Room Preparation

To ensure the thorough distribution of the spray mist, open cupboards, drawers and remove any items that might restrict natural airflow under beds, furniture and appliances.

Open drawers to allow insecticide mist to get in

Remove or cover exposed food, food utensils, pet bowls, fish tanks. Remove all pets and plants. Close outside doors and windows and turn off fans and air conditioners.

Important: Shut off all electrical appliances including lights and refrigerators. Extinguish pilot lights and naked flames. Turn off gaswater heaters.

Important: Do not use in spaces of volume smaller than 5 cubic metres.

Note regarding smoke alarms: As the use of the product may set-off smoke detectors, before setting off the fogger, either switch off or remove batteries from the detectors in the room to be treated or cover the detector to prevent aerosol particles contacting the sensor. Remember to switch the detector back on / remove the cover once treatment is complete and the room has been ventilated.

Activation

  1. Shake can well before use.
  2. Place the stability stand over the top of the aerosol and push down the can until it sits firmly at the base. Remove the cap and place the can and the stability stand on a sheet of newspaper on a raised area, such as a table or chair, in the centre of the room. For effective insect control use one can per average size room (4 x 4 metres).
  3. Tilt the can slightly away from face and push the activation tab down firmly until it locks into place. The can will begin to spray as soon as the tab is depressed. Make sure the tab is fully depressed and locked.
  4. Leave the room immediately after activation and close all doors.

Re-Entry

After 2 hours re-enter the room, open all doors and windows and allow treated area to air for 30 minutes before switching on appliances.

Wipe down all surfaces, sweep up all dead insects and dispose of in the garbage. Vacuum carpets to remove dead fleas.

Over the next few days as the mist continues to work in insect hiding places, more dead and affected insects may be seen. Vacuum carpets weekly to remove dead insects.

Other actions to prevent pest problems

The performance of all pest control products is always improved if their use is part of an integrated pest management (IPM) program, where other actions are taken to make conditions less conducive to pests. For pests inside the home, regular vacuuming, including under furniture and hard to reach places, as well as a good hygiene regime (keeping kitchen clean and tidy), will significant reduce the chances of a pest problem.

PestXpert Pro-Fogger will kill pests present in the room in the 2 hrs after applications. When you re-enter the room after this period, it is likely you will see dead insects, which can be vacuumed up. Insects in hiding in cracks and crevices in the room or insects that enter the room after treatment will pick up insecticide off the surfaces and die. The residual performance will keep preventing infestations for several months, for fleas infestations will be prevented for up to 6 month.

The PestXpert range has been specifically designed for use around homes, where there will be children and pets present. When used in accordance with the label, the products can be applied safely with minimal impact on the environment (see point 5 below). In fact, the professional quality packaging allows the products to be applied more safely that standard consumer products, as they can be applied more accurately with less chance of accidental contact with the insecticide.

Nevertheless, safety should always be the number one priority and so before carrying out any pesticide treatment follow the following key steps

  1. Read the label. Make sure you understand application instructions and safety information.
  2. Wear appropriate safety clothing. When using Pro-Fogger you may want to use gloves when starting the aerosol.
  3. Prepare the treatment area. Make sure all foods, food surfaces, cutlery, crockery and glasses are covered. The area to be treated should be clear of obstacles. Drawers and cupboard doors should be open and empty of belongings. Window and doors to the outside should be closed.
  4. Use the stabliser stand to prevent the can falling over after activation.
  5. Fish and bee alert. Although PestXpert products are designed to have minimal impact on the environment, they will kill bees (as they are insects) and fish are also very sensitive to the insecticides used in PestXpert (and most other consumer products). To protect fish, cover fish tanks and ponds and avoid spraying or disposing of product into waterways.
  6. Keep pets and children clear during application and until the treatment is dried
  7. Do not enter the room for 2 hours after treatment.
  8. BEFORE SETTING OFF FOGGER, SHUT OFF ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES INCLUDING LIGHTS AND REFRIGERATOR. EXTINGUISH PILOT LIGHTS AND NAKED FLAMES. TURN OFF GAS TO GAS WATER HEATERS. 
  9. Thoroughly wipe down any food surfaces after use.

If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 13 11 26; New Zealand 0800 764 766
