DIRECTIONS FOR USE: CONTINUOUS COCKROACH KILLING ACTION FOR 60 DAYS

For use as a spot or crack and crevice treatment to control spiders and cockroaches. General Information: Permethrin is a synthetic version of pyrethrins. Pyrethrins have long been known for rapid knockdown of insects. Although permethrin is more stable than pyrethrins, it is still degraded by the ultraviolet rays of the sun. This results in a relatively short residual life in the presence of sunlight. When protected from the sun, permethrin will provide residual/long lasting activity.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS: SHAKE CAN WELL BEFORE USING. Hold container approximately 30 cm from surface being sprayed and spray until wet. Thorough applications produce a coating which will vaporize into cracks and crevices for insect control. Treatment must only be repeated if pest problem persist or reoccurs. Unpainted or unsealed concrete surfaces may require repeated application after two weeks if necessary. Provide adequate ventilation after indoor use. Good sanitary practices should be maintained to prevent re- infestation.
