Step-by-step Instructions

  • 1. Fill Bag With Water

    Fill the included application bag with water to the fill line.

    If your home is smaller than 1,000 sq. ft, only fill to the half full line.

  • 2. Pour Pesticide Into Bag

    Carefully open and pour the pesticide concentrate into the application bag.

    For liquid pesticides, fill the emptied pesticide bottle with water and pour back into the application bag three times.

  • 3. Insert Sprayer & Shake

    Insert tube and sprayer assembly into the bag. Screw on the cap. Before spraying, shake the bag well to mix the formula.

  • 4. Adjust Sprayer Nozzle

    The sprayer nozzle is adjustable. Set the nozzle so that it sprays in a wide, even pattern.

  • 5. Spray Perimeter

    Spray pesticide around the entire outside perimeter of your home.

    Lightly spray the foundation, 2 feet up and 2 feet out. Pace yourself, spraying a consistent amount around entire perimeter. A little goes a long way.

    If you’re seeing a lot of bugs inside, you can treat indoors on baseboards, under large appliances, or wherever else you’ve seen bugs.

  • 6. Spray Points of Entry

    Identify and spray points of entry like door frames, window wells, garage door openings, foundation cracks, and around windows (avoiding the glass).

    Optionally spray porches, decks, inside your garage, and anywhere else you’ve seen bugs.

  • 7. Use All Pesticide

    If you have any leftover mixture, spray around your home again until the bag is empty. Make sure to apply all of the mixed pesticide; once mixed with water, it cannot be stored. Do not dump leftovers down the drain.

  • 8. Allow to Fully Dry

    The pesticide needs to fully dry before allowing people or animals to come in contact with treated areas. This usually takes at least 30 minutes, but depends on temperature.

  • 9. Clean Up

    Store the sprayer for your next application. Do not use your sprayer for anything other than pesticide application. Dispose of the empty application bag, pesticide container, and gloves. Wash hands.
