How to Use

• Indoors: To apply directly into cracks or crevices, use a bulbous duster, or other suitable equipment. Apply lightly and uniformly to infested area. Pay particular attention cracks and crevices; service ducts, false floors and ceilings; wall void; around electrical and telephone fittings and equipment; around water and sewer pipes; under and behind cabinets; refrigerators and sinks; around windows and door frames; along baseboards; in attics and crawl spaces. The amount to be applied will vary with the site, but usually be in the range of 2-3 grams of product per square yard (or 0.5 lb. per 1,000 square feet). Refer to the product label for specific application instructions by pest type and location.
• Shrubs and ornamentals: Apply when insects or their damage first appear and repeat at weekly intervals if necessary. Apply 8 ounces per 1,000 sq. ft.; or thoroughly apply to place a thin layer of dust on both upper and lower sides of leaves, stems, and flowers. Roses, petunias, chrysanthemums, geraniums, carnations, and other related flowers: To control many leaf and flower chewing insects, apply as soon as the insect appears and repeat at 7 day intervals or as long as chewing insects continue to appear. Apply a thin layer of dust on both upper and lower sides of leaves, stems, and flowers.
• Perimeter treatment: Make a residual treatment around windows and doors, porches, screens, eaves, patios, garages, under stairways, in crawl spaces, and other areas where pests hide. To help prevent the invasion of building and structures by these pests, apply thoroughly and uniformly to the foundation and crawl spaces where pests are active and may find entrance.
• Home vegetable gardens: Dust lightly to cover both upper and lower leaf surfaces with a thin, even film of dust. Apply when air is calm to avoid drift and contact with eyes and skin. Start applying at the farthest corner of the treatment area and work backward to avoid contact with dusted surface. Allow dust to settle in treated area before reentering. Refer to the product label for specific application instructions by vegetable and pest type.
