Care should be taken to avoid depositing the product onto exposed surfaces or introducing the material into the air. Avoid contamination of food or food processing surfaces.

Applications Of This Product In The Food Areas Of Food Handling Establishments Other Than As A Crack And Crevice Treatment Are Not Permitted. Non-food Areas:
For use in and around homes, institutions, hospitals, office buildings, hotels, motels, theaters, schools, warehouses, truck trailers and railroad cars: to control crawling insects such as: Ants, Cockroaches, Silverfish, Firebrats, Spiders, Boxelder Bugs, Ticks, Lice and Fleas in animal quarters, distribute Drione at the rate of 2 ounces per 100 square feet of surface area. Apply a continuous visible film underneath and behind stairs, refrigerators and appliances. Treat on, around and behind moldings, shelving, baseboards, pipe openings, cracks, crevices, and other areaswhere insects hide. For severe infestations, apply Drione behind cabinets and walls, in crawl spaces and attics at the rate of I6 ounces per 1000 square feet of surface area. Repeat treatment as necessary.

Bed Bugs:
Take bed apart. Dust into joints and channels. If hollow, such as square or round tubing, see that the interior of framework is well dusted. Mattresses should be dusted, especially tufts, folds, and edges. Picture frame moldings and all cracks and crevices in the room should be treated.

Bees And Wasps:
It is generally advisable to treat Wasp and Bee nests in the evening when insects are less active and have returned to the nest. Using hand or power duster or other suitable means, with extension tubes if necessary, thoroughly dust nest and entrance and surrounding areas where insectsalight. Nests in wall voids can be located by listening with your ear against the wall. Drill a hole in the area, blow dust in, and reseal. For best results check nests carefully one or two days after treatment to ensure complete kill, then remove and destroy nest to prevent emergence of newly-hatched insects. If removal is not feasible, retreat the nest if necessary. Care should be taken when treating overhead nests so that neither the product northe nest falls on people standing below.

Carpenter Bees:
Fill the duster 2/3 full with Drione Dust. Hold the duster upside down. (This keeps the dust from clogging the nozzle) Put liberal amounts of dust in each Carpenter Bee hole. This will be about three squeezes of the duster. The plastic extension can be used for hard to reach spots. Each pound of Drione Dust should treat about 150-200 holes. The duster is also equipped with a clean-out rod.

Plug the holes with corks approximately 2-3 days after dusting. This will allow the female Carpenter Bee plenty of time to distribute the Drione Dust throughout the nest.

Spray the surface of the other areas with a good solution of cypermethrin to stop the bees from making new holes. You will need a good pump-up type sprayer. Mix the cypermethrin 1 oz. to 1 gallon of water. Spray twice during the spring about three weeks apart or when Carpenter Bees become active in your part of the United States. Each gallon should cover about 500 square feet of surface. The cypermethrin solution will act as a repellent killer for future Carpenter Bee activity. You can spray anytime AFTER plugging the holes.

Drywood Termites:
To protect against entrance, using an electric or hand operated rotary duster, distribute Drione through an entry, e.g. crawl hole into attic and crawl space of building, at a rate of 1 pound per 1000 square feet of floor area. All vents and blowers on the windward side should be closed. All wood surfaces should be covered. In case of localized infestations, probe to locate galleries and drill holes to inject Drione into the galleries. If reasonably heavy infestation has already developed, fumigation should be employed.

Fleas:
Surfaces of kennels should be dusted at the rate of one ounce per 50 square feet. Heavily infested lawns, basements, and crawl spaces should be dusted at the rate of 16 ounces per 1000 square feet. Repeat as necessary.

Sewer Treatments:
American and Oriental Cockroach infestations in sanitary sewers may be treated with approximately 6 ounces of Drione per manhole. When treating sewers, one manhole per 200 feet of line should be treated. Treatments are made by removing the manhole cover and replacing with a disc of plywood bored to receive the usual flexible hose from portable or truck mounted ventilating equipment. 6 ounces of Drione is introduced into the ventilating air to be dispersed quickly and thoroughly through the system.
