How to apply:

Do not apply as a space spray or broadcast treatment.

Apply as a crack and crevice, perimeter, spot or furniture (pet bedding, mattresses, box springs and bed frames only) treatment only. 

Crack and crevice is an application directly into narrow openings on the surface of the structure. It does not include the treatment of exposed surfaces. Narrow openings typically occur at expansion joints, utility entry points and along baseboards and mouldings.

Perimeter application is less than 0.3m wide along the edges of a room to baseboards, wall-floor and ceiling-wall joints, and around doorways or windows.

Spot application is localized to a surface area not more than 0.2m². Spots are not to be adjoining and the combined area of spots is not to exceed 10% of the total surface area of a room.

Furniture treatment is broadcast application that covers large areas of the entire surface of items; crack and crevice treatments are applications to junction points on items; spot application is up to 10% of the surface of the item; and tuft and/or seam treatment (mattresses only) is to the junction of two or more pieces of fabric and any decorative trim (e.g., buttons).

Surface application: Do not exceed max spray rate of 1-2 seconds per 200cm² (no more than 2 sprays per day) for all indoor surface applications.

To kill spiders, sowbugs, centipedes, ants, and silverfish: Thoroughly treat indoor building surfaces, including cracks and crevices in walls, floors and ceilings; along and behind baseboards; walls behind and floors beneath appliances (e.g., refrigerators and stoves) and furniture (e.g., cabinets and storage units); around sinks, drains and pipes; localized areas around garbage cans; and other building elements where listed insects are found. For silverfish, also spray cracks and crevices in bookcases. Remove all objects before treatment of bookcases where books, clothing, toys, towels and other items are stored. Treated bookcases must be dry before replacing stored items. For ants, also spray trails, nests, and points of entry (e.g., around windows and doors). For spiders and centipedes, also spray localized areas of floors and floor coverings.

To kill carpet beetles: Spray edges of carpeting and underneath carpets and rugs. Make localized applications to floors and baseboards.

Ants: Store ant-attractive foods in plastic containers with lids that snap tight. Empty kitchen garbage containers often.

Indoors, caulk along baseboards, cracks and crevices to keep the ants from passing through your house.

Spiders: Sweep behind washers and dryers often and rearrange furniture periodically to avoid spiders spinning webs in the same location. Keep clothing, shoes and blankets off the floor so that spiders do not hide in them during the day.
