This product does not guarantee that the spiders will be gone forever. The product will likely need to be reapplied for maintenance every 21 days.

Use up to 0.25-1.5 fl oz of product per 1000 sq ft of ground surface area, or up to 10-60 fl oz per acre. Use higher rates for heavy vegetation and/or when target insect populations are high. For best results, apply when insects are most active and when conditions are conducive to keeping the fog close to the ground.

EcoVia EC is labeled for treating springtails, and does not contain an Insect Growth Regulator. IGR's are not necessary when treating for springtails. Springtails indicate that there is a moisture issue because they breed in walls or under slabs where a moisture issue may exist. Typically, pesticides alone will not take care of a springtail problem. It is required to fix whatever moisture issue is causing the problem. You should read our How To Get Rid of Springtails article for further information.
EcoVia EC can be applied around cracks and crevices on the exterior including the window and door frames.
