How Does X-clude work?
The semi-permeable capsule wall protects the natural pyrethrum from air, light and other conditions that would otherwise break it down quickly. When the product is applied, the water around the capsules evaporates, allowing some of the active ingredient inside to diffuse through the capsule wall. This forms a thin coating of exposed pyrethrum ready to work. The microcaps easily adhere to the bodies of the targeted insects. When sprayed the microcapsules in 1600 X-clude Formula 2 are easily picked up or eaten by insects on leaf, soil surfaces, cracks and crevices etc.

How do you use it?
Indoors: You can spot spray pests as needed or use a s direct spray on floors, walls, behind shelves and drawers. For ants you spray at all points of entry, into nests and trails.

For flying insects it may be used indoors as fog spray. You use a 5-8 second spray for 1,000 cubic feet or 5-8 seconds per 100 square feet. You do need to leave the area for awhile after treating.

Outdoors: 1600 X-clude Formula 2 can be used to spray on screens, around doors and windows. Any place that pests can enter.

Plants, shrubs etc.: Apply when air is still. Use a slow sweeping motion holding the can 18-24 inches from the plant. Use only a light mist on foliage For best coverage, 1600 X-CLude Formula 2 should be sprayed directly and lightly above the plant, allowing the particles to fall into the foliage. Same thing for spraying underneath foliage. Let the spray drift up. Do NOT spray foliage directly. For rows of plants you would spray at the rate of 1 foot per second. Comes with complete application instructions.
