USING THE READY SPRAY NOZZLE

1. Shake container well before using.
2. Connect a garden hose to the sprayer nozzle. Make sure switch is fully forward in the “OFF” position.
3. Turn on water at faucet. Extend hose to the farthest area to be treated and work back toward the faucet so you don’t come in contact with the treated area.
4. Remove safety tab from sprayer’s right side by pulling straight out. Discard or keep for future re-use.
5. To BEGIN spraying, point nozzle toward treatment site and pull switch backwards with thumb towards hose connection. Water will automatically mix with the product.
6. Spray until wet to control insects. Walk at a steady pace, working back toward the faucet while spraying using an even sweeping motion, slightly overlapping treated areas.
7. To STOP spraying, push switch forward with thumb toward nozzle. Turn water off at faucet. To relieve pressure before removing nozzle from hose, pull switch backwards with thumb towards hose connection until water stops spraying.
8. To STORE unused product, make sure switch is fully forward in the “OFF” position.
9. Re-install safety tab into sprayer’s right side. With sprayer in the full “OFF” position, push tab into position.
10. Place in cool area away from heat, sunlight or open flame.

NOTE: This product is non-staining to most home siding depending on age and cleanliness. However, before using in areas where the spray may contact home siding (vinyl siding in particular), test in an inconspicuous area and recheck in a few hours. Do not use if any staining is observed.
