Spraying Residual Insecticides

  • Spray the outside of the structure with high-quality residual insecticides such as Avesta CS. Avesta CS is a micro encapsulated product that is odorless, will withstand high heat and adhere to surfaces well. One 8 oz bottle will provide 16 gallons of finished product. Spray around the perimeter with a band of 2-3 feet. You may spray inside as well, spraying along the baseboards and entry points. Repeat in three months.
