Application Notes

Application rates vary by pest and use site. Lawn treatments generally range from 0.18 to 1.0 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft. Structural and perimeter programs commonly use a 0.02% to 0.06% finished suspension, equivalent to approximately 0.33 to 1.0 fl oz of Bi-Dash per gallon of water. Ornamental applications range from 0.125 to 1.0 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft depending on the target pest and desired residual control.

For subterranean termite treatments, prepare a 0.06% emulsion using approximately 1 fl oz of Bi-Dash per gallon of finished solution and follow all labeled application-volume, trenching, rodding, injection, foam, and barrier requirements. Food-handling applications have additional restrictions regarding exposed food, equipment, and operating facilities. Do not allow people or pets to contact treated surfaces until sprays have dried, and follow all site-specific directions and environmental restrictions on the product label.
