It's particularly useful for targeting the hidden spaces within furniture, walls, and baseboards. It is NOT recommended for use on carpets, fabrics, or as a primary solution for severe, widespread infestations without combining it with other treatment methods like sprays or traps. If you are looking for an immediate, broad-area spray or a product safe for direct application on pets, this powder may not be the best fit. Always follow application instructions carefully to avoid staining. ## How to use 1. Ensure the target areas (cracks, crevices, baseboards, bed frames) are clean and dry. Identify where pests are likely hiding or traveling. Do not use on carpets or fabrics. — Prepare for Application 2. Gently squeeze the bottle to apply a light, uniform layer of powder directly into the cracks and crevices. Alternatively, use a hand duster for precise application in hard-to-reach spots. — Apply the Powder 3. Apply along the full length of baseboards, around window and door frames, and within the joints and crevices of furniture like bed frames. Avoid creating thick piles of powder. — Ensure Proper Coverage 4. The powder provides up to 8 months of control. Reapply if pest activity returns or if the treated areas are disturbed. Keep treated areas inaccessible to children and pets. — Maintain Protection ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Active Ingredient | Deltamethrin 0.05% | | Other Ingredients | Inert ingredients | | Free From | Harsh chemicals (when used as directed), staining on non-fabric surfaces | | Directions | Apply lightly and uniformly into cracks and crevices where insects hide.
