Microcare Insecticide Aerosol
Microcare Insecticide Aerosol
Microcare CS Aerosol Insecticide, manufactured by BASF, is made with pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) to provide a quick knock down spray for different types of harmful insects such as spiders and cockroaches.
Each can of Microcare comes with a straw-like applicator tip to reach targeted pests that hide in cracks and crevices of cabinets, floors, and walls or ensures that only the targeted pest is sprayed. Microcare CS Aerosol Insecticide can be sprayed in a lot of different types of residential areas, businesses and outdoor areas such as hotels, grain mills and zoos.
This product is safe to use in sensitive areas where food is handled and strong enough to kill on contact. Bothersome insects do not stand a chance and have no where to hide when Microcare CA Aerosol is a part of a pest control kit.
Tools Needed
To use Microcare for treating cracks and crevices, a straw applicator tip is needed.
How to Use
Step 1: Identify targeted pests and areas that need product application then shake the aerosol can well before use and then attach the applicator tip which comes with the product. Determine how much product you will need to spray by first calculating the square footage by measuring (in feet) the length and width and then multiplying the two values (length x width = square footage). For cubic footage, multiply the length, width and height (length x width x height = square footage).
Step 2: Inject into cracks and crevices or void spaces where you have seen insect activity or where they may be hiding. Place spray tip into cracks, crevices, holes, and other small points of entry. Release approximately 1 second of product. Move injector tip along cracks while treating at a rate of 1-3 feet per second, depending on the level of infestation. For light infestations, move the injector tip along cracks while treated at a rate of 3 ft per second. For heavy infestations, move the inject tip along at 1 foot per second.
Step 3: For spot treatments, release the product onto the surface, making sure not to exceed 2 sq. ft. for each spot treatment. Spray the necessary areas and do not apply more than once a day
Where to Use
Microcare CS Aerosol Insecticide can be used indoors or outdoors for residential, commercial, and industrial areas. It is a great product to eliminate targeted pests in places such as restaurants, meat packing plants, hotels, nursing homes, food storage areas and more.
For indoor use Microcare CS can be sprayed into cracks and crevices around doors, windows, floors, wall voids, storage areas, and plumbing pipes. Microcare CS can be applied to the inside of transportation equipment, but is only to be used in cargo areas of planes. Do not use in aircraft cabins.
For outdoor use Microcare CS can be applied into cracks and crevices around doors, windows, driveways, porches, and any structural building. It can be used at campgrounds and other recreational areas.
When to Use
Microcare CS Aerosol Insecticide can be used to treat targeted pests as soon as they are identified. It is not suggested to use Microcare CS outdoors when it is raining as it will weaken the effects.
