Avoid excessive wetting of linoleum, asphalt tiles or plastic. Allow surfaces to remain wet for at least 5 minutes. Do not apply as a broadcast spray.

- For more serious problems, a wider band of treatment, up to 10 feet, maybe necessary
- Spray with the wind to avoid drifting of the spray onto skin or clothing

I’m a little disappointed that this product doesn’t last longer. I mean, we’re talking about keeping away bugs for good but it only lasts one or two months max before they come back again! Other than this shortcoming though, everything is great with my bug spray purchase so far – in spite of all those pesky bloodsuckers wanting nothing more than to make me their next meal (or victims!).
