Mixing Instructions
EXILE™ CS insecticide is intended for dilution 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 treatments. Application equipment that delivers low volume treatments, such
as the Micro-Injector
® 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 EXILE™ CS insecticide. Close and shake before use in order to ensure proper mixing.
Shake or reagitate applicator tank before use if application is interrupted. Mix only amount
of treatment volume as required. A general surface treatment of EXILE™ CS insecticide may
be applied by using a paintbrush or other porous applicator attached to a handle.
Tank Mixing
EXILE™ CS insecticide 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 mixed with sanitizers, EXILE™ CS insecticide should be
added to the tank first. If other chemicals are added to the applicator tank, EXILE™CS insecticide
should be added last. If mixed with EC formulations, use within 24 hrs. Fill tank to desired volume
and continue to agitate while making applications.
EXILE™ CS insecticide may be tank mixed with an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) such as
Archer
® Insect Growth Regulator.
Observe all restrictions and precautions which appear on the labels of these
products.
Foam Applications
EXILE™CS insecticide 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
arthropods harboring in walls, under slabs, or in other void areas.

SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS
Ants
Apply to any trails around doors and windows and other places where ants may be found. For
best results, locate and treat nests. Where ants are trailing inside, apply as a residual surface
treatment to active areas such as baseboards, corners, around pipes, in and behind cabinets,
behind and under refrigerators, sinks, furnaces and stoves, cracks and crevices. When combining
baits and residual surface insecticides, apply surface insecticides in cracks and crevices, along
baseboards, and infested surfaces and outside barrier treatments. Treatment of perimeter landscaping
can reduce honeydew-producing insects and limit this ant food source. Use baits in other
areas that are untreated by residual insecticides; also see
Outdoor Surfaces Use.
Cockroaches, Crickets, Earwigs, Firebrats, Silverfish, and Spiders
Apply as a coarse, low pressure spray to areas where these pests hide, such as baseboards, corners,
storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, attics and eaves, cabinets,
behind and under refrigerators, furniture, sinks, furnaces and stoves, the underside of shelves,
drawers and similar areas. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices; also see
Outdoor
Surfaces Use.
Bedbugs
Recommend cleaning of floors and surfaces by vacuuming. Apply as a coarse, low-pressure spray
to harborage areas including crevices, baseboards, loose plaster, behind bed frames and headboards,
beneath beds and furniture, and to bedsprings and bed frames. Do not apply to furniture
surfaces or mattresses where people will be laying or sitting. Infested bedding should not be
treated, but should be removed, placed in sealed plastic bags, and taken for laundering and
drying at high temperatures.
Bees, Flies, Mosquitoes, and Wasps
Apply directly to walls, ceilings, window screens, and other resting areas as a residual surface
treatment. May be used inside residential buildings as well as in and around carports, garages,
and storage sheds; also see
Outdoor Surfaces Use. Use caution when treating nests of stinging
insects as EXILE™CS insecticide does not provide instant knockdown. Protective equipment
for the applicator may be required. For best results, treat bee, wasp and hornet nests late in the
day when most insects will be present. Allow 2-3 days for colony to die and retreat if necessary.
For mosquito control, apply as a general structural perimeter spray to landscape plantings, turf,
and building foundations to control mosquitoes. Yards or other frequented areas enclosed by
landscaping can benefit from the creation of a mosquito barrier to reduce invading mosquitoes
by the treatment of perimeter vegetation. For best results, apply EXILE™ CS insecticide at
recommended rates in 2–5 gals. of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Higher volumes applied result in
better coverage and, as a rule, will improve control. Application to vegetation away from structures
may require additional certification, e.g. in turf or ornamental categories. Consult your state
regulatory agency for requirements.
Carpenter Bees
Apply coarse spray to thoroughly wet wood surfaces where bees have been previously active or
to provide protection against further damage. Apply early in the spring to prevent bees from
invading wood. When bees have infested wood, surface applications can help control embedded
larvae and bees that emerge from the wood. Applications can be made on a monthly basis to
maintain protection of treated areas.
Pantry Pests (i.e., Carpet beetle, Cigarette beetle, Confused flour beetle,
Lesser grain borer, Red flour beetle, Rice weevil, and Saw-toothed grain
beetle)
Apply to cupboards, shelving, and storage areas. Remove all utensils, uncovered foodstuffs (or any
having original package opened), and shelf paper before making application. Allow treated surfaces
to dry and cover shelves with clean paper before replacing any utensils, foodstuff, or other
items. Any foodstuff accidentally contaminated with treatment solution should be destroyed.
Boxelder Bugs, Centipedes, Millipedes, Pillbugs, and Sowbugs
Apply around doors and windows and other places where these pests may be found or where
they may enter premises. Treat baseboards, storage areas, and other locations. Apply barrier
treatments to prevent infestation as described below; also see
Outdoor Surfaces Use.
Fleas and Ticks
To control nuisance fleas and ticks (e.g. dog ticks) apply to kennels, yards, runs, and other areas
where pets may frequent. For best coverage to control ticks, apply using a coarse fan spray to
vegetation brush, branches, rock walls, and other areas near habitation where ticks may harbor
or frequent. Treat entire area rather than making spot treatments, and retreat as necessary to
maintain control. Do not apply to pasture or cropland, and do not allow animals and people
access to treated areas until the deposit has dried. Applications can be made on a monthly basis,
beginning in the spring and can continue until frost to control both larvae and adult ticks. Also,
treat pets with a product registered for flea and tick control. See
Outdoor Surfaces Use.
Cluster Flies
Apply in late summer or early fall before flies are observed alighting on surfaces. Apply thoroughly
on siding, under eaves, and around windows and doors, paying particular attention to
south-facing surfaces. Apply just enough dilution to adequately cover the area without excessive
dripping or runoff. Volume can vary depending on the surface type treated. Heavy precipitation
prior to frost may require retreatments to maintain protection. In winter and spring when flies
become active and are emerging, interior crack and crevice and void treatments can help reduce
the infestation, along with ULV or general surface application in infested attics or unoccupied
lofts.
Litter Beetles (Darkling, Hide, and Carrion Beetles) and Flies In Animal
Housing (Such As Poultry Houses)
To control adult litter beetles, apply EXILE™ CS insecticide to walls and floors at cleanout,
before reintroduction of animals. This will suppress beetles that escaped earlier treatment and
will help delay onset of future infestations. Pay attention to areas where beetles frequently
occur, such as walls, supports, cages, stalls, and around feeders. To help control flies, apply a
directed application to horizontal surfaces and overhead areas and allow to dry before reintroduction
of animals; also see
Livestock/Poultry Housing Structures and Pet Kennels.
Application Within Food Handling Establishments
(places other than private residences
in which exposed food is held, processed, prepared, or served) including, but not limited to,
areas for receiving, storage, packing (canning, bottling, wrapping, boxing), preparing foods,
edible waste storage and enclosed processing systems (mills, dairies, edible oils, syrups), and
serving areas.
Use as a crack and crevice or spot treatment in and around both food and nonfood areas. Apply
in small amounts directly into cracks and crevices, using equipment capable of delivering a pin
stream of insecticide, in points between different elements of construction, between equipment
and floor, openings leading to voids and hollow spaces in walls, equipment and bases. Food contact
surfaces and equipment should be cleaned with an effective cleaning compound and rinsed
with potable water before using.
Limit individual spot treatments to an area no larger than 20% of the treated surface. Individual
spot treatments should not exceed 2 sq. ft. Take extreme care that the product is not introduced
into the air. Avoid contamination of food and food processing surfaces.
Application Within Food Serving Areas (facilities where foods are served,
such as dining rooms)
Apply as a crack and crevice or spot treatment to selective surfaces such as baseboards, under
elements of construction, and into cracks and crevices. Avoid treating surfaces likely to be contacted
by food. (Do not apply when facility is in operation or foods are exposed.) Food must be
covered or removed in area being treated. Do not apply directly to food or allow applications to
contaminate food.
Application of this product in the Food Areas and/or Food Serving Areas of Food Handling
Establishments other than as a spot and/or crack and crevice treatment is not permitted. Use of
application equipment such as the Micro-Injector or Actisol applicator in food areas should be
limited to crack and crevice treatment only.
Livestock/Poultry Housing Structures and Pet Kennels
Apply as a general surface (including directed sprays) and/or crack and crevice treatment.
Control is enhanced when interior and exterior perimeter applications are made in and around
the livestock, poultry, and pet housing structures. Normal cleaning practices of the structure also
must be followed along with applications of EXILE™ CS insecticide to effectively control the
crawling and flying insect pests listed in the table.
unoccupied areas of livestock barns or housing structures, apply to floors, vertical, and overhead
surfaces where crawling or flying insect pests are or may be present. Feeders, waterers, and
feed carts should be covered before application to prevent contamination. Do not apply to milk
rooms or feed rooms. Pay attention to animal areas including stanchions, pipes, windows and
doors, and areas where insect pests hide or congregate. Exterior applications to south facing
walls and foundation perimeters can help prevent interior infestations of flying and crawling
insect pests.
For poultry houses, apply to floor area (birds grown on litter) or to walls, posts, and cage framing
(birds grown in cages). Application should also be made into cracks and crevices around
insulation. Reapply after each growout or sanitization procedure. Indoor control can be
enhanced by making perimeter treatments around the outside of building foundations to prevent
immigrating adult beetles. Apply in a uniform band 1–3 ft. up and 2–6 ft. out from foundation.
Maintaining a year-round treatment program will prevent background populations from
reaching problem levels.
Do not make interior applications of EXILE™ CS insecticide in areas of facility where animals
other than cattle or calves are present. Allow treated surfaces to completely dry before restocking
the facility.
DO NOT
make applications to any animal feedstuffs, water, or watering equipment.
DO NOT
contaminate any animal food, feed, or water in and around livestock, poultry, or pet
housing when making applications.
Outdoor Surfaces Use
For control of ants, bees, centipedes, cockroaches, crickets, fleas, flies, millipedes, mosquitoes,
scorpions, sowbugs, pillbugs, spiders, termites (above ground only), ticks, wasps, and other
similar perimeter arthropod pests. Apply with either hand or power application equipment as a
residual treatment to ornamental plants next to foundations of buildings and to surfaces of
buildings, porches, screens, window frames, eaves, patios, garages, refuse dumps, and other
similar areas where these insect pests are active. For termites, this type of application is not
intended as a substitute for soil treatment labeled termiticides or mechanical alteration to control
subterranean termites, or fumigation for extensive infestation of drywood termites or other
wood-infesting insects. The purpose of such applications of EXILE™ CS insecticide for termites
is to kill workers or winged reproductive forms which may be present in treated channels at the
time of treatment. Such applications are not a substitute for mechanical alteration, soil treatment
or foundation treatment, but are merely a supplement. This product is not recommended
as sole protection against termites. For active termite infestations, get a professional inspection.
Structural Perimeter Barrier Treatments
Applying a continual band of insecticide around a building foundation and around windows,
doors, service line entrances, eaves, vents, and other areas can greatly reduce the potential for
entry by crawling pests. To facilitate application, remove debris and leaf litter from next to the
foundation, cut back vegetation and branches that touch the foundation, and move or rake back
rocks, deep mulch, or other potential pest harborage next to the foundation. Apply the band up
to 10 ft. wide around the structure (or according to state regulations governing commercial pest
control) and upwards along the foundation to 3 ft. and around windows, doors, and roof overhangs.
Apply as a coarse spray to thoroughly and uniformly wet the foundation and/or band area
so that the insecticide will reach the soil or thatch level where pests may be active.
Amount of concentrate is dependent upon pest species (see pest table and comments), infestation
levels, and service interval desired.

Example calculation: to apply the mid-rate of EXILE™ CS insecticide at a volume of 5 gal./1000
sq. ft., mix 4 fl. oz. of concentrate in 50 gallons of water.
The percent active ingredient in the finished EXILE™ CS insecticide dilution can be calculated
with the following formula:
mL needed to add times 9.7% active in concentrate, divided by gal. finished dilution times
3785 mL/gal. = % active in dilution. (Example: 4 fl. oz. in 50 gal. is 120 mL, times 9.7 equals
1164, and 50 gal. times 3785 is 189250. Dividing 1164 by 189250 equals 0.006% active in
the tank dilution).
