Orthene PCO Pellets at 1.0% as a spot application to pantry and cupboard shelves where food containers
suspected of being infested are stored. Prior to spraying, remove all foodstuffs, shelving paper and utensils.
Do not replace the food packages until the surface has dried. Replace shelving paper. Infested food
packages should be destroyed.

Wasps (Outdoor): Apply Orthene PCO Pellets as a spot application at 0.5% to 1.0% to the nest, nest
entrance and surrounding areas where the wasps alight. Wasps are generally less active early and late in the
day, so it is advisable that nests should be treated during these times. Do not apply with low pressure handwand equipment.

Perimeter Treatment: To control Ants (excluding carpenter, fire, harvester and pharaoh ants),
Cockroaches, Pillbugs and Earwigs, apply Orthene PCO Pellets at 0.5% to 1.0% to a band of soil 6 to 10 ft.
adjacent to the structure, also to a height of 2 to 3 ft. on the foundation where pests may be active or may
find entrance. Also, apply as a residual spray or with a paint brush to surfaces of buildings, window frames,
shutters, entry ways, screens, eaves, patios, garages, carports, around garbage areas and other areas where
these pests congregate. Do not apply with low pressure hand-wand equipment. NOTE: When making
perimeter treatments, only foraging ants will be controlled. Not for use on residential turf as a perimeter
treatment.

Ants, Fire and Harvester (excluding carpenter and pharaoh ants) in mounds within a treated
perimeter – In order to control a mound or nest, a drench treatment is necessary. For mound drench
treatment, dissolve 1 packet (1.4 oz.) of Orthene PCO Pellets in 9 gals. of water. Apply 1 gal. of mix to
each mound by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat a 4 ft. diameter circle around the mound.
For best results, apply Orthene PCO Pellets in the early morning or late afternoon when ants are most
active. Mound drench applications made under prolonged hot and dry conditions may be ineffective due to
the location of ants deep within the nest.

NOTE: Grass in treated areas may be injured. DO NOT treat a mound more than once per season.

For Application as Spot Treatment in the Listed Structures – Spot treatments may be applied at
moderate pressures (up to 35 psi) using a coarse fan tip. For spot treatments, no individual spot will exceed
2 sq. ft. Mix Orthene PCO Pellets according to dilution chart. Apply as a SPOT TREATMENT using
coarse fan spray to areas inhabited by cockroaches. Treat areas such as baseboards, under and behind
refrigerators, stoves, dishwashing and other equipment, as well as in storage areas, closets, sinks, cabinets,
around windows, doors and water pipes. Spot treatment should also include underside of drawers, shelves
