Mixing Instructions 

Dilute PROFLEX with water for application using hand-held or power-operated application equipment as a coarse spray for crack and crevice or spot and general surface (nonfood/ nonfeed areas only) treatments. Application equipment that delivers low volume treatments, such as the MicroInjector or Actisol applicator, may also be used to make crack and crevice or spot and general surface treatments. Fill applicator tank with the desired volume of water and add PROFLEX. Close and shake before use in order to ensure proper mixing. Shake or re-agitate applicator tank before use if the application is interrupted. Mix only the amount of treatment volume as required. PROFLEX may be applied by using a paintbrush or other porous applicator attached to a handle as a general surface treatment. If the mixture is allowed to sit for more than 2 hours, shake well before application.

Tank Mixing

PROFLEX may be tank mixed with other currently registered pesticides unless expressly prohibited by the product label. A small volume mixing test with the other products is recommended to ensure compatibility. If other chemicals are added to the applicator tank, add PROFLEX last. If mixed with EC formulations, use within 24 hours. Fill tank to the desired volume and continue to agitate while making applications.

Foam Applications 

PROFLEX may be converted to a foam and the foam used to treat structural voids to control or prevent pests including ants, bees, termites (above ground only), wasps, or other listed arthropods harboring in walls, under slabs, or in other void areas.
