1. Suggested Tools for Application: BATTLE Spray System, BATTLE Puffer Bottle, Manual Dusters, Professional Electric Dusters, Professional Liquid Spray Systems.
2. Pretreatment of New Construction: (Preventive treatment for cockroaches and dry wood termites) Apply powder to base plates and plumbing voids at the rate of 3 pounds per 1000 square feet. In attics apply powder around perimeter of attics and around vent stacks at the rate of 3 pounds per 1000 square feet.
3. Cracks and Crevices, Wall Voids, Attic Voids: (Roaches, Carpenter Ants, Silverfish, Spiders, and other household pests) Apply a light layer of BATTLE with a bulb duster in those areas where insects might traffic and into hard to reach areas using a power duster or hand-pump. Apply into voids at a rate of 1 pound per 1000 square feet of floor area. For tough infestations, a higher rate of application (up to 3 pounds per 1000 square feet) can be used.
4. Fleas, Lice, Ticks, Mites: Simply dust the carpet, floor, furniture, pet bedding or area where insects have become infested. After treatment, leave BATTLE in place for at least 48 hours. Depending on the amount of dust applied, either vacuum up the dust or leave it down for future control. Also treat cracks and crevices, behind moldings, shelving, baseboards, pipe openings and all other cracks. BATTLE can also be used in outdoor applications under mostly dry conditions. Reapply after rain or excessively humid conditions.
5. Ants: (Fire Ants, Pharaoh and other common household ants) For Fire Ants apply a layer at least 1/2 inch thick around the entrance of the mound. In wet or windy areas, make a 50/50 slurry of BATTLE and water and pump directly into the mound. It will take approximately 2-3 days for the entire ant population to be eliminated. For Pharaoh and other common household ants, you can treat the mound as well as areas where ants are seen trafficking and crack and crevices where they may enter structures. Caution: there is no immediate knockdown with BATTLE. If ants become agitated during application, ants could crawl up pants and shoes. Ant stings can be very painful and cause serious allergic reaction. Consult local physician if necessary.
6. Carpenter Ants, Carpenter Bees, Termites, Wood Destroying Insects: To protect structures, use a power duster to distribute BATTLE through insect entry points in attics and crawl spaces at a rate of 1 pound per 1000 square feet of floor area. Locate source of infestation or areas of suspected activity and inject BATTLE into galleries, tunnels and void areas. Treat points of entry or exits from voids such as around doors, windows and siding.
7. Bed Bugs: Apply a light layer of BATTLE as a perimeter dust at carpet edges and throughout entire carpet. Dust all cracks and crevices and harborage areas such as baseboards, picture frames, bed frames, light switch plates, electrical outlets, drop ceilings and folds and tufts in mattress, box spring and upholstery. Broadcast into wall voids with a power duster. BATTLE has no flash point so you can access wall voids by removing light switch and electrical outlet faceplates. Can be applied into larger cracks using 1” bristle paint brush. Remove all bedding and wash and dry at high temperature. Always treat adjacent rooms or units. BATTLE is Non-Repellent and perfect for bed bug treatments.
8. Flies: Use in barns, stalls, garbage areas, basements and drains where flies congregate. Simply dust a liberal amount of BATTLE in the problem area and reapply after rain, washing or excessively humid conditions.
9. Bees, Wasps, Other Flying Insects: Caution: there is no immediate knockdown with BATTLE. Wear protective gear and clothing and inform others that it will take up to 48 hours for the nest to be free of insects. For best results use only on nests in voids or enclosed spaces and treat heavily at a rate of 3 pounds per 1000 square feet. Dust the nest or structural entrance in the evening when insects have returned to the nest and are less active, using a power duster or bulb duster. For nests in wall voids, drill a hole in the area of the nest, treat and reseal. For best results, check nests carefully one to two days after treatment to ensure complete control. Repeat if necessary. If possible, remove and destroy nests to prevent emergence of newly hatched insects. Insects stings are painful and can cause severe allergic reactions. Consult a local physician if necessary.
10. Application Instructions for BATTLE Puffer Bottle and Spray System: Puffer Bottle/Refill Applicator Tip BATTLE is designed to be applied as a powder to the areas listed on the front. Apply the lightest layer possible of BATTLE to areas where insects traffic and live and in closed areas. Avoid applying heavily or insects may avoid contact. Do not apply in windy conditions. Use appropriate dust mask if powder becomes suspended in room or work area. Reapply in areas where frequent water/rain occurs.
