Heavy Infestation
Apply once a day for a heavy infestation and reduce applications to once every 3 days after infestation is controlled.
Light/Moderate Infestation
For a slight infestation, apply once every 2 or 3 days and reduce applications to once a week after infestation is controlled.
Preventative Maintenance

For best results, apply with an atomizer and allow time to dry before artificial lights come on, or before/after peak sun after spraying.
