WISDOM EZ is a pyrethroid insecticide containing 0.2% Bifenthrin. It is designed for outdoor use on lawns and landscaped areas to control a variety of pests including ants (including imported fire ants), mole crickets, sod webworms, armyworms, cutworms, annual bluegrass weevil, billbugs, centipedes, fleas, millipedes, ticks, and more. It can be used on residential, institutional, public, commercial, and industrial sites, as well as parks and athletic fields. For best results, applications should be made in cool weather (65–80°F) during early or late evening hours. When treating fire ant mounds, the product should be applied directly to the mound and then irrigated with water to drive the insecticide into the tunnels. Users must be careful to avoid application near water bodies (lakes, ponds, streams, etc.) and should avoid applying when rain is expected within 4 hours or when wind speeds exceed 15 mph. This product is highly toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates.
