Mixing and Using BEE Gone for Carpenter Bee Control

HOME-INVADING PESTS (OUTDOOR USE ONLY)


MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Mix 1.6 fluid oz. (3 1/4 Tablespoons) of BEE Gone Concentrate per 1 gallon of spray solution to make a
0.5% spray emulsion [1 fluid oz. = 2 Tablespoons (T) = 6 teaspoons (tsp)]. Do not use utensils such as
spoons and measuring cups after use with pesticides.


HOW TO APPLY

Spot Treatment

• Apply a 0.5% emulsion as a pin stream low-pressure spray or as a paint-on application with a paintbrush.
• Treat where pests are found or entry points of the structure such as window frames, doorways,
porches, patios, and foundation.
• Spot-treatment may also be made to garages, garbage cans, and garbage areas.
• DO NOT apply indoors (including crawl spaces).
Perimeter Application
• Spray a 6 to 8 foot wide band of soil around the perimeter of the house. Treat the foundation wall to
a height of 2 to 3 feet.
• Use a spray volume of 2 to 10 gallons of 0.5% emulsion per 1000 square feet. If mulch or debris is
present, a higher volume application rate may be needed to ensure adequate coverage.
• Note: residual control will vary depending on exposure of the treated area to weathering conditions
(temperature, sunlight, moisture). Retreat on a monthly schedule while insects are likely to be active.
 

Wood Destroying Pests

• Localized Areas Outdoors: for the control of insects such as termites, bees, carpenter ants and wood
infesting beetles in localized above-ground areas of infested wood around structures, apply a 0.5%
emulsion to voids and galleries in damaged wood and in spaces between wooden members of a structure and between wood and foundations where wood is vulnerable. Apply either as a spray or paint-
on application. For termites, the purpose of application is to destroy workers or winged reproductive
forms, which may be present at the time of treatment. This product is not designed for preventative
use and should only be applied when pests appear. This application is not a substitute for soil or foundation treatment.


• Use a hose-end sprayer or sprinkling can to deliver a coarse drenching spray to treat stored lumber
or wood piles. Firewood is not to be treated. Stored wood can be used for lumber one month after
treatment. Do not apply inside structures.
• Repeat treatment as necessary but not more frequently than once a month. For active termite infestation, consult a professional Pest Control Applicator.
