Revenge Pt Termite Carpenter Ant Control

Revenge PT is a liquid concentrate that mixes with water and applies directly to soil, foundations, and plant leaves. It is formulated to kill termites and other pests such as carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and roof-loving ants on contact.

How It Works

Revenge PT kills insects in two primary methods:

1. Immediate Knockdown: Paralyzed and killed within hours after touching treated insects.
2. Residual Barrier: The insecticide remains effective for months and sometimes years after the initial application, preventing new insects from returning.

Main Benefits

There are benefits to homeowners and the professionals:

• Broad-Spectrum Protection: Destroys wood destroying insects, including subterranean termites, carpenter bees, and ants. It also kills fleas, mosquitoes, ticks, and other surface insects.
• Long-Lasting Results: When the soil around a structure is not disturbed, the effects of a perimeter treatment can last 5 years, preventing termites from entering a structure.
• Cost-Effective: Since it's a concentrate, one bottle can cover a lot of ground . It’s less expensive than purchasing a bunch of pre-made sprays.

Mixing and Preparation

Before treatment, the concentrate needs to be diluted with water to the proper proportion:

• Mix 2 ⅔ fluid ounces of concentrate per gallon of water. This makes a 0.25% spray.
• For spot treatments in areas of intense ant or beetle infestation, dilute 1 1⁄3 fluid ounces of concentrate with one quart of water (0.50% spray).
• Mix 2 tablespoons of concentrate with 1 gallon of water. Pour directly on each mound until saturated.

Carefully measure each time, use protective gloves and stir the mix well before using.

Application Methods

Revenge PT can be used with all standard spray equipment:

• Garden Sprayer or Hand Pump: Apply to lawns, around shrubs or near tree trunks. Apply as a 6-inch band around the base of plants or to establish a barrier of protection directly to the structure or tree and shrub.
• Low-Pressure Sprayer: This is best for large yards and building perimeters. Sprinkle the soil over the surface in a thin (1 inch) layer.
• Trench Treatment for Termites
1. Excavate a 6-inch-deep, wide trench around the foundation footings (but deeper for some block foundations).
2. Dilute 5 fl oz of concentrate per gallon of water.
3. Spray the mixture into the trench at a rate of four gallons per ten linear feet per foot of depth.
4. Fill the trench with the native soil.

Safety and Precautions

Permethrin can be hazardous to people, pets, and wildlife if it’s misused, so make sure to:

• Wear gloves, long sleeves, eye protection and a mask when mixing and spraying.
• Do not apply near ponds, streams, or other water spaces. It is highly toxic to fish and other aquatic invertebrates.
• Use only when the wind is still and heavy rain has not been forecast for at least 24 hours.
• Keep people and pets off treated surfaces until they are dry.

Maintenance and Inspection

Although termite management can protect for up to 5 years, it is recommended that the user:

• Check foundation walls for new insect holes, wood dust or mud tubes.
• If there is more pest activity, add it back to small problematic areas every 3-6 months.
• Don’t dig or landscape around treated areas, as the user might disrupt the barrier that keeps termites out.

For effective long term control, Revenge PT Termite & Carpenter Ant Control is the answer. As it’s strong, easy to mix and can be used in different application methods, it suits not only lawn care enthusiasts, but also professional pest control people.
