Troubleshooting
Powder is clumping and not spreading evenly
The powder has likely absorbed moisture. Ensure the application area is dry and consider using a bulb duster to break up clumps during application.
Insects are avoiding the treated area
You may have applied the powder too thickly. Insects prefer to walk through a light dusting rather than climbing over large piles; use a duster to apply a thinner, more consistent layer.
