Directions specifies applying with the "shaker can packaging". What is that? Is that something to be purchased separately from the insect killer?

That is a device they must sell separately. I have been using a empty grated cheese plastic holder from grocery store. ( mark it for pesticides ) Since these are pellets one dose not want to dump them all in one place. When I see snail or slug damage I use the sprinkle feature on the grated cheese dispenser and sprinkle the border of my hostas or garden. One cane do the same thing using a spoon but it is a lot slower.

The top of the can has sprinkle holes. You just shake the container. Very easy

I really do not have a clue, other than it is inexpensive. I, personally, do not like this type of solution. You need to take yourself to a Sally's Beauty Supply and ask them for the powder that you sprinkle on roots. It is a bit costly ($25 for small size), BUT this is a miracle in a shaker...it starts with a "T"...name is escaping me at the moment.

It is just an insect killer that is formulated as granules to be spread with the Snap spreader. I purchased two bags for two reasons: low cost and ease of application. If you purchase this product, my recommendation is to spread it such that the granules are touching the border of your house - after application we had lots of insects in-house, because I didn't spread it in the landscaping beds that border the house. So that is probably a good sign that it is working (at least from a repellent standpoint). I have also noticed that it is more pleasant to sit outside and not have to deal with the bugs on the patio.

Cheryl, Plain old soap and water will do the trick. And I'd use a paper towel when doing the washing. As for detergent; nothing fancy is needed. The active in this bait is so mild and vulnerable any detergent will kill it and when mixed with water? The net result will dilute the bait to a harmless derivative that can safely be thrown away in the trash.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

I believe I've seen this addressed before. My best guess is that "Shaker" means the size of the container and the fact that it has handholds. We may need to get inventive here. I am going to either secure the inner seal to the container after punching well spaced holes into it, or put same said holes into the container lid itself to make it a true shaker (may need to loosen container contents a bit as you go). I will retain the inner seal to maintain as much of the moisture that is present (perhaps also placing plastic wrap over opening as well. I totally get your question, but believe we can make this work until they achieve a true shaker container. Hope this adaptation helps everyone. I believe I've seen this addressed before.

Its better used like moth balls, in enclosed areas. You might try fly paper, reflector tape, flashing led nite guard. Many on ---do it yourself pest control, very reasonable. Good luck.

Use a jar with a close-fitting cover. Add some water to the jar, then add the captan in the amount you need to use. Shake the jar, covered of course, vigorously. Then add the captan solution to the sprayer. Use this jar for captan only. Do not use it for food.

It's a powder, you mix a scoopful with 8 oz. of liquid in a shaker bottle. Probably best to use almond or coconut milk.

Do you mean "disperse?" I just pour some in it, screw the top back on & press down. It's kind of like an accordian so it puffs out though sometimes it gets stuck & I flip it upside down & then back upright & puff again. D.E. is thicker than baby powder, that's why it gets stuck. Don't breathe it though & don't put it near windowsills or an A/C where it could fly around. Make sure to use the correct gradeof D.E. (NOT pool grade which is toxic but D.E. made for pest control). I mainly used it in the floor boards & right in front of floor boards. Then when I vaccuumed I used a mask cuz I'm sure that stuff probably doesn't all get filtered in the vaccuum cleaner. I think I remember reading or hearing that it absorbs humidity so you have to renew every now & then. I think I did it once a week when I had bed bugs. Jeff White has a video on D.E. & he shows how to use it at bedbugcentral.com. It might even be on YouTube.

The product is labeled for Wasps, but as a residual treatment. Here's a link to a web page with the full label. Read the whole thing before using it, and follow the directions to a T: http://www.controlsolutionsinc.com/data/products/other/58_Cyper%20WP_Label.pdf If you're going to spray a busy nest, be careful. I don't know if it has the "knock-down" effect that sprays like RAID Wasp and Hornet Spray do (the oils mixed in with those canned sprays disable the wings). If you do use it on an active nest, have a clear path to run like %$&*! Here's part of the label concerning Wasps: "Bees, Flies, Mosquitoes and Wasps: Apply directly to walls, ceilings, window screens and other resting areas as a residual surface treatment. May be used inside residential buildings as well as in and around carports, garages and storage sheds; also see Outdoor Surface Use. Outdoor Surfaces: For control of ants, boxelder bugs, bees, centipedes, chiggers, chinch bugs, cockroaches, crickets, earwigs, firebrats, fleas, flies, millipedes, mites, mosquitoes, pillbugs, scorpions, silverfish, sowbugs, spiders, ticks, wasps, and other similar perimeter insect pests. Apply with either hand or power application equipment as a residual treatment to surfaces of buildings, porches, screens, window frames, eaves, patios, refuse dumps,garages and other similar areas where these pests are found. Also, may be used as a spot treatment for applications to lawns in landscaped areas in and around residential, commercial, institutional and industrial buildings, and similar areas where these insect pests are active.

If you order from their website and the trial sample they send a shaker with it. Otherwise you have to get one elsewhere. I just use a cup with a top and shake it that way. Like the kind that slimfast used to use. Have a lot of those left over.

buy a small $10.00 bellows duster here on amazon or at your local hardware store. put about 1/4 full in the duster. shake it up and turn the duster on it side so as not to squirt out a stream of powder. All you want is a fine puff of dust. use it around the legs of the bed and around base boards and dressers and chest of drawers. This works very well. I friend that works for a pest control company told me about this and It is the only thing I have tried that worked and this keeps on killing where liquid only kills on contact then evaporates. this also kills many other bugs as well. hopes this helps. remember just a fine puff of dust is all you want. Not a stream of white powder.

The label instructions read: "Sprinkle one teaspoon per 25 square feet or one tablespoon per 75 square feet (1/2 lb. per 2178 square feet) over the surface of the containerized water found around the home. MOSQUITO BITS should be applied uniformly. A seven to fourteen day interval between applications should be employed. Longer periods of mosquito suppression will be obtained with subsequent use of MOSQUITO BITS. MOSQUITO BITS can be applied to areas that contain aquatic life, fish and plants. Can be applied to areas used by or in contact with humans, animals, horses, livestock, pets, birds or wildlife. DO NOT APPLY TO finished, treated human drinking water sources." I have found the bits to be absolutely wonderful for ground that stays wet after it rains: flower pots, areas under overhanging bushes, or simply where the sun does not dry things quickly. If you have drainage ditches that do not keep standing water, but the soil stays wet for awhile, these are great. If you have a lot of land, the 20 lb. tubs are perfect for refilling the shaker container (30 oz.).

I bought only the liquid as I use a pump sprayer. I prefer the sprayer method as I can spray into cracks and under things more easily and dries in place. I found powders are harder to get into cracks or under things, drift around areas more and generally harder to apply safely, staying where I want it. I also consider the spray method safer with children/pets as less poison is in the open. Remember demon is a poison, so best to limit its exposed open area.

I'm. Sorry I bought this product so long ago. I know it didn't work for my problem. If they are insects I would buy the diatomaceous earth food grade. It cuts them in half if they walk through it. An it is safe if u breath it. But I wouldn't. I bought baby powder an took out the powder then put the dial.earth in the container. Then spread the. D. E. Where you need to. A little gos a long way. I had to move from where I was living to get rid of whatever it was. Compleat nightmare. Charlotte

Don't know about Shake Away. CONTINUE to put those simple mice traps inside where ever you see activity. BG
