Troubleshooting
Spray is not dispensing
Ensure the trigger mechanism is properly engaged. Check if the spray nozzle is blocked; if so, clean it with water. Make sure the dip tube is submerged in the liquid.
Pests persist after application
Ensure thorough coverage of the affected plant areas. Reapply if rain has occurred shortly after the initial application. Check if the pests are reaching the plants via alternative routes not covered by the spray.
