How to Use Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield

Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield is designed to help control fleas, ticks and mosquitoes around lawns, landscaping and other appropriate outdoor areas. For the best results, focus on the places where these pests are most likely to live, hide and rest rather than simply treating the open center of your lawn.

Always read the product label before application and follow all directions for use.

Step 1: Prepare Your Yard

Before applying Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield, basic yard maintenance can help make treatment more effective.

Consider:

• Mowing overgrown grass

• Removing excessive leaf litter

• Clearing unnecessary yard debris

• Trimming dense vegetation

• Eliminating standing water

These steps reduce some of the conditions that fleas, ticks and mosquitoes prefer.

Step 2: Identify Pest-Prone Areas

Different pests tend to concentrate in different parts of the yard.

For fleas, pay particular attention to shaded areas where pets or wildlife spend time.

For ticks, inspect tall grass, shrubs, leaf litter, fence lines and wooded edges.

For mosquitoes, look around shrubs, shaded landscaping and other protected resting areas. Also remove unnecessary standing water where mosquitoes may breed.

Step 3: Apply Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield

Apply Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield according to the product label directions.

Depending on the approved uses on the label, appropriate treatment areas may include:

• Lawns and grass

• Landscaping

• Shrubs and bushes

• Around trees

• Fence lines

• Yard edges

• Around patios and decks

• Pet activity areas

• Other outdoor pest-prone locations

Apply the product evenly and use only the amount directed on the label.

Where Should You Focus the Spray?

Don't overlook the shaded and protected portions of your property.

Important areas may include:

• Under and around shrubs

• Along fences

• Around trees

• Shaded grass

• Landscaping beds

• Around decks and patios

• Areas where pets spend time

• Areas where wildlife travels

• Boundaries between lawns and wooded areas

These locations can provide better habitat for fleas, ticks and mosquitoes than sunny, exposed sections of the lawn.

Can You Use It Around Pets?

If pets use the treated yard, follow all label directions regarding application and when animals may return to treated areas.

Never apply a yard treatment directly to your dog, cat or other animal unless the product is specifically labeled for direct application to animals.

For recurring flea or tick problems, speak with your veterinarian about appropriate flea and tick protection for your pets.

What Should You Do After Spraying?

Allow the product to remain on the treated areas according to the label directions.

Follow all instructions regarding:

• Drying time

• Rainfall

• Watering

• People entering the treated area

• Pets returning to the treated area

Avoid watering or disturbing freshly treated areas unless directed by the product instructions.

How Often Should You Apply It?

Follow the Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield label for reapplication frequency.

Outdoor pest pressure can change depending on rainfall, temperature, vegetation growth, wildlife activity and the time of year.

Don't apply more product or spray more frequently than directed.

Keep Up With Yard Maintenance

For longer-term control, combine appropriate treatment with regular yard maintenance.

Continue to:

• Mow the lawn

• Remove leaves and debris

• Trim shrubs and vegetation

• Eliminate standing water

• Keep gutters clear

• Maintain pet areas

• Monitor pest-prone areas

Treating the environment and reducing favorable pest habitat provides a more complete approach than spraying alone.
