How to treat each type of area 3

cracks, crevices, and voids

Apply by mist, foam or spray with equipment designed for void applications. Place the tip of the applicator at or into the crack or crevice to be treated. Apply product in short bursts while keeping tip in position. Allow the air stream to push insecticide deep into void(s). Apply in such a manner to limit dripping and runoff on structural surfaces and plants.
