Keep Pests At Bay All Year Long

FMC guarantees 90 days of no retreatments* after a Scion Insecticide with UVX Technology exterior perimeter barrier application1 on a recurring residential pest management service2 done in accordance with the best management practices outlined and made within the program period. If any retreatment is required during the 90-day period, FMC will provide the amount of Scion insecticide needed to make a reapplication to the treated area as outlined in the best management practices section of this program.

Pre-application Inspection

Always read and follow all label instructions.

  • Inspect premises for signs of pest activity and potential pest entry points. Correct these conditions as appropriate
  • Inspect premises for conditions conducive to pest activity. Such conditions may include vegetation contacting the foundation. Take appropriate measures to correct these conditions.
  • Ensure the application area is free of children and pets.
  • Ensure the application area is free of debris

Mixing

Dilute Scion Insecticide with water for application as a coarse spray for crack and crevice or spot and general surface (nonfood/non-feed areas only) treatments. Fill applicator tank with the desired volume of water and add Scion Insecticide. Close and shake before use to ensure proper mixing. Shake or re-agitate applicator tank before use if application is interrupted. Mix only amount of treatment volume as required. For applications to be made as part of the assurance program mix with an appropriate water volume to reach pest activity areas.

Application

Apply finished solution using backpack or tank spray equipment. Make application in a continual band around building foundations and around windows, doors, service line entrances, eaves, vents, and other potential pest entry points. Around building foundations, apply up to 3 ft. up the structure and 10 ft. out from the structure. See label for full application directions. Always read and follow label directions, precautions, and restrictions for use.
