of institutional,
warehousing and commercial establishments, including warehouses, restaurants,food processing plants, supermarkets, hospitals, nursing homes, motels, hotels,
schools, laboratories, computer facilities, sewers, aircraft, buses,boats/ships,trains, pet shops, and zoos.
Non-food/non feed areas are ares such as garbage rooms, lavatories, floor drains,(to sewers) entries, and vestibules,
offices,locker rooms, machine rooms,boiler rooms,garages, mop closets and storage(after canning or bottling). This product may also be used in
food/feed areas of food/feed handling establishments as outlined below.
Application:
Application rate is dependent on level of infestation and species to be controlled.
Bait can be applied as spots or as a bead in cracks
and crevices. The lowered application rate should be used for low
to moderate infestations or re-treatments, and the higher rate for
more
severe infestations or where the population occurs in inaccessible
areas, such as in walls.
Gel placements should be at or near harborages or aggregating areas,
such as corners, areas of movement or cracks and crevices.
Numerous smaller placements will provide faster control that
fewer larger spots, especially for German cockroach control.
Priority treatment areas may be identified by visual inspection
of such areas listed above or aided by trapping techniques using
such traps as

FOR OUTDOOR USE
Place bait in areas adjacent to structures where roaches may rest or breed. Apply bait to
potential points of insect entry, such as eaves, sills, and expansion joints.
Apply bait to protected areas whenever possible. Environmental stresses such as
direct sunlight and water will reduce the residual effectiveness.
APPLICATIONS IN FOOD/FEED HANDLING ESTABLISHMENTS:
Application within food/feed
or areas of food/feed handling establishments is limited to crack and crevice treatment
only.
Apply with the bait gun injector directly into cracks and crevices.
Place end of applicator
1/2 inch into cracks, crevices, holes,and other small openings where roaches may nest or breed.
Apply small amounts of gel ( up to 1/2 gram) per spot. Do not apply bait to areas where
food/feed , utensils or processing surfaces may become contaminated.
Do not apply bait to areas that are routinely washed such as cracks and crevice into tops of
tables, food/feed preparation and prepared food holding surfaces as bait may be removed by washing.
Do not apply bait to surfaces where the temperature exceeds 130 degrees F as bait may run.
Examples include, but are not limited to, portions of stoves,ovens, grills, fume hoods,
heat lamps, coffee urns,steam tables, toasters, fryers, dishwashers and hot water pipes.
Care should be taken to avoid depositing gel onto exposed surfaces.
If gel contacts
an exposed surface, remove gel and wash exposed surface.
Food/feed areas include areas for receiving, storage,packing(canning,bottling, wrapping,
boxing), preparing edible waste storage, and enclosed processing systems (mills, dairies, edible oils, syrups).
Serving areas are also considered a a food/feed area when food is exposed and facility is in operation.
Apply bait in small amounts between different elements of construction, between equipment and floors,
openings leading into voids and hollow spaces in floors, walls, ceilings,equipment legs and bases, around
plumbing pipes, doors and windows, behind and under refrigerator, cabinets, sinks, closets, stoves and
other equipment where cockroaches hide.
During follow-up visits inspect bait placements and reapply when
necessary.
Application of this product in food/feed handling establishments other than as a crack and crevice treatment
is not permitted.
Keep exposed gel away form open food and food contact surfaces. Do not treat food preparation surfaces.
Do not apply bait gel to areas which have been recently sprayed with insecticide, and do not spray insecticide over gel,
as it may cause the bait to become repellent.
