Seal Cracks and Gaps : Use caulk or weatherstripping to block entry points for flies and cockroaches.
Dispose of Trash Properly : Keep garbage bins covered and take out the trash regularly to avoid attracting pests.
Reapply as Needed : The spray’s effects last for several days, but reapply weekly or after cleaning to maintain its potency.
