How do you use a PT 221L?

To effectively use a PT 221L Residual Insecticide, it is important to target areas where insects may be hiding or breeding. This can include cracks, crevices, void spaces, and other small openings. By injecting the insecticide directly into these areas, you can ensure that it reaches the insects and effectively eliminates them.

To begin, attach the 3-inch injector tip to the bottle of PT 221L. This tip is designed to fit into small openings and allow for precise application of the insecticide. Make sure the tip is securely attached before proceeding.

Next, identify the areas where insects are likely to be present. This can include cracks in walls, gaps in windows or doors, holes in furniture or appliances, and any other small openings where insects may seek shelter. Once you have identified these areas, you can begin the application process.

Insert the injector tip into the crack, crevice, or hole, ensuring that it reaches as deep into the space as possible. This will help ensure that the insecticide reaches the insects where they are hiding or breeding. Once the tip is inserted, release approximately one second of the PT 221L insecticide into the area. This amount should be sufficient to treat the space without wasting excess product.

Repeat this process for each crack, crevice, or void space that needs treatment. It is important to be thorough in your application to ensure that all potential hiding spots are covered. Take your time and ensure that you are properly treating each area.

After you have finished applying the PT 221L insecticide, it is important to allow it time to dry and take effect. This will vary depending on the specific product, so be sure to read and follow the instructions on the label. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that this insecticide is intended for use in indoor areas only and should not be used on outdoor surfaces or in areas where food is prepared or stored.

It is worth noting that the PT 221L insecticide is a residual insecticide, meaning that it has a long-lasting effect and continues to work even after it has dried. This can help provide extended protection against insects and prevent reinfestation.

In conclusion, to use a PT 221L Residual Insecticide, attach the injector tip, identify and treat cracks, crevices, and void spaces where insects may be hiding, and allow the product time to dry and take effect. By following these steps, you can effectively use the PT 221L insecticide to eliminate insects and prevent future infestations.
