How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Bonide Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray Concentrate to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. 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 flowers, ornamental trees, and shrubs apply 2.5 fl. oz. of Bonide Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray Concentrate in 1 gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. For spot treatment of localized areas, mix 7 fl. oz. in 1 gallon of water- -do not exceed 1 gallon of dilute spray per 1,000 sq. ft. For listed vegetables, use 1.5 fl. oz. of product in 1 gallon of water. Outdoors – Do not exceed 1 gallon of dilute spray per 1,000 sq. ft. for vegetables. In greenhouses – Do not exceed 1 gallon of dilute spray per 10,000 sq. ft. Do not apply more than 10 times per season for vegetables. Do not apply more than once a day for ornamentals.
- Step 2: Fill the spray tank with half the amount of water, add the proper amount of product, and pour in the remaining half of the water. Close the tank lid and shake until the solution is mixed.
- Step 3: Apply to insure thorough coverage of upper and lower leaf surfaces, but do not wet plants to the point of runoff or drip.
