the ground and such contact cannot be broken, creating a barrier between the soil and suchcomponents using a solution of the product may protect the components and the structure againstinfinite fltlflcfc.

Maxthcr SC is latolad for use against subterranean tenmites as a 0.06% - 0.12% solution in water,however Ihe 0.06% finished solution should be used for typical control situations. When dHficult orproblem sols or construction types an encountered, it may be necessary to use 0. 12% Mutter SCmixed in reduced volumes of water. All treatment directions contained In Ibis label may not twnecessary to provide adequate protection against termites.

Avoid contamination of water supplies due to backflow under reduced water system pressure byusing antj-backfbw equipment or procedures to prevent siphoning of any solution back Wo a watersupply. Do not contaminate cisterns or wefe. Do no! treat soil that is water saturated or frozen. Do

Mixing Directions For MaxUiorSC For Use As A TermrtfcideMX Maxthor SC for use 35 a lermrScida in the following manner.

1.FII lank 1/4 1»1Oful.

2. Start pump to begin by-pass agitation and place end of (mating too! In tank to allow circulationthrough hose.

3. Add appropriate amount of Maxthor SC.

4. Add remaining amount of water.

6. Let pump nn and alow recirculation through the hose for 2 to 3 minutes.

Maxthor SC may also be mixed Mo lul tanks of water, but substantial agitation is required toensure uniformity of Ihe solution.

Dilution of Maxflior SC for Use as a Termlticide

For termite contra), use rates for Maxthor SC are axpresnd and Ihe wluSon Is mixed according tothe percentage (X) concentration it forms when mixed In water. Use the mixing table or alternately(he formulas below to determine the amount of Maxtor SCto add to any quantity of water.

To prepare a 0.03% water solution, ready lo use, alula 3 quarts of Maodhor SC with 99.25 galons ofwater. To prepare a 0,1294 water solution, ready to use, dilute 6 quarts of Maxthor SC with 98.5gaOons of water.

Calculating an Amount of Maxthor SC to Mix

To mix any amount of bother SC lor termte control, datennine:

A = Unte of water into which the Maxthor SCwffl be mixed. Express any partial units at decimalfractions (1/2 = .5). Any unit of measure, such aa gallons or quarts, can be used for A. Answers loaquations below are in same units as A.

Maxthor SCto add toAferO.06% -AM32.3

Maxthor SC to add to A for 0.12* = A / 65.7

To convert gallons to fluid ounces, multiply number of galons X128

128 fluid ounces = IS cupi = 8 pints = 4 quartz = 1 gallon

32 fluid ounces • 1 quart

Application Volume

To provide maximum control and protection agatost termite infestation, apply the specified volumeof the finished wafer solution containing the spacsled amount of Maxlhor SC as set out below or asotherwise directed in IhSs label.

Prescribed Horizontal Banter Rita: Unless otherwise directed, horizontal barriers are created byapplying a 0.06% seJuHon at a rate of one gallon of solution per 10 square feet {One gallon ofO.C8W solution contains 1.0 fluid ounce of Maxlhor SC.)

Prescribed Vertical Barrier Rite: Unless otherwise directed/ I barriers ere cmtetf byapplying a O.utt% solution at a rats of four gallons of solution pa^ . .iear feet per feat of depth.(Four gallons of 0.06% solution content 4.0 fluid ounces of Maxtnor SC.)

Adjustments to Application VolumeIf soil wH not accept the labeled application volumes, the volume may be reduced provided there isa corresponding increase in concentration BO that the amount of active ingredient applied to the soilremains the same.

Note: Urge reductions of application volume reduce the ftefihood of obtaining a continuous barrier.Variance to allowed whan volume and concentration are consistent with label directed rates and acontinuous barrier can atil be achieved. When volume is reduced, the spacing of holes created fortub sleb injection end soi nodding may need to be reduced to account for decreased dispersion ofthe solution In trie sol.

For example, adjust the amount ot solution spp.Vsd to deliver a horizontal toner of 10 squsrafeslfrom 1 gallon to as low as 0.5 gallons end as high as 2 gallons white maintaining the amount ofMaxthor SC [1 fluid ounce) applied per 10 square feet

For example, adjust the amount of solution appied to deliver a vertical barrier 10 feet long by onefoot deep from 4 galore to as low aa 2 gallons and as high as 8 gallons whie maintaining theamount of Maxthor SC (4 fluid ounces) applied per 10 blear feet

PRE-CONSTRUCTION TREATMENTAll StructuresPra-eonstruetion treatment Do not apply at a tower dosage and/or concentration than specified onthis label for applications prior to (he nitalation of the finished grade.

Prior to each application, applicators must notify the general contractor, construction superintendent,or similar responsible party, of the Wended lurmticide application end intended sites of applicationand instruct the reiponsM* person to notify construction workers and other individuals to leave thearea to be treated during application end until the tirniKictde is knotted into the sal.

Elective control el subterranean termites can be accomplished during construction by using a0,OB% wtiUon of Maxthor SC to establsh vertical and/or horizontal barriere between the structureand the soil as Directed. To meet current termite proofing requirements, follow the procedures inthe latest ecSion of the Housing and Urban Development Minimum Property Standards.

Horizontal Barriers under Slabs on Ground including BasementsCreate a horizontal barrier on the entire surface of soi or substrate that w9 be covered by a slab,including, but not RmHed to, slab doom, garages, carports, basements, porches and entranceplatform* by treatng the soli or substrate with the solution at the Prescribed Horizontal Barrier Rate.

If Ins IB under the stab is a coarse material such as washed gravel, make sure that a sufficientenough amount of dilution it applied that the solution reaches the soil beneath the til.

Apply solution using a coarse spray nozzle. If the slab ever the treated area will not be poured onthe same day as the applcafion (and there are no foundation walls in place around the treated soil)cover treated soil with a water-proof barrier such as polyethylene sheeting.

Vertical BarriersCreate a vertical barrier along the Inside and outside of foundation walls, around piers, plumbingand ut Jity service entrances and other points of passible future termite access and entry by treatingthe soil at these points at the Prescribed Vertical Banter Rale. When trenching and roddkuj into thetrench, or tremhing done, it is important thai the solution reaches the top of the fooling. Rod holesmust be spaced so as to achieve e continuous termUlcWa) barrier, but they should in no case bemore than 12 inches apart. Tranches need not be wider than 6 Inches. Mix tha solution into the soilas it is being replaced in tha trench. Care should be taken to avoid washing aoi out from aroundfootings thereby undermining the stability of the structure. An Inside vertical barrier may not berequired fora monolithic slab.If distance from final grade to top of footing wil be less than four feet, it a permissible to wait untilfinal grade to established to apply the vertical barrier. When treating foundations deeper than 4 feet,apply the lermlticide es tie backfill is being replaced, or if the construction contractor falls to notifythe applicator In time to permit this, treat ths foundation to a minimum death of 4 feet after thebackfSI has been installed. The applicator must Irencn and rod into the trench or trench along thsfoundation walls and around pillare and other foundation elements, at IN ate presetted fromgrade to a minimum depth of 4 feet When the top of Ihe roofing Is exposed, the applicator musttreat the sol adjacent to the fooling lo a depth notto exceed tha bottom of Ihe footing. However, inno case should a structure be treated below Ihe footing.

Hollow Block Foundations and VoidsHollow block foundations end voids may be treated at a rate of 2 gallons of solution par 10 linearbet to create a continuous treated zone wBtin the voids at tha footing.

POST CONSTRUCTION TREATMENT

All StructuresDo not apply treatment until the Identity and location of all weds, radiant heat pipes, voter andsewer lines, electrical conduits and sub-slap beating and air conditioning ducts is established.Caution must be taken to avoid puncturing these elements and/or injecting solution into them. ADholes it commonly occupied areas Into which material has been applied must be plugged. Plugsmust be of a non-cellulose malarial or covered by an impervious, non-cetluloae material.

Vertical Barrier Depth: For applications made after the final grade it installed, Ihe applicator musttrench end rod into tho (ranch or trench abng the foundation wals and around pillars and otherfoundation elements end treat at the rate prescribed from grade to the top of tha footing. When Iheroofing is more than four (4) feet below grade, the applicator must trench and rod into trie (ranch orbench along the foundation wale and treat at the rate prescribed lo a minimum depth of tour reel.Ihe actual depth of treatment wll vary depending on Ihe sol type, degree of compaction, andlocation of Urmia activity. Whan Ihe top of the footing ia exposed, the appScator must treat the soiladjacent to the tooting to a depth not to exceed the bottom of the footing. However, in no caseshould a structure be treated beta* (he footing.

Structure* Containing Concrete Slabs on Ground(MonollthldRoattng/Supported) Including BasementsTo make an appicabon beneath existing slabs, it may be necessary to drill holes in the slab oradjacent foundation and to apply solution. Holes should bo spaced such mat when treatment isapplied through them, a continuous treated zone is applied btraatti (ha dab.

Verticil Barriers Along Exterior of Foundation Wans: Trench and rod into the trench or trenchalong Ihe outside of foundation walls and treat at the Prescribed Vertical Barrier Rate to the depthspecified under Vertical Barrier Depth. Where physical obstructions such as concrete walkwaysadjacent to foundation elements or soil type endfar conditions make trenching prohWtfvo, treatmentmay be made by redding alone.

Vertical Banian Along Interior of Foundation Wills: Vertical barriers may be established onIhe Interior aide of foundation walls by sub-dab injection of the solution at the Prescribed VerticalBarrier Rate. Injection openings can be drilraf either verticaty through the slab along Ihe Interior ofthe foundation wall or horizontally from the exterior through the foundation wall tow enough on thewan to allow for the deposition of Ihe solution beneath tha slab along Ihe interior aide of the

Application Recommendations Against Specific Ornamental Pest*

Bagworms: Spray when bagworms first begin to hatch. Apply directly to the larvae. Treatment ismost effective against young larvae.

STRUCTURAL PESTS (OTHER THAN WOOD INFESTINGINSECTS)

Maxtttor SC controls a wide range of structural pasts Including nuisance pesU inside and outside ofstructures. Maxtftor SC can be appled in and around any type or residential or commercialstructure, bulking or mode of transport inciudJna foooWeed handing estabBshmams unlessotherwise prohibited. Permuted sites Include but are not limned to the Interior end exterior of homes,office buildings, mobile and modular hornet, apartments and stores. Do not apply within aircraftcabins.

Dilution of Haxthor SC for Structural Pests

For structural pests, use rates for Maxlhor SC are expressed and mixed according to thepercentage O) concentration solution K forms when mixed in water. Each 0.186 fluid ounce (1teaspoon) of Maxthor SC that is added to one ga&m of water increases the concentration ofMaxthor SC in that one gallon of water by 0.01 H. For example, to make a 0.06% sohtton in onegallon of water, mix 1 fluid ounce (6 teaspoons) of Mexlhor SC in one gallon of water. Use theconversion table and formulas below to determine the amount of Maxthor SC to add to any quantityof water.
