The ready-to-use formula spreads easily across soil, mulch, and turf and releases repellent vapors as it settles into the landscape. When applied according to directions, it helps establish a perimeter of protection without synthetic insecticides, making it a practical option for yards, outdoor entertaining areas, and animal enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these granules work to reduce mosquitoes in my yard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product disperses botanical actives into the immediate area after application.
