How to Use
Shake well before using.
- 1. CONNECT: Connect sprayer to hose. Turn on water.
- 2. SPRAY: Extend the hose to the farthest point in the lawn or garden away from the water faucet. This will minimize walking on the treated area. To begin spraying, point nozzle in the direction you want to spray. Slide thumb activation switch forward to ON position.
- 3. FINISH: To STOP spraying, slide thumb activation switch backward to OFF position. Turn off water. Relieve water pressure by sliding thumb switch to WATER position until water slows to a drip. Then, slide switch back to OFF position. Disconnect sprayer from hose.
- When spraying landscaping (trees, shrubs & flowers): Apply as a thorough foliar spray. Spray into trees high enough to cover lower limbs.
- When spraying lawns: Do not aim toward ground. Apply over entire lawn as a thorough coverage spray.
- Thoroughly spray the yard, landscape, and around perimeter of patios or decks to ensure full protection.
- Applying according to these directions will kill mosquitoes and also repel mosquitoes for up to 12 hours.
