PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
Important
Permethrin SFR is toxic to fish. Exercise care when
making applications near ponds, lakes, streams,
reservoirs and other aquatic environments where fish
are present.
Permethrin SFR may also be used as a spot application
in crawl spaces and indoors to carpeting, wood, tile,
concrete or other structural building materials as a
crack and crevice injection, or paint-on treatment.
Consult tables for specific use instructions.
Permethrin SFR can be applied to interior plantscapes,
and landscape ornamental gardens including parks,
lawns and grounds.
For advice concerning current control practices with
relation to specific local conditions, consult your local
State Cooperative Extension or regulatory agencies.
Permethrin SFR is formulated as an emulsifiable
concentrate (EC) formulation and is to be diluted
with water and applied as an emulsion. When tank
mixing as an emulsion with other products, observe
all precautions and limitations on the labels of each
product in the mixture.
8
Permethrin SFR can be tank-mixed with pyrethrin-
containing products or Insect Growth Regulators
(IGRs). Do not tank mix with dichlorvos (DDVP) or
other fumigant products. Do not tank mix when
applied as a soil termiticide.
Applications for the Control of
Subterranean Termites
Product Application Instructions
Permethrin SFR acts as an insecticidal barrier to control
and prevent subterranean termite (Coptotermes,
Heterotermes, Reticulitermes and Zootermopsis)
infestations in and around structures. For effective
control the insecticide emulsion must be adequately
dispersed in the soil to establish a barrier between
the structure and the termites in the soil. To establish
an effective insecticidal barrier with this product the
proper control practices and application techniques
should be selected by a trained service technician
familiar with current termite control practices.
When treating adjacent to an existing structure, the
applicator must check the area to be treated, and
immediately adjacent areas of the structure, for
visible and accessible cracks and holes to prevent any
leaks or significant exposures to persons occupying
the structure. People present or residing in the
structure during application must be advised to
remove their pets and themselves from the structure
if they see any signs of leakage. After application,
the applicator is required to check for leaks. All leaks
resulting in the deposition of termiticide in locations
other than those prescribed on this label must be
cleaned up prior to leaving the application site. Do
not allow people or pets to contact contaminated
areas or to reoccupy contaminated areas of the
structure until the clean up is completed.
9
When applying Permethrin SFR indoors, procedures
should include structural design consideration and
variable post-application effects from heating,
ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC).
Outdoor application procedures should include
consideration of such variable factors effected by soil
type, soil compaction, grade conditions, utilities and,
location and type of domestic water supply.
To prevent contamination of public and private water
supplies follow these procedures: Use anti-backflow
equipment or procedures to prevent siphonage of
insecticide into water supplies. Do not contaminate
wells or cisterns.
STRUCTURES WITH WELLS/CISTERNS INSIDE
FOUNDATIONS
Structures that contain wells or cisterns within the
foundation of a structure 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 treated outside/away
from the foundation. The treated backfill
technique is 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 dilute emulsion 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.
(c) After the treated soil has absorbed the diluted
emulsion, replace the soil into the trench.
10
(2) Treat infested and/or damaged wood in
place using an injection technique such as
described in the Control of Wood Infesting
Insects section of this label.
STRUCTURES WITH ADJACENT WELLS/CISTERNS
AND/OR OTHER WATER BODIES
Applicators must inspect all structures with nearby
water sources such as wells, cisterns, surface
ponds, streams, and other bodies of water and
evaluate, at a minimum, the treatment instructions
listed below prior to making an application.
(1) 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 feet of grade.
(2) Prior to treatment applicators are advised
to take precautions to limit the risk of
applying the termiticide into subsurface
drains that could empty into any bodies
of water. These precautions include
evaluating whether application of the
termiticide to the top of the footer may
result in contamination of the subsurface
drain. Factors such as depth to the drain
system and soil type and degree of
compaction should be taken into account
in determining the depth of treatment.
(3) When appropriate (i.e., on the water side of
the structure), the treated backfill technique
(described above) can also be used to
minimize offsite movement of termiticide.
11
Application Rate: Use a 0.5% emulsion for
subterranean termites. For other pests on the label
use specific listed rates.
The dilute pesticide emulsion must be adequately
dispensed in the soil to establish a barrier between
the wood and the termites in the soil. As a good
practice: 1) all non-essential wood and cellulose-
containing materials should be removed from
around foundation walls, crawl spaces and porches;
2) eliminate termite access to moisture by repairing
faulty plumbing and/or construction grade. Soil
around untreated structural wood in contact with
soil should be treated as described below.
To establish an effective insecticidal barrier with
this product, the service technician must be
familiar with current termite control practices
such as: trenching, rodding, sub-slab injection,
coarse fan spraying of soil surfaces, crack
and crevice (void) injection, excavated soil
treatment, and brush or spray applications to
infested or susceptible wood. These techniques
must be correctly employed to prevent or control
infestations to subterranean termites such as
Coptotermes, Heterotermes, Reticulitermes,
and Zootermopsis. The biology and behavior of
the species involved should be considered by the
service technician in determining which control
practices to use to eliminate or prevent termite
infestation.
12
Important:
Contamination of public and private water supplies
must be avoided by following these procedures: Use
anti-backflow equipment or procedures to prevent
siphonage of insecticide into water supplies. Do not
contaminate cisterns or wells.
Do not treat soil that is water saturated or frozen or
in any conditions where runoff or movement from the
treatment area (site) is likely to occur.
Do not treat while precipitation is occurring.
Do not apply to drainage systems such as sumps, french
drains, leach beds or other effluent discharge systems.
Follow all State and Local specifications for
recommended treatment distances of wells and
aquatic habitat.
All holes in commonly occupied areas into which
material has been applied must be plugged. Plugs
must be of a non-cellulose material or covered by an
impervious, non-cellulose material.
Note: Crawlspaces are considered inside of structure.
Critical Areas: Critical areas include areas where the
foundation is penetrated by utility services, cracks and
expansion joints, bath traps and areas where cement
constructions have been poured adjacent to the
foundation such as stairs, patios, and slab additions.

* See Application Volume Considerations section for Pre- & Post-Construction Applications below.
Common Units of Measure:
1 pint = 16 fluid ounces (oz.)
1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 128 oz.
Mix the termiticide use dilution in the following manner:
1. Fill tank 1/4 to 1/3 full.
2. Start pump to begin bypass agitation and place end of
treating tool in tank to allow circulation through hose.
3. Add appropriate amount of Permethrin SFR.
(See Rate/Volume Conversion Chart)
4. Add remaining amount of water.
5. Let pump run and allow recirculation through
the hose for 2 to 3 minutes.
Application Volume: To provide maximum control
and protection against termite infestation apply
the specified volume of the finished water emulsion
and active ingredient as set forth in the directions
for use section of this label. If soil will not accept
the labeled application volume, the volume may be
reduced provided there is a corresponding increase
in concentration so that the amount of active
ingredient applied to the soil remains the same.
NOTE: Large reductions of application volume
reduce the ability to obtain a continuous
barrier. Variance is allowed when volume and
concentration are consistent with label directed
rates and a continuous barrier can still be achieved.
Pre- and Post-Construction Applications
Application Volume Considerations: Adjustments
to application volumes are often needed to ensure
thorough and complete coverage in different soil
types while keeping the application rate as close
as possible to the specified labeled use rate.
Certain types of soils, such as clay, require lower
volumes of water due to their low permeability
characteristics. In such cases reduced volumes
15
of emulsion can be used while still delivering the
necessary concentration of termiticide to the soil
(see Rate/Volume Conversion Chart above).
Application Volume Adjustments: Where
necessary to reduce the application volume for pre-
and post-construction treatments, the volume of a
1.0% emulsion may be reduced by 1/2 the labeled
volume or a 2.0% emulsion may be applied at 1/4
the labeled volume (see Volume Adjustments for
Horizontal and Vertical Applications).
Pre-Construction Treatment
Do not apply this product as a pre-construction
treatment in the state of Florida.
Permethrin SFR may be applied as a vertical
and/or horizontal insecticidal barrier to control
or prevent infestation of subterranean termites
using a 0.5% emulsion.
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 the responsible person
to notify construction workers and other individuals
to leave the area to be treated during application
and until the termiticide is absorbed into the soil.
DO NOT APPLY AT A LOWER DOSAGE AND/OR
CONCENTRATION THAN SPECIFIED ON THIS LABEL
FOR APPLICATIONS PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION
OF THE FINISHED GRADE.
The treatment site must be covered prior to a rain
event in order to prevent runoff of the pesticide
into non-target areas.
16
The applicator must either cover the soil him/
herself or provide written notification of the above
requirement to the contractor on site and to the
person commissioning the application (if different
from the contractor). If notice is provided to
the contractor or the person commissioning the
application, then they 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 soil is covered with
a waterproof covering (such as polyethylene
sheeting), and 2) the treated soil is covered if
precipitation is predicted to occur before the
concrete 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 of aquatic habitats (such
as, but not limited to, lakes; reservoirs; rivers;
permanent streams; marshes or ponds; estuaries;
and commercial fish farm ponds).
Do not make on-grade applications when
sustained wind speeds are above 10 mph (at
application site) at nozzle end height.
17
When treating foundations deeper than 4 feet, apply
the termiticide as the backfill is being replaced, or
if the construction contractor fails to notify the
applicator to permit this, treat the foundation to a
minimum depth of 4 feet after the backfill has been
installed. The applicator must trench and rod into
the trench or trench along the foundation walls and
around pillars and other foundation elements, at
the rate prescribed from grade to a minimum depth
of 4 feet. When the top of the footing is exposed,
the applicator must treat the soil 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.
Horizontal Barrier: Pre-construction horizontal
termiticide barrier applications are most commonly
made to soil that will be covered (i.e., concrete slabs
and footings, porches, stairs and crawl spaces).
Using a coarse spray nozzle at low pressure (less
than 50 psi) apply 1 gallon of a 0.5% emulsion per 10
square feet. If fill consists of gravel or other coarse
material use a rate of 1.5 gallons of a 0.5% emulsion
per 10 square feet (see Volume Adjustment Chart
below). If more than 24 hours is expected between
the time of application and pouring of the concrete,
it is recommended that the site be covered with a
water proof barrier (polyethylene).
18
Vertical Barrier: Vertical barriers must be
established in areas such as around the base
of foundations, plumbing, utility entrances,
backfilled soil against foundation walls, and other
critical areas.
For a 0.5% rate, apply 4 gallons of dilution per 10
linear feet per foot of depth or 6.4 fluid ounces of
Permethrin SFR per 10 linear feet of depth from
grade to top of footing in sufficient water (no less
than 2 gallons or more than 8 gallons) to ensure
complete coverage.
1. When trenching and rodding into the
trench or trenching, it is important that
emulsion reaches the top of the footing.
Rod holes must be spaced so as to achieve
a continuous insecticidal barrier, but in no
case more than 12 inches apart.
2. Care should be taken to avoid soil wash-out
around footing.
3. Trenches need not be wider than 6 inches.
Emulsion should be mixed with the soil as it
is being replaced in the trench.
4. For a monolithic slab, an inside vertical
barrier may not be required.
Hollow block voids may be treated at a rate of 2
gallons of emulsion per 10 linear feet so that the
emulsion will reach the top of the footing.

Post-Construction Treatment
Apply Permethrin SFR by injection, rodding
and/or trenching as a 0.5% emulsion for post-
construction treatment. Do not use excessive
pressure (above 25 psi) when injecting to avoid
soil wash-out around the foundation.
Do not apply emulsion until location of wells,
radiant heat pipes, water and sewer lines, and
electrical conduits are known and identified. Care
must be taken to avoid puncturing and injection
into these elements.
Foundations: For applications made after the final
grade is installed, the applicator must trench and
rod into the trench or trench along the foundation
walls and around pillars and other foundation
elements, at the rate prescribed from grade to the
top of the footing. When the footing is more than
four (4) feet below grade, the applicator must
20
trench and rod into the trench or trench along
the foundation walls at the rate prescribed to a
minimum depth of four feet. The actual depth
of treatment will vary depending on soil type,
degree of compaction, and location of termite
activity. When the top of the footing is exposed,
the applicator must treat the soil 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.
Treating Slabs: Vertical barrier applications may
be established by sub-slab injection within the
structure and rodding and trenching / or trenching
outside using a treatment rate of 4 gallons of
emulsion per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. If
necessary, adjust the spacing of the drill holes, or
volume required (see Volume Adjustment Chart
above) for adequate dispersal of the emulsion in
the slab sub-soil.
Note: Sub-slab volume adjustments greater than
1% are not recommended. Treatment should not
extend below the bottom of the footing. Treat
along the outside of the foundation and where
necessary beneath the slab on the inside of the
foundation walls. Treatment may also be required
beneath the slab along both sides of interior
footing-supported walls, one side of interior
partitions and along all cracks and expansion
joints. Horizontal barriers may be established
where necessary by long-rodding or by grid pattern
injection vertically through the slab. Plug all holes
in the interior structure after injection.
21
1. Drill holes in the slab and/or foundation to allow
for the application of a continuous insecticidal
barrier no more than 12 inches apart.
2. For shallow foundations (1 foot or less) dig a
narrow trench approximately 6 inches wide
along the outside of the foundation walls. Do
not dig below the bottom of the footing. The
emulsion should be applied to the trench and
soil at 4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of
depth as the soil is replaced in the trench.
3. For foundations deeper than 1 foot follow the
rates for basements.
4. Exposed soil in bath traps may be treated
with a 0.5% emulsion.
Basements and Crawl Spaces
Basements
Where the footing is greater than 1 foot in depth from
grade to the bottom of the foundation, application
must be made by trenching and rodding into this trench,
or injecting at the rate of 4 gallons of emulsion per 10
linear feet per foot of depth. When the footing is more
than 4 feet below grade, the applicator may trench and
rod into the trench, or trench along foundation walls at
the rate prescribed for 4 feet of depth. Rod holes must
be spaced so as to achieve a continuous termiticide
barrier, but in no case more than 12 inches apart. The
actual depth of treatment will vary depending on soil
type, degree of compaction, and location of termite
activity. However, in no case should a structure be
treated below the footing. Sub-slab injection may be
necessary along the inside of foundation walls, along
cracks and partition walls, around pipes, conduits, piers,
and along both sides of interior footing-supported walls.
22
Accessible Crawl Spaces
For crawl spaces, apply vertical termiticide barriers at the
rate of 4 gallons of emulsion per 10 linear feet per foot
of depth from grade to the top of the footing, or if the
footing is more than 4 feet below grade, to a minimum
depth of 4 feet. Apply by trenching and rodding into the
trench, or trenching. Treat both sides of foundation and
around all piers and pipes. Where physical obstructions,
such as concrete walkways adjacent to foundation
elements, prevent trenching, treatment may be made
by rodding alone. When soil type and/or conditions make
trenching prohibitive, rodding may be used. When the top
of the footing is exposed, the applicator must treat the
soil adjacent to the footing to a depth not to exceed the
bottom of the footing. Read and follow the mixing and use
direction section of the label if situations are encountered
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 chemical 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 stepped to ensure adequate distribution and
to prevent termiticide from running off. The
emulsion must be mixed with the soil as it is
replaced in the trench.
4) When treating crawl spaces, turn off the
air circulation system of the structure until
application has been completed and all
termiticide has been absorbed by the soil.
23
Inaccessible Crawl Spaces
For inaccessible interior areas, such as areas
where there is insufficient clearance between
floor joists and ground surfaces to allow operator
access, excavate, if possible, and treat 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 emulsion per 10 sq. ft.
overall using a nozzle pressure of less than 25
p.s.i. and a coarse application nozzle (e.g.,
Delavan Type RD Raindrop, RD7 or larger,
or Spraying Systems Co. 8010LP TeeJet or
comparable nozzle). 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 not broadcast or
powerspray with higher pressures.
2) To establish a horizontal barrier, drill through
the foundation wall or through the floor
above and treat the soil perimeter at a rate
of 1 gallon of emulsion per 10 square feet. Drill
spacing must be at intervals not to exceed 16
inches. Many states have smaller intervals
so check state regulations which may apply.
When treating crawl spaces, turn off the
air circulation system of the structure until
application has been completed and all termiticide
has been absorbed by the soil.
24
It is highly recommended that prior to treatment,
inadequately ventilated crawl spaces be brought
into compliance with FHA Minimum Property
Standards specifying 1 square foot of ventilator
opening per 150 square feet of crawl space area.
When treating crawl spaces with plenums, turn off
all air circulation systems for the structure until
application has been completed and all termiticide
has been absorbed by the soil.
Wear respiratory protection when treating crawl spaces.
Masonry or Hollow Block Voids: Drill and treat
voids in multiple masonry elements of the structure
extending from the structure to the soil in order
to create a continuous treatment barrier in the
area to be treated. Apply at the rate of 2 gallons
of emulsion per 10 linear feet of footing using a
nozzle pressure of less than 25 p.s.i. When using
this treatment, access holes must be drilled below
the sill plate and should be as close as possible to
the footing as is practical. Care should be exercised
not to drill entirely through and into the structure.
Treatment of voids in block or rubble foundation
walls must be closely examined. Applicators must
inspect areas of possible runoff as a precaution
against application leakage in the treated areas.
Some areas may not be treatable or may require
mechanical alteration prior to treatment. All leaks
resulting in the deposition of termiticide in locations
other than those prescribed on this label must be
cleaned up prior to leaving the application site. Do
not allow people or pets to contact contaminated
areas or to reoccupy the contaminated areas of the
structure until the clean up is completed.
25
In treating voids containing rigid foam insulation,
holes must be drilled through the sillplate and
through the foam to the base of the footing before
the emulsion is applied.
Use low pressure to ensure penetration of the
emulsion into the void area between the base of
the foam and footer. Slowly remove the spray rod
as the emulsion is being delivered, avoiding excess
buildup in the foam insulation.
Note: When treating behind veneer, care should
be taken not to drill beyond the veneer. If concrete
blocks are behind the veneer, both the blocks and the
veneer may be drilled and treated at the same time.
Excavation Technique: If treatment must be made in
difficult situations, such as near wells, cisterns, along
fieldstone or rubble walls, along faulty foundation
walls, or around pipes and utility lines which lead
downward from the structure to a well or pond,
application may be made in the following manner:
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
emulsion per 10 linear feet per foot of depth
of the trench. Mix the emulsion thoroughly
into the soil taking care to prevent liquid
from running off the liner.
c. After the treated soil has absorbed the liquid
emulsion, replace the soil in the trench.
Prior to using this technique near wells or
cisterns, consult state, local or federal agencies
for information regarding approved treatment
practices in your area.
26
Foam Applications
Permethrin SFR emulsion may be converted to a
foam, and the foam used to control and prevent
termite infestation. When applying the product as
either a foam application alone, or in combination
with an emulsion treatment, do not exceed the
maximum-labeled application rate. Exercise care
and safety around electrical utilities. Note location
of electrical sources prior to foaming voids to avoid
possible shock hazard.
Localized Application
Foam may be used to treat voids to control or
prevent localized infestations of: termites, ants,
bees, wasps or other arthropods harboring in voids.
Application may be made to voids such as: behind
veneers, piers (concrete or wood), chimneys, into
rubble and stone foundations, into block voids,
structural voids (i.e., between stud walls), poles,
stumps, and wood in crawlspaces using either the
foam alone or in combination with liquid emulsion.
Note location of electrical sources prior to foaming
voids to avoid possible shock hazards.
Application Under Slabs or to Soil in Crawlspaces
to Prevent or Control Termites
Application may be made using Permethrin SFR
foam alone or in combination with liquid emulsion.
The equivalent of at least 4 gallons (6.4 oz. of
Permethrin SFR concentrate) of 0.5% emulsion per
10 linear feet (vertical barrier), or at least 1 gallon
(1.6 oz. of Permethrin SFR concentrate) of 0.5%
emulsion per 10 square feet (horizontal barrier)
must be applied either as emulsion, foam, or a
27
combination of both. For a foam only application,
apply Permethrin SFR concentrate in sufficient
foam concentration and foam volume to deposit
6.4 oz. of concentrate per 10 linear feet or 1.6 oz.
of concentrate per 10 square feet. For example,
1 gallon of 2% emulsion generated as foam to
cover 10 linear feet is equal to the application of 4
gallons of 0.5% emulsion per 10 linear feet.
Foam and liquid application must be consistent
with volume and active ingredient instructions in
order to ensure proper application has been made.
The volume and amount of active ingredient are
essential to an effective treatment. At least 75% of
the labeled liquid emulsion volume of product must
be applied, with the remaining percent delivered
to appropriate areas using foam application.
Refer to label and use recommendations of the
foam manufacturer and the foaming equipment
manufacturer.
Foam applications are generally a good
supplement to liquid treatments in difficult areas,
but may be used alone in difficult spots.
Sand Barrier Installation and Treatment
Termites can build mud tubes over treated surfaces
as long as they have access to untreated soil and do
not have to move Permethrin SFR-treated soil. Fill
in cracks and spaces with builder’s or play box sand
and treat the sand with Permethrin SFR. The sand
should be treated as soil following the termiticide
rates listed on the Permethrin SFR label.
28
Retreatment Intervals
Retreatment for subterranean termites can only be
performed if there is clear evidence of reinfestation
or disruption of the barrier due to construction,
excavation, or landscaping and/or evidence of
the breakdown of the termiticide barrier in the
soil. These vulnerable or reinfested areas may
be retreated in accordance with application
techniques described in this product’s labeling. The
timing and type of these retreatments will vary,
depending on factors such as termite pressure, soil
types, soil conditions and other factors which may
reduce the effectiveness of the barrier.
Annual retreatment of the structure is prohibited
unless there is clear evidence that reinfestation or
barrier disruption hasoccurred.
Pest Control Specialty Applications
Permethrin SFR has demonstrated excellent plant
safety; however, not all cultivars have been tested.
Before treating large numbers of plants of a
particular cultivar, treat a few plants and observe
prior to full scale application.
Use the higher rates for heavy pest infestations.
Use sufficient volume to cover plant surface.
Higher volumes should be used if arid or drought
conditions exist. Repeat applications as necessary
to maintain control.
Do not apply more than 2.0 lb. a.i./Acre/Year for
lawn and ornamental use.
29
Spray Drift Precautions:
Permethrin SFR may be applied by most
conventional ground application sprayers. Exercise
care not to apply when wind velocity favors non-
target movement or temperature inversions.
Do not apply by air.
Do not apply within 25 feet of lakes, reservoirs,
rivers, permanent streams, marshes or natural
ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds.
Underground Structures and Services
Posts, Poles, and Other Constructions: Previously
installed poles and posts may be treated by sub-
surface injection. Treat on all sides to create a
continuous insecticidal barrier around the pole.
Use 1 gallon of a 0.5% emulsion per foot of depth
for poles and posts less than six inches in diameter.
For larger poles, use 1.5 gallons of emulsion per
foot of depth. Apply to a depth of 6 inches below
the bottom of the wood. For larger diameter
constructions, use 4 gallons of emulsion per 10
linear feet per foot of depth.
To control wood infesting insects, such as,
termites, ants, carpenter ants, wood infesting
beetles (Old House Borer, Powder Post), bees,
wasps, hornets and yellow-jackets in posts, poles
and other wood constructions in and around
structures, paint on, spot spray, or fan spray a
0.5% emulsion to voids and galleries in damaged
wood and in spaces between wooden members of
a structure and between wood and foundation
where wood is vulnerable. Plastic sheeting must
be placed immediately below overhead areas
30
that are spot treated except for soil surfaces
in crawlspaces. Application may be made to
inaccessible areas by drilling, and then injecting
emulsion with a crack and crevice injector into
the damaged wood or void spaces. This type of
application is not intended to be a substitute
for soil treatment, mechanical alteration or
fumigation to control extensive infestation of
wood-infesting insects.
Control of Bees and Wasps Indoors: To control
bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets apply
a 0.5% emulsion. Application should be made in
the late evening when insects are at rest. Spray
liberally into hiding and breeding places, especially
under attic rafters, contacting as many insects as
possible. Repeat as necessary.
Termite carton nests in trees or building voids
may be injected with 0.5% to 1.0% emulsion.
Multiple injection points to varying depths may
be necessary. It is desirable to physically remove
carton nest material from building voids when
such nests are found.
Important: Do not apply emulsion until location
of heat pipes, ducts, water and sewer lines and
electrical conduits are known and identified. Care
must be taken to avoid puncturing and injection
into these structural elements. Do not apply into
electrical fixtures, switches, or sockets.
Services: Permethrin SFR may be applied as a
soil treatment to control termites and ants from
attacking underground services, such as, utility
lines, pipes, cables, conduits and wires.
31
Apply 2 to 4 gallons of a 0.5% emulsion per 10
linear feet to the bottom of the trench and allow
to soak into the soil. Lay services on the treated
soil and cover with approximately 2 inches of fill
soil. Apply another 2 to 4 gallons per 10 linear feet
over the soil surface to complete the treatment
barrier. Volume adjustments for non-porous soils
can be made by using 1 to 2 gallons of a 1.0%
emulsion per 10 linear feet of trench.
Do not treat electrically active underground services.
Pest Control on Outside Surfaces and
Around Buildings
All outdoor applications must be limited to spot or
crack-and-crevice treatments only, except for the
following permitted uses:
(1) Treatment to soil or vegetation around structures;
(2) Applications to lawns, turf, and other vegetation;
(3) Applications to building foundations, up to
a maximum height of 3 feet.
Other than applications to building foundations,
all outdoor applications to impervious surfaces
such as sidewalks, driveways, patios, porches and
structural surfaces (such as windows, doors, and
eaves) are limited to spot and crack-and-crevice
applications only.
Not for use in outdoor residential misting systems.
Broadcast Treatment for Control of Nuisance Pests:
Apply using a 0.5% emulsion as a residual spray to
outside surfaces of buildings including, but not limited
to, exterior siding, foundations, porches, window
frames, eaves, patios, garages, and refuse dumps.
32
Lawns: Permethrin SFR can be applied to lawns
adjacent to or around private homes, duplexes,
townhouses, condominiums, house trailers,
apartment complexes, carports, garages, fence
lines, storage sheds, barns, residential structures,
commercial and institutional buildings, and other
areas where pests congregate or have been seen.
Repeat treatment as necessary to maintain
effectiveness.
Perimeter Treatment: Apply a band application
6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the
structure. Also, treat the base of the structure to a
height of 2 to 3 feet. Use a spray volume of 2 to 10
gallons of emulsion per 1000 square feet. If mulch
or debris is present, a higher volume application
rate may be needed to ensure adequate coverage.
Treat the base of the structure to prevent insects
from entering the structure.
Pests Under Slabs: Ants, cockroaches, scorpions
and other nuisance pests inhabiting under paved
areas may be controlled by drilling and injecting
or horizontal rodding and then injecting 1 gallon
of a 0.5% to 1.0% emulsion per 10 square feet or 2
gallons per 10 linear feet.
Pest Control in Crawlspaces: Permethrin SFR
may be applied at a rate of 0.5% in crawlspaces
to control ants, fleas, roaches, scorpions, or
other nuisance insects listed in the table below.

Agricultural Structures
Permethrin SFR can be used for residual pest
control in and on buildings and structures used
for agricultural purposes and their immediate
surroundings. Pests controlled are listed in the
accompanying tables. Permethrin SFR may be
applied as a space spray or directly to walls and
ceilings as a residual surface treatment. When
applied as a fog or fine mist, direct the spray
toward the ceiling and upper corners until the area
is filled with mist. For best results, close doors and
windows before spraying and keep them closed
for 10-15 minutes. Vacate the treated area and
ventilate before reoccupying. Remove animals
from area prior to treatment. Repeat treatment
as necessary.
The use of any residual fly spray should be
supplemented with proper manure management
and general sanitation to reduce or eliminate fly
breeding areas.

Directions for Application
To protect unseasoned lumber and logs from wood
destroying insects, such as Termites, Carpenter
Ants and Beetles (Ambrosia, Powder-post, Old
house borers and others), totally treat wood with
a 0.5% to 1.0% solution of PERMETHRIN SFR.
This solution can be applied by various methods
including spraying, brushing, dipping, and
pressure treatment. Frequent monitoring of dip
and pressure systems are necessary to insure that
the desired level of PERMETHRIN SFR is maintained.
Wood can be handled after treatment when dry.
1.
F or dip treatments, totally submerge
the wood in the solution until thoroughly
wet and then allow to dry in a suitable
location. Agitate dipping solutions to which
PERMETHRIN SFR has been added before
use if left unused for long periods of time.
Periodically clean sediment, debris and other
deposits from the tank.
2. For pressure treatments the wood must
be placed in the treatment chamber, the
PERMETHRIN SFR solution added and the
system pressurized up to 250 psi for up to
one hour depending on the density and
type of wood treated. After the pressure is
released and the system drained, place the
wood in a suitable location for drying.
3. For spray treatments, spray the wood
thoroughly including back and ends.
4. For brush treatments, thoroughly treat all
parts of wood surfaces.

PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
Important
Permethrin SFR is toxic to fish. Exercise care when making applications near ponds, lakes, streams, reservoirs
and other aquatic environments where fish are present.
Permethrin SFR may also be used as a spot application in crawl spaces and indoors to carpeting, wood,
tile, concrete or other structural building materials as a crack and crevice injection, or paint-on treatment.
Consult tables for specific use instructions.
Permethrin SFR can be applied to interior plantscapes, and landscape ornamental gardens including parks,
lawns and grounds.
For advice concerning current control practices with relation to specific local conditions, consult your local
State Cooperative Extension or regulatory agencies.
Permethrin SFR is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation and is to be diluted with water
and applied as an emulsion. When tank mixing as an emulsion with other products, observe all precautions
and limitations on the labels of each product in the mixture.
Permethrin SFR can be tank-mixed with pyrethrin-containing products or Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs). Do not
tank mix with dichlorvos (DDVP) or other fumigant products. Do not tank mix when applied as a soil termiticide.
4
Applications for the Control of Subterranean Termites
Permethrin SFR acts as an insecticidal barrier to control and prevent subterranean termite (Coptotermes,
Heterotermes, Reticulitermes and Zootermopsis) infestations in and around structures. For effective control
the insecticide emulsion must be adequately dispersed in the soil to establish a barrier between the structure
and the termites in the soil. To establish an effective insecticidal barrier with this product the proper control
practices and application techniques should be selected by a trained service technician familiar with current
termite control practices.
When treating adjacent to an existing structure, the applicator must check the area to be treated, and
immediately adjacent areas of the structure, for visible and accessible cracks and holes to prevent any leaks
or significant exposures to persons occupying the structure. People present or residing in the structure during
application must be advised to remove their pets and themselves from the structure if they see any signs of
leakage. After application, the applicator is required to check for leaks. All leaks resulting in the deposition
of termiticide in locations other than those prescribed on this label must be cleaned up prior to leaving the
application site. Do not allow people or pets to contact contaminated areas or to reoccupy contaminated
areas of the structure until the clean up is completed.
When applying Permethrin SFR indoors, procedures should include structural design consideration and
variable post-application effects from heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC).
Outdoor application procedures should include consideration of such variable factors effected by soil type,
soil compaction, grade conditions, utilities and, location and type of domestic water supply.
To prevent contamination of public and private water supplies follow these procedures: Use anti-backflow
equipment or procedures to prevent siphonage of insecticide into water supplies. Do not contaminate wells
or cisterns.
STRUCTURES WITH WELLS/CISTERNS INSIDE FOUNDATIONS
Structures that contain wells or cisterns within the foundation of a structure 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 treated outside/away from the foundation. The treated backfill technique is 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 dilute emulsion 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.
(c) After the treated soil has absorbed the diluted emulsion, replace the soil into the trench.
(2) Treat infested and/or damaged wood in place using an injection technique such as described in the
Control of Wood Infesting Insects section of this label.
5
STRUCTURES WITH ADJACENT WELLS/CISTERNS AND/OR OTHER WATER BODIES
Applicators must inspect all structures with nearby water sources such as wells, cisterns, surface ponds,
streams, and other bodies of water and evaluate, at a minimum, the treatment instructions listed below
prior to making an application.
(1) 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 feet of grade.
(2) Prior to treatment applicators are advised to take precautions to limit the risk of applying the
termiticide into subsurface drains that could empty into any bodies of water. These precautions
include evaluating whether application of the termiticide to the top of the footer may result in
contamination of the subsurface drain. Factors such as depth to the drain system and soil type and
degree of compaction should be taken into account in determining the depth of treatment.
(3) When appropriate (i.e., on the water side of the structure), the treated backfill technique (described
above) can also be used to minimize offsite movement of termiticide.
Application Rate: Use a 0.5% emulsion for subterranean termites. For other pests on the label use specific
listed rates.
The dilute pesticide emulsion must be adequately dispensed in the soil to establish a barrier between the wood
and the termites in the soil. As a good practice: 1) all non-essential wood and cellulose-containing materials
should be removed from around foundation walls, crawl spaces and porches; 2) eliminate termite access to
moisture by repairing faulty plumbing and/or construction grade. Soil around untreated structural wood in
contact with soil should be treated as described below.
To establish an effective insecticidal barrier with this product, the service technician must be familiar with
current termite control practices such as: trenching, rodding, sub-slab injection, coarse fan spraying of soil
surfaces, crack and crevice (void) injection, excavated soil treatment, and brush or spray applications to
infested or susceptible wood. These techniques must be correctly employed to prevent or control infestations
to subterranean termites such as Coptotermes, Heterotermes, Reticulitermes, and Zootermopsis. The biology
and behavior of the species involved should be considered by the service technician in determining which
control practices to use to eliminate or prevent termite infestation.
Important:
Contamination of public and private water supplies must be avoided by following these procedures: Use
anti-backflow equipment or procedures to prevent siphonage of insecticide into water supplies. Do not
contaminate cisterns or wells.
Do not treat soil that is water saturated or frozen or in any conditions where runoff or movement from the
treatment area (site) is likely to occur.
Do not treat while precipitation is occurring.
Do not apply to drainage systems such as sumps, french drains, leach beds or other effluent discharge
systems.
Follow all State and Local specifications for recommended treatment distances of wells and aquatic habitat.
All holes in commonly occupied areas into which material has been applied must be plugged. Plugs must be
of a non-cellulose material or covered by an impervious, non-cellulose material.
Note: Crawlspaces are considered inside of structure.
Critical Areas: Critical areas include areas where the foundation is penetrated by utility services, cracks
and expansion joints, bath traps and areas where cement constructions have been poured adjacent to the
foundation such as stairs, patios, and slab additions.

* See Application Volume Considerations section for Pre- & Post-Construction Applications below.
Common Units of Measure:
1 pint = 16 fluid ounces (oz.)
1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 128 oz.
Mix the termiticide use dilution in the following manner:
1. Fill tank 1/4 to 1/3 full.
2. Start pump to begin bypass agitation and place end of treating tool in tank to allow circulation through
hose.
3. Add appropriate amount of Permethrin SFR. (See Rate/Volume Conversion Chart)
4. Add remaining amount of water.
5. Let pump run and allow recirculation through the hose for 2 to 3 minutes.
Application Volume: To provide maximum control and protection against termite infestation apply the
specified volume of the finished water emulsion and active ingredient as set forth in the directions for
use section of this label. If soil will not accept the labeled application volume, the volume may be reduced
provided there is a corresponding increase in concentration so that the amount of active ingredient applied
to the soil remains the same.
NOTE: Large reductions of application volume reduce the ability to obtain a continuous barrier. Variance is
allowed when volume and concentration are consistent with label directed rates and a continuous barrier
can still be achieved.
Pre- and Post-Construction Applications
Application Volume Considerations: Adjustments to application volumes are often needed to ensure
thorough and complete coverage in different soil types while keeping the application rate as close as possible
to the specified labeled use rate. Certain types of soils, such as clay, require lower volumes of water due to
their low permeability characteristics. In such cases reduced volumes of emulsion can be used while still
delivering the necessary concentration of termiticide to the soil (see Rate/Volume Conversion Chart above).
Application Volume Adjustments: Where necessary to reduce the application volume for pre- and post-
construction treatments, the volume of a 1.0% emulsion may be reduced by 1/2 the labeled volume or a 2.0%
emulsion may be applied at 1/4 the labeled volume (see Volume Adjustments for Horizontal and Vertical
Applications). 7
Pre-Construction Treatment
Do not apply this product as a pre-construction treatment in the state of Florida.
Permethrin SFR may be applied as a vertical and/or horizontal insecticidal barrier to control or prevent
infestation of subterranean termites using a 0.5% emulsion.
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 the responsible person to notify construction workers and other individuals to leave the area to be
treated during application and until the termiticide is absorbed into the soil.
DO NOT APPLY AT A LOWER DOSAGE AND/OR CONCENTRATION THAN SPECIFIED ON THIS LABEL FOR
APPLICATIONS PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE FINISHED GRADE.
The treatment site must be covered prior to a rain event in order to prevent runoff of the pesticide into non-
target areas.
The applicator must either cover the soil him/herself or provide written notification of the above requirement
to the contractor on site and to the person commissioning the application (if different from the contractor).
If notice is provided to the contractor or the person commissioning the application, then they 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 soil is covered with a waterproof covering (such as polyethylene sheeting), and 2) the
treated soil is covered if precipitation is predicted to occur before the concrete 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 of aquatic habitats (such as, but
not limited to, lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams; marshes or ponds; estuaries; and commercial
fish farm ponds).
Do not make on-grade applications when sustained wind speeds are above 10 mph (at application site) at
nozzle end height.
When treating foundations deeper than 4 feet, apply the termiticide as the backfill is being replaced, or if the
construction contractor fails to notify the applicator to permit this, treat the foundation to a minimum depth
of 4 feet after the backfill has been installed. The applicator must trench and rod into the trench or trench
along the foundation walls and around pillars and other foundation elements, at the rate prescribed from
grade to a minimum depth of 4 feet. When the top of the footing is exposed, the applicator must treat the
soil 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.
Horizontal Barrier: Pre-construction horizontal termiticide barrier applications are most commonly made to
soil that will be covered (i.e., concrete slabs and footings, porches, stairs and crawl spaces). Using a coarse
spray nozzle at low pressure (less than 50 psi) apply 1 gallon of a 0.5% emulsion per 10 square feet. If fill
consists of gravel or other coarse material use a rate of 1.5 gallons of a 0.5% emulsion per 10 square feet (see
Volume Adjustment Chart below). If more than 24 hours is expected between the time of application and
pouring of the concrete, it is recommended that the site be covered with a water proof barrier (polyethylene).
Vertical Barrier: Vertical barriers must be established in areas such as around the base of foundations,
plumbing, utility entrances, backfilled soil against foundation walls, and other critical areas.
For a 0.5% rate, apply 4 gallons of dilution per 10 linear feet per foot of depth or 6.4 fluid ounces of Permethrin
SFR per 10 linear feet of depth from grade to top of footing in sufficient water (no less than 2 gallons or more
than 8 gallons) to ensure complete coverage.
1. When trenching and rodding into the trench or trenching, it is important that emulsion reaches the
top of the footing. Rod holes must be spaced so as to achieve a continuous insecticidal barrier, but in
no case more than 12 inches apart.
8
2. Care should be taken to avoid soil wash-out around footing.
3. Trenches need not be wider than 6 inches. Emulsion should be mixed with the soil as it is being replaced
in the trench.
4. For a monolithic slab, an inside vertical barrier may not be required.
Hollow block voids may be treated at a rate of 2 gallons of emulsion per 10 linear feet so that the emulsion
will reach the top of the footing.

Post-Construction Treatment
Apply Permethrin SFR by injection, rodding and/or trenching as a 0.5% emulsion for post-construction treatment.
Do not use excessive pressure (above 25 psi) when injecting to avoid soil wash-out around the foundation.
Do not apply emulsion until location of wells, radiant heat pipes, water and sewer lines, and electrical
conduits are known and identified. Care must be taken to avoid puncturing and injection into these elements.
Foundations: For applications made after the final grade is installed, the applicator must trench and rod
into the trench or trench along the foundation walls and around pillars and other foundation elements, at
the rate prescribed from 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 trench along the foundation walls at the rate
prescribed to a minimum depth of four feet. The actual depth of treatment will vary depending on soil type,
degree of compaction, and location of termite activity. When the top of the footing is exposed, the applicator
must treat the soil 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.
Treating Slabs: Vertical barrier applications may be established by sub-slab injection within the structure
and rodding and trenching / or trenching outside using a treatment rate of 4 gallons of emulsion per 10 linear
feet per foot of depth. If necessary, adjust the spacing of the drill holes, or volume required (see Volume
Adjustment Chart above) for adequate dispersal of the emulsion in the slab sub-soil.
Note: Sub-slab volume adjustments greater than 1% are not recommended. Treatment should not extend
below the bottom of the footing. Treat along the outside of the foundation and where necessary beneath the
slab on the inside of the foundation walls. Treatment may also be required beneath the slab along both sides
of interior footing-supported walls, one side of interior partitions and along all cracks and expansion joints.
Horizontal barriers may be established where necessary by long-rodding or by grid pattern injection vertically
through the slab. Plug all holes in the interior structure after injection.
1. Drill holes in the slab and/or foundation to allow for the application of a continuous insecticidal barrier
no more than 12 inches apart.
2. For shallow foundations (1 foot or less) dig a narrow trench approximately 6 inches wide along the
outside of the foundation walls. Do not dig below the bottom of the footing. The emulsion should be
applied to the trench and soil at 4 gallons per 10 linear feet per foot of depth as the soil is replaced in
the trench.
3. For foundations deeper than 1 foot follow the rates for basements.
4. Exposed soil in bath traps may be treated with a 0.5% emulsion.
9
Basements and Crawl Spaces
Basements
Where the footing is greater than 1 foot in depth from grade to the bottom of the foundation, application
must be made by trenching and rodding into this trench, or injecting at the rate of 4 gallons of emulsion
per 10 linear feet per foot of depth. When the footing is more than 4 feet below grade, the applicator may
trench and rod into the trench, or trench along foundation walls at the rate prescribed for 4 feet of depth.
Rod holes must be spaced so as to achieve a continuous termiticide barrier, but in no case more than 12 inches
apart. The actual depth of treatment will vary depending on soil type, degree of compaction, and location of
termite activity. However, in no case should a structure be treated below the footing. Sub-slab injection may
be necessary along the inside of foundation walls, along cracks and partition walls, around pipes, conduits,
piers, and along both sides of interior footing-supported walls.
Accessible Crawl Spaces
For crawl spaces, apply vertical termiticide barriers at the rate of 4 gallons of emulsion per 10 linear feet per
foot of depth from grade to the top of the footing, or if the footing is more than 4 feet below grade, to a
minimum depth of 4 feet. Apply by trenching and rodding into the trench, or trenching. Treat both sides of
foundation and around all piers and pipes. Where physical obstructions, such as concrete walkways adjacent
to foundation elements, prevent trenching, treatment may be made by rodding alone. When soil type and/
or conditions make trenching prohibitive, rodding may be used. When the top of the footing is exposed, the
applicator must treat the soil adjacent to the footing to a depth not to exceed the bottom of the footing.
Read and follow the mixing and use direction section of the label if situations are encountered 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 chemical 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 stepped to
ensure adequate distribution and to prevent termiticide from running off. The emulsion must be mixed
with the soil as it is replaced in the trench.
4) When treating crawl spaces, turn off the air circulation system of the structure until application has
been completed and all termiticide has been absorbed by the soil.
Inaccessible Crawl Spaces
For inaccessible interior areas, such as areas where there is insufficient clearance between floor joists and
ground surfaces to allow operator access, excavate, if possible, and treat 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 emulsion per 10 sq. ft. overall using
a nozzle pressure of less than 25 p.s.i. and a coarse application nozzle (e.g., Delavan Type RD Raindrop,
RD7 or larger, or Spraying Systems Co. 8010LP TeeJet or comparable nozzle). 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 not broadcast or powerspray with higher pressures.
2) To establish a horizontal barrier, drill through the foundation wall or through the floor above and treat
the soil perimeter at a rate of 1 gallon of emulsion per 10 square feet. Drill spacing must be at intervals
not to exceed 16 inches. Many states have smaller intervals so check state regulations which may apply.
When treating crawl spaces, turn off the air circulation system of the structure until application has been
completed and all termiticide has been absorbed by the soil.
It is highly recommended that prior to treatment, inadequately ventilated crawl spaces be brought into
compliance with FHA Minimum Property Standards specifying 1 square foot of ventilator opening per 150
square feet of crawl space area.
10
When treating crawl spaces with plenums, turn off all air circulation systems for the structure until
application has been completed and all termiticide has been absorbed by the soil.
Wear respiratory protection when treating crawl spaces.
Masonry or Hollow Block Voids: Drill and treat voids in multiple masonry elements of the structure extending
from the structure to the soil in order to create a continuous treatment barrier in the area to be treated. Apply
at the rate of 2 gallons of emulsion per 10 linear feet of footing using a nozzle pressure of less than 25 p.s.i.
When using this treatment, access holes must be drilled below the sill plate and should be as close as possible
to the footing as is practical. Care should be exercised not to drill entirely through and into the structure.
Treatment of voids in block or rubble foundation walls must be closely examined. Applicators must inspect
areas of possible runoff as a precaution against application leakage in the treated areas. Some areas may
not be treatable or may require mechanical alteration prior to treatment. All leaks resulting in the deposition
of termiticide in locations other than those prescribed on this label must be cleaned up prior to leaving the
application site. Do not allow people or pets to contact contaminated areas or to reoccupy the contaminated
areas of the structure until the clean up is completed.
In treating voids containing rigid foam insulation, holes must be drilled through the sillplate and through the
foam to the base of the footing before the emulsion is applied.
Use low pressure to ensure penetration of the emulsion into the void area between the base of the foam and
footer. Slowly remove the spray rod as the emulsion is being delivered, avoiding excess buildup in the foam
insulation.
Note: When treating behind veneer, care should be taken not to drill beyond the veneer. If concrete blocks are
behind the veneer, both the blocks and the veneer may be drilled and treated at the same time.
Excavation Technique: If treatment must be made in difficult situations, such as near wells, cisterns,
along fieldstone or rubble walls, along faulty foundation walls, or around pipes and utility lines which lead
downward from the structure to a well or pond, application may be made in the following manner:
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 emulsion per 10 linear feet per foot of depth of the trench. Mix
the emulsion thoroughly into the soil taking care to prevent liquid from running off the liner.
c. After the treated soil has absorbed the liquid emulsion, replace the soil in the trench.
Prior to using this technique near wells or cisterns, consult state, local or federal agencies for information
regarding approved treatment practices in your area.
Foam Applications
Permethrin SFR emulsion may be converted to a foam, and the foam used to control and prevent termite
infestation. When applying the product as either a foam application alone, or in combination with an
emulsion treatment, do not exceed the maximum-labeled application rate. Exercise care and safety around
electrical utilities. Note location of electrical sources prior to foaming voids to avoid possible shock hazard.
Localized Application
Foam may be used to treat voids to control or prevent localized infestations of: termites, ants, bees, wasps
or other arthropods harboring in voids. Application may be made to voids such as: behind veneers, piers
(concrete or wood), chimneys, into rubble and stone foundations, into block voids, structural voids (i.e.,
between stud walls), poles, stumps, and wood in crawlspaces using either the foam alone or in combination
with liquid emulsion.
Note location of electrical sources prior to foaming voids to avoid possible shock hazards.
Application Under Slabs or to Soil in Crawlspaces to Prevent or Control Termites
Application may be made using Permethrin SFR foam alone or in combination with liquid emulsion. The
equivalent of at least 4 gallons (6.4 oz. of Permethrin SFR concentrate) of 0.5% emulsion per 10 linear feet
(vertical barrier), or at least 1 gallon (1.6 oz. of Permethrin SFR concentrate) of 0.5% emulsion per 10 square
feet (horizontal barrier) must be applied either as emulsion, foam, or a combination of both. For a foam
11
only application, apply Permethrin SFR concentrate in sufficient foam concentration and foam volume to
deposit 6.4 oz. of concentrate per 10 linear feet or 1.6 oz. of concentrate per 10 square feet. For example, 1
gallon of 2% emulsion generated as foam to cover 10 linear feet is equal to the application of 4 gallons of
0.5% emulsion per 10 linear feet.
Foam and liquid application must be consistent with volume and active ingredient instructions in order to
ensure proper application has been made. The volume and amount of active ingredient are essential to
an effective treatment. At least 75% of the labeled liquid emulsion volume of product must be applied,
with the remaining percent delivered to appropriate areas using foam application. Refer to label and use
recommendations of the foam manufacturer and the foaming equipment manufacturer.
Foam applications are generally a good supplement to liquid treatments in difficult areas, but may be used
alone in difficult spots.
Sand Barrier Installation and Treatment
Termites can build mud tubes over treated surfaces as long as they have access to untreated soil and do not
have to move Permethrin SFR-treated soil. Fill in cracks and spaces with builder’s or play box sand and treat
the sand with Permethrin SFR. The sand should be treated as soil following the termiticide rates listed on the
Permethrin SFR label.
Retreatment Intervals
Retreatment for subterranean termites can only be performed if there is clear evidence of reinfestation or
disruption of the barrier due to construction, excavation, or landscaping and/or evidence of the breakdown
of the termiticide barrier in the soil. These vulnerable or reinfested areas may be retreated in accordance with
application techniques described in this product’s labeling. The timing and type of these retreatments will
vary, depending on factors such as termite pressure, soil types, soil conditions and other factors which may
reduce the effectiveness of the barrier.
Annual retreatment of the structure is prohibited unless there is clear evidence that reinfestation or barrier
disruption hasoccurred.
Pest Control Specialty Applications
Permethrin SFR has demonstrated excellent plant safety; however, not all cultivars have been tested. Before
treating large numbers of plants of a particular cultivar, treat a few plants and observe prior to full scale
application.
Use the higher rates for heavy pest infestations. Use sufficient volume to cover plant surface. Higher volumes
should be used if arid or drought conditions exist. Repeat applications as necessary to maintain control.
Do not apply more than 2.0 lb. a.i./Acre/Year for lawn and ornamental use.
Spray Drift Precautions:
Permethrin SFR may be applied by most conventional ground application sprayers. Exercise care not to apply
when wind velocity favors non-target movement or temperature inversions.
Do not apply by air.
Do not apply within 25 feet of lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds,
estuaries, and commercial fish ponds.
Underground Structures and Services
Posts, Poles, and Other Constructions: Previously installed poles and posts may be treated by sub-surface
injection. Treat on all sides to create a continuous insecticidal barrier around the pole. Use 1 gallon of a 0.5%
emulsion per foot of depth for poles and posts less than six inches in diameter. For larger poles, use 1.5 gallons
of emulsion per foot of depth. Apply to a depth of 6 inches below the bottom of the wood. For larger diameter
constructions, use 4 gallons of emulsion per 10 linear feet per foot of depth.
12
To control wood infesting insects, such as, termites, ants, carpenter ants, wood infesting beetles (Old House
Borer, Powder Post), bees, wasps, hornets and yellow-jackets in posts, poles and other wood constructions in
and around structures, paint on, spot spray, or fan spray a 0.5% emulsion to voids and galleries in damaged
wood and in spaces between wooden members of a structure and between wood and foundation where wood
is vulnerable. Plastic sheeting must be placed immediately below overhead areas that are spot treated except
for soil surfaces in crawlspaces. Application may be made to inaccessible areas by drilling, and then injecting
emulsion with a crack and crevice injector into the damaged wood or void spaces. This type of application is
not intended to be a substitute for soil treatment, mechanical alteration or fumigation to control extensive
infestation of wood-infesting insects.
Control of Bees and Wasps Indoors: To control bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets apply a 0.5%
emulsion. Application should be made in the late evening when insects are at rest. Spray liberally into
hiding and breeding places, especially under attic rafters, contacting as many insects as possible. Repeat
as necessary.
Termite carton nests in trees or building voids may be injected with 0.5% to 1.0% emulsion. Multiple injection
points to varying depths may be necessary. It is desirable to physically remove carton nest material from
building voids when such nests are found.
Important: Do not apply emulsion until location of heat pipes, ducts, water and sewer lines and electrical
conduits are known and identified. Care must be taken to avoid puncturing and injection into these structural
elements. Do not apply into electrical fixtures, switches, or sockets.
Services: Permethrin SFR may be applied as a soil treatment to control termites and ants from attacking
underground services, such as, utility lines, pipes, cables, conduits and wires.
Apply 2 to 4 gallons of a 0.5% emulsion per 10 linear feet to the bottom of the trench and allow to soak into
the soil. Lay services on the treated soil and cover with approximately 2 inches of fill soil. Apply another 2 to
4 gallons per 10 linear feet over the soil surface to complete the treatment barrier. Volume adjustments for
non-porous soils can be made by using 1 to 2 gallons of a 1.0% emulsion per 10 linear feet of trench.
Do not treat electrically active underground services.
Pest Control on Outside Surfaces and Around Buildings
All outdoor applications must be limited to spot or crack-and-crevice treatments only, except for the
(1) Treatment to soil or vegetation around structures;
(2) Applications to lawns, turf, and other vegetation;
(3) Applications to building foundations, up to a maximum height of 3 feet.
Other than applications to building foundations, all outdoor applications to impervious surfaces such as
sidewalks, driveways, patios, porches and structural surfaces (such as windows, doors, and eaves) are limited
to spot and crack-and-crevice applications only.
Not for use in outdoor residential misting systems.
Broadcast Treatment for Control of Nuisance Pests: Apply using a 0.5% emulsion as a residual spray to
outside surfaces of buildings including, but not limited to, exterior siding, foundations, porches, window
frames, eaves, patios, garages, and refuse dumps.
Lawns: Permethrin SFR can be applied to lawns adjacent to or around private homes, duplexes, townhouses,
condominiums, house trailers, apartment complexes, carports, garages, fence lines, storage sheds, barns,
residential structures, commercial and institutional buildings, and other areas where pests congregate or
have been seen. Repeat treatment as necessary to maintain effectiveness.
Perimeter Treatment: Apply a band application 6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the structure. Also,
treat the base of the structure to a height of 2 to 3 feet. Use a spray volume of 2 to 10 gallons of emulsion
per 1000 square feet. If mulch or debris is present, a higher volume application rate may be needed to ensure
adequate coverage. Treat the base of the structure to prevent insects from entering the structure.
13
Pests Under Slabs: Ants, cockroaches, scorpions and other nuisance pests inhabiting under paved areas may
be controlled by drilling and injecting or horizontal rodding and then injecting 1 gallon of a 0.5% to 1.0%
emulsion per 10 square feet or 2 gallons per 10 linear feet.
Pest Control in Crawlspaces: Permethrin SFR may be applied at a rate of 0.5% in crawlspaces to control ants,
fleas, roaches, scorpions, or other nuisance insects listed in the table below. For proper termite directions
see section on Applications for the Control of Subterranean Termites. Treat surfaces until wet. Keep children
and pets off surface until dry.

thoroughly and vacuum cleaner bag discarded in an outdoor trash
container. Evenly apply a direct spray as a spot treatment to infested
areas such as crawlspaces, rugs, carpets, pet beds and other pet
resting areas.
Do not wet or soak. For crawlspace applications, the applicator must
wear a respirator recommended by NIOSH for filtering spray mists
and organic vapors. When treating upholstered furniture take care to
treat between and under cushions. Pay particular attention to areas
which are frequented by pets. Old pet bedding should be replaced
with clean, fresh bedding after treatment. To control the source of
flea infestations, pets inhabiting the treated premises should be
treated with a flea-control product registered for application to
animals.

Agricultural Structures
Permethrin SFR can be used for residual pest control in and on buildings and structures used for agricultural
purposes and their immediate surroundings. Pests controlled are listed in the accompanying tables.
Permethrin SFR may be applied as a space spray or directly to walls and ceilings as a residual surface
treatment. When applied as a fog or fine mist, direct the spray toward the ceiling and upper corners until the
area is filled with mist. For best results, close doors and windows before spraying and keep them closed for
10-15 minutes. Vacate the treated area and ventilate before reoccupying. Remove animals from area prior to
treatment. Repeat treatment as necessary.
The use of any residual fly spray should be supplemented with proper manure management and general
sanitation to reduce or eliminate fly breeding areas.

Directions for Application
To protect unseasoned lumber and logs from wood destroying insects, such as Termites, Carpenter Ants
and Beetles (Ambrosia, Powder-post, Old house borers and others), totally treat wood with a 0.5% to 1.0%
solution of PERMETHRIN SFR. This solution can be applied by various methods including spraying, brushing,
dipping, and pressure treatment. Frequent monitoring of dip and pressure systems are necessary to insure
that the desired level of PERMETHRIN SFR is maintained. Wood can be handled after treatment when dry.
1. For dip treatments, totally submerge the wood in the solution until thoroughly wet and then allow to dry
in a suitable location. Agitate dipping solutions to which PERMETHRIN SFR has been added before use if
left unused for long periods of time. Periodically clean sediment, debris and other deposits from the tank.
2. For pressure treatments the wood must be placed in the treatment chamber, the PERMETHRIN SFR
solution added and the system pressurized up to 250 psi for up to one hour depending on the density
and type of wood treated. After the pressure is released and the system drained, place the wood in a
suitable location for drying.
3. For spray treatments, spray the wood thoroughly including back and ends.
4. For brush treatments, thoroughly treat all parts of wood surfaces.

Do not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.
Pesticide Storage
Store at temperatures above 40°F (5°C).
Shake container well before using. If crystals form, warm to room temperature by placing container in a
room at ambient temperature 70°F (21°C) until crystals dissolve.
Do not use or store near heat, open flame or hot surfaces.
Store in a dry place and avoid excess heat in storage. Store in original containers only.
Carefully open containers. After partial use, replace lids and close tightly. Do not put concentrate or dilute
material into food or drink containers.
In case of spill, avoid contact, isolate area and keep out animals and unprotected persons. To confine spill,
dike surrounding area or absorb with sand, cat litter, commercial clay or gel absorbents. If dry material,
cover to prevent dispersal. Place damaged package in a holding container. Identify contents.
Pesticide Disposal
Pesticide wastes are toxic. Wastes resulting from the use of this product must be disposed of on site or
at an approved waste disposal facility. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is
a violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions,
contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at
the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.
Container Handling
Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Clean container promptly after emptying.
Once cleaned, some agricultural plastic pesticide containers can be taken to a container collection site or
picked up for recycling. To find the nearest site, contact your chemical dealer or manufacturer, or contact
the Ag Container Recycling Council at www.acrecycle.org.
Triple rinse container promptly after emptying. If recycling is not available puncture and dispose of in a sanitary
landfill or incineration or if allowed by state and local authorities by burning. If burned stay out of smoke.
For containers smaller than or equal to 5 gallons, triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents
into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the
container ¼ full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a
mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat
this procedure two more times.
