Instructions for use
For paint-on application: Dilute the granular product according to instructions on packaging with lukewarm water.
200 grams of product should be diluted to 160 ml of water until a brushable liquid is created. This will yield enough material to treat 160- 240 m2 of wall/ ceiling surface with paint- on application.
Apply by painting strips dimensioned about 10x 30 cm on areas frequented by flies. Such areas can be warm surfaces or surfaces exposed to the sun and windowsills. Do not apply on surfaces used for preparation of food or surfaces that can be touched by children. Apply at least 30 strips per area treated.
If application on walls is not possible, the substance can be painted on pieces of cardboard dimensioned about 10x 30 cm that can be hung from the ceiling.
Surfaces on which product has been applied have to be protected from rain and water in general.

Before applying, clean surfaces thoroughly. Applying the product on surfaces that are dirty, very porous or recently whitewashed will reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
