How to Use

• Step 1: Thoroughly wet down grass a few hours before application to help draw soil dwelling pests to the surface to make contact with Summit Tick & Flea Spray. Remove pets, birds, and cover fish aquariums in the application site before spraying this product. Determine how much Summit Tick & Flea Spray to use by calculating the square footage of the area to be treated. To do this, measure the treatment areas length and width and follow the formula (length X width = square footage). A standard application will use 1.28 oz. (2.56 tbsp.) of Summit Tick & Flea Spray per 1 gallon of water.
• Step 2: Fill your sprayer halfway with water, then add the measured amount of Summit Tick & Flea Spray, and fill the rest of the way with remaining half of water. Secure the lid to the spray tank and shake until evenly mixed.
• Step 3: Spray until the top and bottom of leaves are wet to the point of run-off, except on trees and shrubs. The target pest and plant should be completely covered with spray. Applications to building surfaces should not exceed a height of 3 feet. Wait until treated areas are dry before lightly watering. For heavy infestations in grasses, you may repeat application after 2 weeks from first application.
