How to Use

• Step 1: Determine the size of the treatment area in square feet and calculate the appropriate amount of granules to apply based on the infestation severity.

Safety Information

Essentria CG Granular Insecticide is safe when used as directed, but it can cause eye irritation and allergic skin reactions in sensitive individuals, especially those sensitive to Geraniol. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing; avoid breathing dust; wear protective eyewear, gloves, and clothing during application; wash hands thoroughly after use; keep out of reach of children; and keep pets away from treated areas until dry.
