BUGGSLAYER® Insecticide for Box Elder Bugs and Asian Lady Beetles is a concentrated residual insecticide you spray on and around your home to keep these home invading pests from entering. In the early spring and especially in the fall, they tend to cluster on the outside surfaces of buildings and foundations, looking for a crack or crevice to spend the winter. Mix this concentrate in your pump-up garden-type sprayer at 4 oz per gallon. By spraying a band about 3 feet out on the ground and 3 feet up, all around the foundation, you will prevent the vast majority of these bugs from hibernating in your outdoor walls. Also spray around any building penetrations like utility lines and window frames. This water-based formula is non-staining where water alone does not stain. It keeps on killing bugs after it is dry with a residual action that rain will not wash away. Spray this product around Labor Day and it will keep killing bugs through the fall until winter. It's also odorless and once dry you won't know it's there. It kills Asian lady beetles, ants, armyworms, box elder bugs, centipedes, chiggers, cockroaches, crickets, cutworms, earwigs, fire ants, fleas, flies, gnats, grasshoppers, mosquitoes, scorpions, silverfish, spiders, springtails, tent caterpillars, ticks plus many more (listed insects). See product label for additional pests, precautions and directions for use.
