I'm not sure, I only mix what I need for each application around my home. I have not texted the effectiveness of the product premixed if left in a container. I do not have the product label with me at the moment. I will check and if it states a time frame I will let you know.

Directions say to "wet and forget"---no hosing down. Directions also say it will take some time to work (2 or more weeks) Rain will not supposedly slow the process but obviously don't apply when rain is forecast for the day---or maybe shortly thereafter.

great question. I applied this product a day prior to a rain storm. after the rain storm I noticed that the rain did not dilute the effectiveness of this product. exactly a week later all my weeds r all brown and withered away

It depends on temp and humidity. IMHO waiting too long is worse then removing early. When too dry it's hard and takes a lot too remove. Too early and you're just moving it around. You'll know as you start removing it if you have to wait a little longer. Typical 80 degree day, I'd say less than an hour. Obtw I would not put on in direct sun unless I worked small sections at a time.

Try not to leave it out there when it is raining but if in case it does get wet, just leave it out until it dries before putting it away.

The rain will not hurt the product and depending of the amount of rain it may overflow or drain out the hole.

Best results with Micro-seal are always obtained when the surface is dry and there has been no rain for 48 hours. It will still work if the surface is damp BUT it will not absorb as much Micro-seal and therefore you will NOT get as good performance as you would with a dry surface. Recommend you wait.....

I would recommend that you not water for a day or so as the product softens when wet. I think you will find that it is very effective within the first 24-48 hours.

Dave, Since its unclear to me exactly what you mean, I'll provide a couple of answers and hopefully one will be spot on. So first, if you meant to ask how long will a treatment remain active following the application, the time range can vary quite a bit. For termites, it can last several years in the ground. And even that length can be variable depending on what % you apply. And even for topical treatments (foundations, lawns, baseboards), the same rules apply but in a smaller scale. So when applied at lower rates, one might get 3-4 weeks of residual. But at the stronger rate? 1-2 months. Again, these are just estimates because of variables like where you're applying it (inside vs outside), the impact of sunlight, the impact of rain, the impact of humidity, how many pests are in the environment, etc. Lastly, if you meant to ask how long will the product last in its concentrated form once a jug is opened, the answer is several years. Certainly 3-5 years but in most cases, you don't want to get an amount of product you don't expect to use in 5 years or less to insure it doesn't depreciate sitting on the shelf.

Yes. 0.5 of rain or irrigation within 3 days of application is required to activate the product. See "General Use and Precautions" on the label.

Typically about 1 hour depending on temperature and humidity. Apply VandlGuard between 40F - 100F.

I know it has been applied to surfaces that receive a lot of sun & therefore heats up & does not suffer ill effect- so it could be. But the product spray can itself would need to be kept from heat as usual.

Our product was dry after reasonably heavy rain. Hope that helps with your decision process !

Basically, as long it's wet, it will continue to work. It does lose some efficacy with time, so you want to mix it right before you use it, but you don't really need to worry about how long the process takes. As soon as it dries, though, the reaction stops.

Probably...I would wait until it is dry and see if you notice a difference. I used it in an area that was covered and noticed that it did work but eventually it did get rained on.

Yes, That is the best time to apply it. A heavy rain would not be good but a light rain is perfect application conditions. I have applied it in a light rain several times. In fact when the time of year is correct, I prefer to apply in a light rain
