Apply two tablespoons over each 8" to 10" diameter mound and up to 2 ft around to prevent the escape of the queen. Immediately after application, water the granules into the soil gently with a light sprinkling can to avoid disturbing the colony. Use at least one gallon of water per mound. Apply in cool weather during the spring and fall or in early or late evening for best results. Active Ingredient: 0.1% Deltamethrin.
