Apply lightly and uniformly with a hand duster or other suitable means to areas where insects are present, especially to cracks and crevices. The amount of product to be applied will vary with the site but should usually be in the range of 1 – 5 oz. per 100 square feet (or mix one to two tablespoons per gallon of water). This will not harm birds or earthworms.
