FAQs
Is Home Defence Ant Stop safe for pets and children?
No, this product is not safe for direct contact with pets or children. Always apply in areas inaccessible to them and ensure treated surfaces are completely dry and aired out before pets or children are allowed back into the area. Always read and follow all safety instructions on the product label.
How often should I apply the spray?
The frequency of application depends on the severity of the infestation and environmental conditions. For specific guidance, always refer to the reapplication intervals stated on the product label. Generally, reapply as needed when pests are observed returning.
Can I use this product on plants or in a vegetable garden?
No, this product is not intended for use on plants, edible crops, or in vegetable gardens. It is designed for hard surfaces and areas in and around the home where pests are active. Avoid direct contact with foliage.
What pests does this spray kill?
The Home Defence Ant Stop Ultra Gun Spray is effective against ants, woodlice, earwigs, cockroaches, and fleas. It provides both contact kill and long-lasting protection against these specific pests.
How does the 'long-lasting protection' work?
The spray leaves a residual layer on treated surfaces. Pests that come into contact with this residue after it has dried will be affected, providing continued protection beyond the initial application. This helps prevent pests from returning to the treated areas.
Where are the best places to apply this spray?
For optimal results, apply the spray to pest trails, entry points (e.g., around windows, doors, cracks), behind appliances, under sinks, along skirting boards, and other areas where pests are seen or suspected to hide.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is blocked or not working.
Ensure the nozzle is twisted to the 'ON' position and any safety tab or clip is removed. Check the nozzle opening for any visible blockages and clear carefully if necessary. If the issue persists, ensure the bottle is upright during use.
Pests are still present after spraying.
Ensure you are applying the spray directly to the pests or their trails/entry points for contact kill. For residual protection, ensure the area is sufficiently damp. Reapply as per product instructions if the infestation persists, but do not exceed recommended frequency. Consider identifying and removing the source of the infestation if possible.
Product ran out too quickly.
This product is designed for spot treatment, not broad area application. Ensure you are targeting specific pest activity areas rather than spraying indiscriminately. A light, even mist is usually sufficient; avoid saturating surfaces excessively.
Strong odor after application.
Some odors are normal with pest control products. Ensure adequate ventilation in indoor treated areas by opening windows and doors. The odor should dissipate as the product dries.
