Because every hose-end sprayer is different, we cannot say specifically what setting you will need to use. The water is just acting as a carrier for the concentrate, so you should start with a low setting and see how much water you use to cover a small area and then adjust your settings accordingly. There is more detail in the chart of page 5 of the Sevin Concentrate product label.

Up to 85% of flies caught are female, which helps decrease the next generation of flies.
