CB-80 is a great option for knock down of flying insects. Without knowing what species of pest you are treating for or dealing with specifically, its hard to give accurate treatment information. We'd recommend looking at our Drain Fly Guide and our Fruit Fly Guide to determine which pest you are treating for, and to help locate and narrow down the primary areas/drains they are coming from in the home. The guides also go over step by step instructions for eliminating each pest, and have kits and product recommendations provided.

Keep the area closed for 15 minutes. Open and ventilate before reoccupying. Repeat treatment as necessary. CB-80 is a contact-kill aerosol that has a slightly repellent nature.
