Tools Needed

Because this Neem Oil is ready-to-spray (RTS), you will need a standard garden hose to attach the bottle to and apply the product. It is recommended to have personal protective equipment (PPE) such as chemical resistant gloves, safety goggles, mask, long-sleeve shirt, long-sleeve pants, closed-toe shoes with socks, coveralls, and apron or Tyvek suit.

Due to the effectiveness of this product, adjuvants such as spreaders, stickers, extenders, etc. should not be used.

How to Use

• Step 1: Before you start, the blue top water flow valve should be in the “OFF” position, and the red product flow valve should be in the up, “OFF” position. Inspect the foliage to be treated to make sure it listed on the label prior to treatment. For general applications, mix 2 tablespoons (1 fl. oz.) of Monterey Neem Oil RTS per gallon of water. However, as this product is already ready to use this rate will not apply unless you are refilling the product container. 
• Step 2: Shake container well and attach it to your garden hose. Turn on the water from the faucet. To apply, remove side pin (labeled PULL OUT) and rotate red product flow valve to “ON”; then while holding sprayer at waist level and pointing in a direction away from face and body, push blue water flow valve forward to activate water. Frequently mix solution as you spray to avoid separation of product.
• Step 3: When you are finished spraying or if you have to stop spraying at any time, press blue water flow valve with thumb to the rear to shut off water and return side red valve to the upright “OFF” position and replace side pin. Turn off the water at the faucet.
• Step 4: Remove the container from the garden hose; then rinse thoroughly and store according to storage instructions
