ANT CONTROL
PEST LOCATION RATE
Carpenter Ants in wood piles and
stored lumber
0.5 – 1.0  oz in one gallon of water
REMARKS
Deliver a coarse drenching spray with a hose-end sprayer or sprinkling can. Do not
use wood for lumber or burn it until one month after treatment. Do not use wood for
structures.
Carpenter Ants in rewood 1.0 . oz in one gallon of water
REMARKS
Apply the dilution to the soil where rewood will be stacked at the rate of one gallon per
8 square feet. DO NOT treat the rewood directly.
PEST CONTROL SPECIALTY APPLICATIONS
Underground Services (including cables, conduits, pipes, utility lines, wires, etc.) which
are found on the outside of structures, in right-of-way areas, or in long range installation
of these services.
Soil treatments to control Ants: Apply using a 0.06 to 0.12% Compare-N-Save Indoor/
Outdoor Insect Concentrate emulsion. Apply 2 gallons of emulsion per 10 linear feet to the
bottom of the trench. Allow emulsion to soak into the soil, lay the services on top of the
treated soil and then ll the trench with soil. To complete the barrier treatment, make another
application of 2 gallons per 10 linear feet over the top of the soil surface. For best control, in
wide trenches, only treat the soil around the services.
For non-porous soils, adjust the volume to 1 gallon of 0.12% Compare-N-Save Indoor/Out
-
door Insect Concentrate per 10 linear feet of trench. Treat both to the bottom of the open
trench and the soil placed over the top of the services.
Treat the soil at the point where the service sticks out of the ground by trenching/rodding. Do
not use more than 1 to 2 gallons of emulsion.
Precautions: Electrically active underground services must not be treated.
Posts, Poles, and Other Constructions
To control insect damage to wooden constructions such as signs, fences and landscape
ornamentations, apply a 0.06% emulsion. Treat on all sides to create an insecticidal barrier
in the soil around the wooden construction.
For poles and posts previously installed, use a sub-surface injection or apply the emulsion
by gravity-ow to the soil around all sides of the pole or post. If poles and posts are less
than a half-foot in diameter, apply 1 gallon of emulsion per foot of depth. If poles are larger
than a half-foot in diameter, apply 1.5 gallons of emulsion per foot of depth. Make sure that
the emulsion reaches a depth of 6 inches below the bottom of the wood. If treatment of
larger constructions is desired, use an application rate of 4 gallons per 10 linear feet per
foot of depth.
Wood-in-Place: This product controls the following insects in infested wood in and around
structures: Ants, Carpenter Ants, wood-infesting beetles (such as Old House Borer and
Powder Post). Apply by painting on, spot spraying or fan spraying 0.06% emulsion of this
product to voids and galleries in damaged wood, and in spaces between wooden members
of a structure, and between wood and foundations where wood is exposed. Place plastic
sheeting immediately below overhead areas that are treated; no sheeting is required when
treating the surface of soils in crawl spaces. Areas that are not easily accessed can be
treated by drilling, and then injecting the emulsion using a crack and crevice injector into the
damaged wood or void spaces. Use this method of application in addition to soil treatment or
other methods to control extensive infestation of wood-infesting insects.
