QUESTION:
When doing a “spot” treatment how large can the “spot” be? How much area needs to be left between “spots”?

This is a darned good question and one that I do not have the complete answer for.

With the new labeling on all pyrethroid products this once again comes to light as important, although “spot treatment” has always been on product labels for many of their uses.
