Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the area is free from large debris or leaves. Connect the long hose trigger to the 5L bottle according to the included instructions. Apply the formula on a dry day to ensure it is not immediately diluted by rain. While the formula is biodegradable, avoid spraying directly onto prized flowers or sensitive lawn areas. No special protective gear is strictly required, but it is good practice to avoid contact with eyes and skin. Store the container in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use.
