To use Pivot Ultra Plus, we recommend gently shaking the can. Invert the can and apply at a rate of 15 oz (1 can) to 1965 ft2 (or 10 seconds per 80-100 ft2). For best results, hold the can approximately 24” away from the surface to be treated and apply using a sweeping motion. Work towards the exit and back away from the treated area. Use as a crack & crevice, spot, or general surface application to listed areas.
"Use as a crack & crevice, spot, or general surface application"
When treating upholstered furniture, be sure to treat under cushions and in seams and folds and to invert furniture if necessary.
Remember, fleas are extremely adaptable insects and flea populations can exist inside homes for extended periods of time without a host animal due to the protective pupal stage.
