    Q
    Do you use the whole gallon in one use or over a period of time with Orthene PCO Pellets?
    Do you spray the whole gallon in one application?
    A

    Whether or not you use the entire mixed solution of Orthene PCO Pellets will depend on the amount of area you are treating. If you have completed your entire treatment and you still have solution left over you will need to dispose of the remainder because after 24 hours it starts to lose its efficacy.

    The odor that the Orthene PCO Pellets has comes from its active ingredient Acephate, which is why the product is for outdoor use and is not to be used indoors. The indoor spray guidelines advise it should only be done by a pest control operator. You can try to rub the treated areas down with soap and water and let air out however we would recommended speaking with your Doctor on any precautions needed before re-entering the home.

    Please contact the manufacturer directly for more tips as well. Your Amvac representative can be reached at 1-888 GO AMVAC (1-888-462-6822) or visit www.amvac-chemical.com for more information.
