Tengard SFR One

Tengard SFR One's active ingredient has the ability to kill over 75 different types of pest. The permethrin in Tengard SFR One has a long lasting and increases effective. Tengard SFR One can be used indoors and outdoors, when used outdoors it dispersed in the soil and establish a barrier between the structure and the termites in the soil. Tengard SFR One is a pesticide that kill pest but also as a prevention.

Description:

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:

1. Trench and remove soil to be treated onto heavy plastic sheeting or similar material or into a wheelbarrow.
2. 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.
3. After the treated soil has absorbed the diluted emulsion, replace the soil into the trench.

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 recommendations 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 off-site 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.

Mix the termiticide use dilution in the following manner:

1. Fill tank 1/4 to 1/3 full.
2. Start pump to begin by-pass agitation and place end of treating tool in tank to allow circulation through hose.
3. Add appropriate amount of Tengard 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.
