Tools Needed

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much AquaBac Granular Mosquito Bait to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). To find acreage, divide the square footage by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acres.) AquaBac should be applied at a rate of 2.5 to 10 lbs. per acre.
• Step 2: Load the granules into a spreader at the best rate for your treatment area and then apply uniformly over the water surface.
• Step 3: Reapply as needed every 30 days for continued control.
