You sprayed the garden and the bugs came back within a day — liquid spray runs off leaves in the first rain or irrigation cycle, leaving gaps in coverage where insects re-establish. Dust formulations cling to leaf surfaces and provide longer residual contact, especially on the undersides where insects feed. 1.75-lb shaker container — no mixing, no sprayer. Apply directly to vegetable gardens, flower beds, and ornamental plantings. Works by contact on listed insects and continues to work as a stomach poison for pests that crawl across treated surfaces. The dust particles adhere better than spray in wind and light rain conditions. Standard in the insect control program of Knox County gardeners and rural acreage owners who need something that stays where you put it — not something that washes Stocked at Crofton Lumber and Akron Lumber.
