For indoor use, avoid spraying Essential IC Pro directly on houseplants, and always cover pools, aquariums, or other water features before application. When applying outdoors, dilute between 1 and 8 fluid ounces of product per gallon of water—use the higher rate for active infestations and the lower rate for regular maintenance. Apply the diluted solution using a compressed air sprayer or power sprayer at a coverage rate of approximately 2 gallons per 1,000 square feet to ensure thorough, effective treatment.
