Tools Needed

It can be applied with a handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or hose-end sprayer.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Bonide Eight Insect Control Vegetable, Fruit, & Flower Concentrate to use by measuring the treatment area's square footage. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For ants, crickets and grasshoppers in lawns, use 2 fl. oz. of Bonide Eight Insect Control Vegetable, Fruit, & Flower Concentrate in 3 gallons of water to cover 1,000 sq. ft. For other listed insects in lawns, use 6 fl. oz. of product in 10 gallons of water to cover 1,000 sq. ft. Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions. 
• Step 2: Fill the spray tank with half the amount of water, add the proper amount of product, then pour in the remaining half of the water. Close the tank lid and agitate the tank until well-mixed.
• Step 3: Thoroughly wet down the lawn a few hours before applying. Spray the top and bottom of leaves until wet, but not to the point of runoff. 

Where to Use

Bonide Eight Insect Control Vegetable, Fruit, & Flower Concentrate can be used outdoors for home lawns, houseplants, trees, shrubs, roses, flowers, fruit trees, nut trees, listed vegetables, and around outside surfaces of buildings.
