HOSE-END SPRAYER USE DIRECTIONS:

Mixing Instructions: Fill sprayer bottle halfway with water, then add 4 ounces of Durvet Permethrin 10% to spray bottle. Add water to fill the bottle. Shake well. Attach to the hose and follow these simple instructions:

1. Make sure the hose-end sprayer is firmly connected to the hose.
2. Make sure the sprayer is in the OFF position. Turn water supply on at the faucet. For best results, turn hose faucet to the maximum. Water pressure will build in the hose.

LAWNS:

Spray when pests first appear. For sod webworms, delay watering or mowing the treated area for 12 to 24 hours after treatment.

Spray grass starting at the edge of the lawn furthest from the faucet. Walk backward away from spray mist toward the faucet. This avoids contact of shoes and hose with treated grass. Always point sprayer away from the body. Use when wind is calm to avoid splashback. Do not spray on a windy day. Sweep sprayer left and right to ensure even coverage. Apply entire contents evenly over 1,000 sq. ft. of lawn.

To stop spraying, turn the control valve to the OFF position. Turn off water at the faucet. To relieve water pressure in the hose, turn control valve to the ON position before removing from the garden hose.
