FAQs
Can I use this around my pets?
You should keep pets away from the area during and immediately after application until the powder has settled and is not accessible to them.
Is it safe for kitchen use?
No, this product must be kept away from all food preparation surfaces and storage areas to avoid contamination.
How long does the effect last?
When applied correctly and left undisturbed, the powder can provide protection for up to six months.
Will this kill wasps?
Yes, it is effective against wasps, especially when applied at their nest entrances.
Is it safe to use near a fish pond?

Troubleshooting
Powder is not killing insects immediately
Ensure the insects are actually traversing the treated area. The powder must be contacted by the insect to be effective.
Powder is washing away outdoors
Reapply after heavy rain or damp conditions as moisture can reduce the efficacy of the powder barrier.
Visible dust in living areas
Use a finer, lighter dusting. Excessive amounts are not necessary and can lead to airborne particles; a thin film is sufficient for control.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply, simply shake the container to distribute the powder evenly and puff a light dusting over the target area. Always prioritize safety by wearing gloves during application and ensuring the powder is not inhaled.
Compatibility is broad across standard home surfaces like concrete, brick, and wood; however, avoid contact with carpets, upholstery, and linens, as the powder may stain or be difficult to remove. Store the product in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place out of reach of children and pets. Always check the label for specific environmental warnings, particularly regarding proximity to ponds or water sources, due to the product's high toxicity to aquatic life.
