Bonide Systemic Insect Spray Ready-To-Spray can be applied on an as needed basis, with 10-14 day intervals between applications, not to exceed the maximum rate. Please review the full product label for complete application instructions.
The Bonide Systemic Insect Spray Ready-To-Spray bottle should have 2 moving parts, a knob control lever that is the on/off, and then there is a sprayer hood that has the fan/stream positions on it.
If you did not turn the knob to the on position, then you probably didn't spray any of the liquid out.
