General Information on the use of this product: Dragnet FT EC Insecticide is a pyrethroid
insecticide (permethrin) that offers a high level of activity against a broad spectrum of insect
pests. The pests controlled are listed in the accompanying sections. Dragnet FT EC Insecticide is
to be used for residual pest control indoors (A) in food areas during close-down periods, non
food areas and outdoors (B & C) on buildings and structures and their immediate surroundings.
The use of this product also prevents and controls Termite infestation (D) in and around
structures and construction, (E) in residential areas on ornamentals, fruit trees and vegetables and
(F) in farm buildings.
Dragnet FT EC Insecticide contains permethrin, which is a synthetic pyrethroid. Permethrin has
low mammalian toxicity and rapid knockdown of insects. Although the synthetic process has
increased the stability of permethrin giving it residual properties, it is still degraded by the
ultraviolet rays of the sun. This results in a relatively short residual life in the presence of sunlight;
however, when protected from the sun, permethrin (Dragnet FT EC Insecticide) will provide
residual activity.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Shake Well Before Using
Mixing Instructions:
1. To prepare the emulsion, dilute Dragnet FT EC Insecticide with water only.
2. To make small volumes of a 0.5% emulsion, mix 50 mL of Dragnet FT EC Insecticide in 4
litres of water or 100 mL to achieve a 1.0% concentration.
3. To make larger volumes of a 0.5% emulsion, mix 12.5 litres of Dragnet FT EC Insecticide
with 1000 litres of water or 25 litres to achieve a 1.0% concentration.
DO NOT TANK MIX THIS PRODUCT WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCT.
A.
Pest Control Indoors
Food Handling Establishments: Places other than private residences in which food is held,
processed, prepared or served.
Non-Food Areas: Includes garbage rooms, lavatories, floor drains (to sewers), entries and
vestibules, offices, locker rooms, machine rooms, garages, mop closets, and storage (after
canning or bottling). All areas where insects hide or through which insects may enter should be
treated.
Food Areas: Food areas include areas of receiving, storage, packaging (canning, bottling,
wrapping, boxing), preparing, edible waste storage, enclosed processing systems (mills, dairies,
edible oils, syrups) and serving areas.
Application is limited to close-down periods only and during these periods to spot or crack and
crevice treatments only. Remove or cover all food, preparation and serving areas, packaging
materials and utensils before application. In warehouses, stores, storage areas and on aircrafts,
Page 6
ships, trains and trucks, do not spray food or food packages. Do not treat bins, bulk cargo areas
or other places which may be contacted directly by food or feed.
Prepare a spray solution as described under Mixing Instructions and apply in small amounts
directly into cracks and crevices using equipment capable of delivering a pin stream of
insecticide. Treat between different elements of construction such as, between equipment and
floors, openings leading to voids and hollow spaces in walls, equipment legs and bases where
pests hide.
Make application using low pressure so as to avoid possible atomization or splashing of the
spray. After spraying, wash all surfaces that may contact food and rinse thoroughly with potable
water before re-use for food processing, preparation or serving. Dishes, food-handling utensils
and food-contacting surfaces should be thoroughly washed with soap and water if they become
contaminated during application of this product.
Use Dragnet FT EC Insecticide to control pests listed below by applications of a 0.5% emulsion.
Pests: Ants*, Bed Bugs, Bees***, Brown Dog Ticks, Carpenter Ants*, Carpet Beetles,
Cockroaches including Asian Cockroaches, Crickets, Earwigs, Firebrats, Fleas, House Flies,
Indian Meal Moth**, Silverfish, Spiders and Wasps***.
For Spot Treatment: Spray area where these pests are found or may hide, including dark
corners of rooms and closets, cracks and crevices in walls; along baseboards and door and
window frames: Behind and beneath sinks, stoves, refrigerators, and cabinets and around
garbage cans, plumbing and other utility installations. Pests driven out of hiding places should be
sprayed directly. For Ants, apply to Ant trails, also around doors and windows, and wherever
else these pests may find entrance. Repeat as necessary.
For Crack and Crevice: Apply spray in small amounts directly into cracks and crevices.
Equipment capable of delivering a pin stream should be used in points between different
elements of construction, between equipment and floors, openings leading to voids and hollow
spaces in walls, equipment legs and bases where the above insects hide.
To Kill Brown Dog Ticks and Fleas: Thoroughly apply as a spot treatment to infested areas
such as pet beds and resting quarters, nearby cracks and crevices, along and behind baseboards,
window and door frames, and localized areas of floor and floor coverings where these pests may
be present. Old bedding should be removed and replaced with clean fresh bedding after
treatment. Do not spray pets with this product.
*
Ant infested wood may be drilled and injected with Dragnet FT EC Insecticide.
**
Remove all utensils, uncovered foodstuffs (or any having original package opened), shelf
paper and other objects before spraying. Allow treated surfaces to dry and cover shelves
with clean paper before replacing any utensils, foodstuff or other items. Any foodstuff
accidentally contaminated with spray solution should be discarded.
*** For optimal control of Bees and Wasps, treat nests directly.
Page 7
B.
Pest Control Outdoors
Posts, Poles and Other Construction: Create an insecticidal barrier in the soil around wooden
constructions such as signs, fences and landscape ornamentation by applying a 0.5% to 1.0%
emulsion.
Previously installed poles and posts may be treated by sub-surface injection or treated by gravity-
flow through holes made from the bottom of a trench around the pole or post. Treat on all sides
to create a continuous insecticidal barrier around the pole. Apply to a depth of 15 cm below the
bottom of the wood. For larger constructions, use 15 litres per 3 linear metres per 30 cm of
depth.
Treatment of Wood in Place for Control of Wood-Infesting Insects
(Localized areas in Structures, Spot Treatment Only)
For the control of insects such as Termites, Ants, and wood-infesting beetles such as Old House
Borer, Powder Post in localized areas of infested wood in and 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. Paint on or fan spray
applications may also be used. Plastic sheeting must be placed immediately below overhead
areas that are spot treated except for soil surfaces in crawlspaces. Application may be made to
inaccessible areas by drilling, and then injecting emulsion with a crack and crevice injector into
the damaged wood or void spaces. This type of application is not intended to be a substitute for
soil treatment, mechanical alteration or fumigation to control extensive infestation of Wood-
infesting insects.
Termite carton nests in trees or building voids may be injected with 0.5% to 1.0% emulsion.
Multiple injection points to varying depths may be necessary. It is desirable to physically remove
carton nest material from building voids when such nests are found.
Broadcast treatment of wood for the control of wood-infesting insects and nuisance pests
outside of structure: Apply a 0.5% emulsion with a fan spray using a maximum pressure of 170
kilopascals. Treatment should be made just to the point of runoff.
To control wood-infesting insects active inside trees, utility poles and/or fence posts, drill to find
the interior infested cavity and inject a 0.5% emulsion. To control Bees, Wasps, Hornets and
Yellow-jackets, apply in late evening when insects are at rest. Aim spray at nest openings in
ground, bushes and in cracks and crevices which may harbour nests, saturating nest openings and
contacting as many insects as possible.
Pest Control on Outside Surfaces and Around Buildings
(Spot and Perimeter Treatment)
Apply Dragnet FT EC Insecticide using a 0.5% emulsion as a residual spray to outside surfaces
of buildings including, but not limited to, exterior siding, foundations, porches, window frames,
eaves, patios, garages, refuse dumps, home or residential lawns only, soil, trunks of woody
Page 8
ornamentals and other areas where pests congregate or have been seen. Repeat treatment as
necessary to maintain effectiveness.
Vinyl and Aluminum Siding: The application of Dragnet FT EC Insecticide to vinyl and
aluminum siding (particularly lightly colored, aged, weathered or otherwise damaged) may result
in staining, bleaching or discoloration. Factors such as extreme heat and direct sunlight can
promote damage when using emulsifiable concentrates. Before applying Dragnet FT EC
Insecticide to vinyl or aluminum siding, treat a small area and evaluate 30 minutes later to allow
any potential staining to occur. Regardless of the test results, do not apply to vinyl or aluminum
siding while exposed to direct sunlight or during the heat of the day.
Perimeter Treatment: Apply to a band of soil and vegetation 1.5 to 3.0 metres wide around and
adjacent to the structure. Also, treat the foundation of the structure to a height of ฝ to 1 metre.
Use a spray volume of 10 to 40 litres per 100 square metres. Higher volumes of water may be
needed if mulch or leaf litter is present or dense foliage. House siding may be treated if pests
such as Gypsy Moth and Caterpillars, Earwigs or Silverfish are present.
Adult Mosquito Control as a Perimeter Application: Mix 130 mL Dragnet FT EC Insecticide
per 10 L of water and apply around the perimeter of the property to shrubs, evergreens and tall
grass where mosquitoes generally congregate. Apply spray solution until foliage is wet.
Perimeter treatment is intended for application around homes, residences and other buildings.
Dragnet FT EC Insecticide is not to be used for broadcast application on lawns or other large
areas. Dragnet FT EC Insecticide is not intended for perimeter control around public facilities
such as parks. Do not apply within 15 m of any body of water.

CLUSTER FLIES
Cluster flies are members of the Order (Diptera) and resemble house flies. They are
distinguished by their sluggish and erratic behaviour and by wings that overlap when at rest.
They derive their name from their habit of entering a building in the fall and clustering together
to overwinter. The search for protected places to overwinter begins as days shorten in mid-
August. Warm sunny walls draw the flies as the climate cools during this search. This offers an
opportunity to control the fly population outside the building. Control within buildings when
warranted is directed to the attic where the flies can overwinter if they gain access.
OUTDOOR CONTROL – Prepare a spray mixture of 130 mL of DRAGNET FT EC Insecticide
in 10 L of water. Spray this mixture to the outside walls including under the eaves, soffits and
window trim. Spray to the point of run-off (approximately 10 L of spray per 100 m
2
). The
effective time of application is between mid-August and the end of September depending on
weather conditions.
INDOOR CONTROL (ATTIC) – WHEN REQUIRED – Prepare a mixture of 130 mL of
DRAGNET FT EC Insecticide in 1 L of clean water. Apply this mixture to the attic area using an
electric mist blower. Operate the electric mist blower from the attic entrance moving it around to
cover the whole attic area. Apply at the rate of 1 L per 200 m
2
. Once the spraying is complete
(usually a minute), close the attic entrance.
NOTE: The operator should wear a suitable pesticide respirator while performing this operation.
NOTICE TO USER: This control product is to be used only in accordance with the directions
on this label. It is an offence under the Pest Control Products Act to use a control product under
unsafe conditions.
NATURE OF RESTRICTION: This product is to be used only by licensed pest control
operators authorized with permits by government for control of subterranean Termite
populations infesting buildings; for use only in areas designated as being Termite infested areas.
Not for sale to the general public.
RESTRICTED USE
D. TERMITE CONTROL
For control or prevention of subterranean Termite infestations in buildings or masonry structures.
Dragnet FT is to be applied as a 0.5 to 1.0 % emulsion in water as a pre-treatment of new
construction or as a treatment to existing structures according to the accompanying
DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Use only as much Dragnet FT EC Insecticide emulsion necessary to
form a continuous barrier against termite invasion. Dragnet FT EC Insecticide can be applied
only after proper site preparations, including removal of all wood/soil contact, have been
Page 10
completed. Attention should be paid to applicator safety and proper handling procedures.
Consideration of the design of the structure, water table, soil type, soil compaction, grade
condition and location and type of domestic water supplied will determine proper application
methods. During and after treatment, clean-up of any spills is mandatory and drill holes must be
properly sealed.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Site preparation: Dragnet FT EC Insecticide can control
subterranean termites only when applied after proper site preparation.
New construction: Remove all wood and cellulose debris from property prior to erecting forms
for pouring concrete. After pouring concrete slabs, walls, piers, etc., remove all framework wood
from the building site. Do not use backfill containing wood or cellulose. It is important that new
construction has a minimum wood-to-soil clearance of 50 cm in order to discourage termite
invasion.
Existing Structures: Replace wood infested and damaged beyond repair and where there is
wood/soil contact. Correct conditions leading to abnormally high moisture in and around the
structure e.g., grading, eavestroughing, etc. Break wood-soil contact by the following measures:
1. Remove all loose wood and other cellulose debris from property around the structure to be
protected.
2. Ensure adequate clearance (50 cm) exists between soil and structural wood or support posts
under porches or in crawl spaces. Excavate and pour new concrete piers if necessary.
Wooden support posts can be replaced with steel jack posts.
3. Windowsills below grade level require alteration employing a window well to retain soil.
4. Outdoor, wooden stair supports should be severed 10-15 cm above soil level and supported
by concrete slabs or blocks.
5. Where wooden siding is used, lower grade to expose a minimum of 15 cm of foundation
wall.
6. Repair all cracks or other points of entry for Termites in foundation walls or concrete floors
(e.g. expansion jackets, crevices, weeping tiles, utility holes, etc.) with a commercial sealant,
preferably concrete.
7. Provide adequate ventilation for soil-surfaced crawlspaces under porches or living areas.
Mixing Instructions: Prior to mixing, inspect mixing tank, pumps, hoses and all fittings to
ensure that all equipment is in good working order and that there are no leaks. See General
Information section for volume details to make a 0.5% and 1.0% emulsion .
Mix by agitation and maintain gentle continuous agitation during application period. All Dragnet
FT EC Insecticide applications are to be made through a vertical rod or sub-slab injector with a
pressure from 200 to 350 kilopascals. Do not leave the mixing tank unattended during mixing or
application periods.
Dragnet FT Application: Pre-treatment of New Construction: A 0.5% to 1.0% Dragnet FT
EC Insecticide emulsion should be applied to the soil underneath and around concrete slabs,
Page 11
foundations, crawlspaces, piers, etc., so as to provide a continuous chemical barrier against
Termite invasion. Up to 1.0% emulsion may be used in critical areas and areas which will be
difficult to re-treat. All product is to be applied by rodding. Flooding or percolating hose
application is not permissible. Soil crawl spaces must be covered with a plastic vapour barrier
after treatment and provided with adequate ventilation.
Slab on ground: Apply 5 litres emulsion/m
2
under the slab, attached porches and platforms
before the concrete is poured, but after any forms are erected. The emulsion should be applied by
rodding at 1.0 m intervals.
1. Apply 6 litres emulsion/linear metre to the following critical areas under the slab before the
concrete is poured: outside of foundation walls, under interior partition walls, under any
footing and around utility services or other features that will penetrate the slab.
2. If necessary to complete a chemical barrier, inject 1.3 litres emulsion into voids of all unit
masonry foundation walls or piers at 0.5 m intervals. Wherever possible, drill injection holes
on the outside of the foundation walls. Cap voids with vapour barrier in order to seal in
chemical.

Basement and Crawlspace Construction: Apply 5 litres emulsion/m
2
under basement or
crawlspace slab and attached porches and platforms prior to pouring concrete, but after forms are
erected. The emulsion should be applied by rodding at 1.0 m intervals.
1. Apply 6 litres emulsion/linear metre to the following critical areas under the basement slab or
under a crawlspace prior to construction: along outside edges of foundation walls, under
interior partition walls, under or around piers, under footings under stairway stringers, around
utility services or other features that will penetrate the slab.
2. Inject 1.5 litres emulsion into voids of all unit masonry foundation walls or piers at 0.5 m
intervals. Wherever possible, drill injection holes on the outside of the foundation walls. Cap
walls or piers with vapour barriers in order to seal in chemical. Seal drill holes with plugs and
mortar.
3. During backfilling, apply 12 litres/linear metre to soil at a distance of approximately 30 cm
from the outside of the foundation wall from top of footing to grade. Treat by rodding at 20-
30 cm intervals.
4. Apply 5 litres emulsion/m
2
to soil under crawlspace by rodding at 1.0 m intervals. Cover
treated soil with vapour barrier, provide adequate ventilation and a minimum clearance of 50
cm.
Existing Structures: Dragnet FT EC Insecticide applications can be made to existing structures
to discourage further or future Termite damage in areas designated as being termite infested.
Follow instructions for site preparation above. Dragnet FT EC Insecticide should be applied to
soil along the exterior perimeter and along the interior perimeter of the foundation, along
partition walls, around support piers and stairway stringers. Dragnet FT EC Insecticide should be
applied using a 0.5% to 1.0% emulsion to the interior of foundation wall voids and support pier
voids. Treat wall voids from outside wherever possible using a 0.5% to 1.0% emulsion. Up to
1.0% emulsion may be used in critical areas and areas which will be difficult to treat. Apply
Page 12
chemical emulsion at a pressure of 200-300 kilopascals through rods or sub-slab injector.
Reduce pressure in hard soils.
Treatment of Exterior Foundation Perimeter: Apply 5 litres emulsion/linear metre/25 cm of
penetration depth from grade to top of footing by rodding or injecting at 25-30 cm intervals.
Dragnet FT EC Insecticide must be applied so as to create an even barrier from grade down to
the top of footing.
Concrete, asphalt or block sidewalks, driveways, patios, etc. adjacent to foundation must be
drilled prior to rodding in chemical.
If the post contains a void, inject emulsion into the void via a sub-slab injector at a rate of 7.5
litres emulsion/linear metre.
Treatment of Interior Walls of Foundation:
Concrete floor: Drill holes at 30 to 40 cm intervals, 15-30 cm from the foundation and apply 5
litres of the Dragnet FT EC Insecticide /water mixture per hole (7.5 litres/linear metre) with a
sub-slab injector. Plug and seal drill holes with good quality mortar.
Soil Floor: Excavate and level soil in order to provide sufficient clearance to allow rodding of
chemical. Apply 5 litres of the Dragnet FT EC Insecticide/water mixture per hole by rodding at
30 to 40 cm intervals from the foundation (7.5 litres/linear metre). Vents must be installed to
provide sufficient ventilation for crawl spaces. Treated soil must be covered by a vapour barrier
(concrete or polyethylene) under living space areas.
Treatment of Wall Voids of Foundation: Drill holes at 25 to 50 cm intervals just above grade
level on the exterior surface of hollow foundation walls if possible (block construction, rubble
walls, etc.). Inject 5 litres of the Dragnet FT EC Insecticide/water mixture per 0.5 linear metre
via a sub-slab injector.
Treatment Along Interior Partition Walls: A basement partition wall extending into or
through a concrete floor should be treated through a series of holes at 30-40 cm intervals on both
sides of the wall. Apply 7.5 litres of the Dragnet FT EC Insecticide/water mixture per linear
metre with a sub-slab injector. A basement partition wall set out on a slab floor should be treated
as above but only on one side of the wall.
Support Posts and Piers: Apply 6 litres of the Dragnet FT EC Insecticide/water mixture per m
2
to the base of support posts via a sub-slab injector for a concrete floor and via rodding for soil
floors. If the post contains a void, inject emulsion into the void via a sub-slab injector at a rate of
7.5 litres of the Dragnet FT/water mixture/linear metre.

SWEET CORN: European Corn Borer, Corn Earworm and Sap Beetle – Mix 3.25 mL with 10
L of water. European Corn Borer – In early plantings, apply when first feeding is seen on the
leaves. In later plantings, apply before tassels show and repeat at 5 day intervals until early silk
stage. Corn Earworm – When 25% of ears show silk, start spraying and fully cover ears and silk.
Apply 4 sprays allowing 4 days between sprays (3 day intervals in hot weather). Sap Beetles –
Apply when pink spotted beetles appear. Do not treat within 1 day of harvest.
PEPPERS: European Corn Borer – Mix 3.25 mL with 10 L of water and apply if corn borer is
noticed on plants (usually end of July to early September). Do not apply within 1 day of harvest.
POTATOES AND TOMATOES: Colorado Potato Beetle, Potato Flea Beetle, Potato
Leafhopper, Tarnished Plant Bug and Whiteflies – Mix 2.5 mL with 10 L of water. Do not apply
to tomatoes within 1 day of harvest.
Cutworms – These insects attack and cut off seedlings, transplants and low-lying plants like
petunias and pansies. To confirm the cause, finger soil around damaged plant looking for a soft,
dark-coloured worm in a curled position. Mix 2.5 mL with 10 L of water and apply to cover
ground area of 100 m
2
. If soil is organic (muck soil) or very dry, apply 5 mL in 10 L of water per
100 m
2
. For Variegated Cutworms (climbing cutworms) on Potatoes, Tomatoes and Ornamental
Plants – mix 2.5 mL with 10 L of water. Thoroughly spray the plant and underlying ground at the
first sign of damage. Do not apply within 1 day of harvest.
NOTE: Only cutworms feeding on the soil surface and above will be controlled. Subterranean
cutworms will not be controlled unless they come up and move on the treated surface.

Resistance-Management Recommendations
For resistance management, please note that Dragnet FT EC Insecticide contains a Group 3
insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Dragnet FT EC
Insecticide and other Group 3 insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect
population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance
mechanisms that are not linked to site of action but are specific for individual chemicals, such as
Page 15
enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be
followed.
To delay insecticide resistance:
• Where possible, rotate the use of Dragnet FT EC Insecticide or other Group 3 insecticides
with different groups that control the same pests in a field.
• Avoid application of consecutive sprays of Dragnet FT EC Insecticide or other insecticides in
the same group in a session.
• Insecticide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, record keeping,
and considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
• Monitor treated pest populations for resistance development.
• Contact your local extension specialist for any additional pesticide resistance-management
and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact company representatives at
1-800-461-6471 or at www.nu-gro.com.
