EPA Registration: 8033-109-279

Active Ingredient: Bifenthrin – 6%, Acetamiprid – 5%

Mixing Instructions For Household Pest Control:

When using spray rigs, fill tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with water. Start pump to begin by-pass agitation and place end of treating tool in tank to allow circulation through hose. Add Transport Mikron Insecticide. Add remaining amount of water. Let pump run and allow recirculation through the hose for 2 to 3 minutes. For backpacks and handheld sprayers, fill the tank ¼ full with water. Add Transport Mikron Insecticide. Agitate tank gently before adding remaining water. Close application equipment. For other types of sprayers, Transport Mikron Insecticide may be mixed into full tanks of water. Fill tank with the desired volume of water and add Transport Mikron Insecticide. Close and gently shake before use to ensure proper mixing. Mix only the amount of dilution needed for application.

Where To Apply:

Apply as a pinstream, spot, crack and crevice, or perimeter spray on and around outside surfaces of residential and non-residential buildings and structures including, exterior siding, foundations, porches, window frames, eaves, patios, garages, areas adjacent or around private homes, duplexes, townhouses, condominiums, schools, noncommercial barns (i.e., non-commercial barns are storage structures not intended for housing livestock other than pets), house trailers, apartment complexes, carports, garages, storage sheds, and other structures, and other areas where pests congregate or have been seen. While this product is not for use on turf or lawns, adjacent (i.e., perimeter) treatment is permitted as directed by the Perimeter Treatment Application Rate. Follow Additional Application Restrictions for Residential Outdoor Surface and Space Sprays.

Use Rate:

Perimeter Treatments:

As a perimeter treatment, apply as a continual band up to 10 foot wide around the structure and upwards along the foundation to a height of up to 3 feet and around windows, doors, other penetrations and roof eves, soffits and overhangs. Spot treatments may be applied beyond the 10 ft-wide band around structures in areas where pests congregate or have been seen. Apply Transport Mikron Insecticide in sufficient amount of water (see Dilution Chart) to adequately cover 1,000 square feet. Dilutions may be applied at either high or low volumes. Do not apply more than 1.25 fluid ounces per 1,000 square feet.

See Label for Complete Instructions and for Termite Treatments.

Use Restrictions:

Do not water the treated area to the point of run-off. Do not make applications during rain. All outdoor applications, if permitted elsewhere on this label, must be limited to spot or crack-and-crevice treatments only, except for the following permitted uses, if allowed elsewhere on this label:

1) Applications to soil or vegetation, as listed on this label, around structures

2) Applications to the side of a building, up to a maximum height of 3 feet above grade

3) Applications to underside of eaves, soffits, doors, or windows permanently protected from rainfall by a covering, overhang, awning, or other structure

4) Applications around potential pest entry points into buildings, when limited to a surface band not to exceed one inch in width

5) Applications made through the use of a coarse, low-pressure spray to only those portions of surfaces that are directly above bare soil, lawn, turf, mulch or other vegetation, as listed on this label, and not over an impervious surface, drainage or other condition that could result in runoff into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters, or surface waters, in order to control occasional invaders or aggregating pests.

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. Applications to vertical exterior surfaces (e.g., foundations) are permitted to a maximum height of 3 feet from ground level. Sections of vertical exterior surfaces that abut non-porous horizontal surfaces can only be treated if either 1) these sections are protected from rainfall and spray from sprinklers or 2) they do not drain into a sewer, storm drain, or curbside gutter (e.g., not to sections that abut driveways or sidewalks that drain into streets). For sections of foundation that abut non-porous horizontal surfaces, the treated areas must be protected from rainfall and spray from sprinklers or they do not drain into a sewer, storm drain, or
curbside gutter (e.g. not to sections that abut driveways or sidewalks that drain into streets). Application is prohibited directly into sewers or drains, or to any area like a gutter where drainage to sewers, storm drains, water bodies, or aquatic habitat can occur. Do not allow the product to enter any drain during or after application.

Let surfaces dry before allowing people and pets to contact surfaces. It is recommended that a small surface compatibility test be performed before applying. Treat a small area and evaluate 30 minutes later to determine whether any change to the surface has occurred. Application equipment that delivers low volume treatments, such as the Micro-Injector® or Actisol® applicators, may also be used to make crack and crevice, deep harborage, spot and general surface treatments of Transport Mikron Insecticide. Wear protective clothing; unvented goggles, gloves and a respirator approved by NIOSH, when applying to overhead areas or in poorly ventilated or confined areas. Application is prohibited directly into sewers or drains, or to any area like a gutter where drainage to sewers, storm drains, water bodies, or aquatic habitat can occur. Do not allow the product to enter any drain during or after application.
