FAQ
Household Pests
The product says it kills on contact, I sprayed your product on some insects but they kept crawling. Why?
“Kills on contact” does not mean an instant kill, it means that the insecticide has to come in direct contact to kill the insects, this can take a few minutes or a few hours. While the insecticide is being absorbed and taking effect the insect could go back to the nest and contact other insects, helping to kill off the entire nest.
