Please keep your favorite "helpers" (children and pets) out of the area while spraying and afterward until the spray has fully dried (usually 1-2 hours).
To help protect our lovely pollinators, avoid spraying near flowering or pollen-producing plants.
Before you start, we recommend testing out the band and wand with just water. Twist nozzle to adjust stream.
The stream spray is best for: Under and around appliances
The barrier spray is best for: Barrier/perimeter of home, around doors & windows
The mist spray is best for: Baseboards
Select if you received Riddy Pro or Riddy Green below:
Fill the Riddy bag all the way to the fill line and then insert the tube and cap assembly in the bag. Close tightly and shake the bag again to mix the product.
Spray the perimeter of your home by standing about 2-3 feet away from your home's foundation to lightly apply the spray in a 4 foot wide band, extending 2 feet up the wall and 2 feet out on the ground. You do not need to soak surfaces, just a light mist will do the job.
Spray around the edges of porches, decks, patios, and even inside the garage if you are seeing activity. While it won't hurt anything, spraying out in your yard doesn't help protect the perimeter of your home.
Spray possible entry points like piping, around the AC unit, and/or crawlspace entrances. Think like a bug while spraying to find and cover all entry points!
In addition to your home’s foundation, be sure to spray around windows (avoiding the glass), doors, garage openings, and eves.
In warmer weather or if you are seeing increased activity, we recommend spraying indoors as well. Along the baseboards, spray every 2 feet and spray under and around appliances. Don’t forget to spray around windows (avoiding the glass) and doors as well.
Pro Tip: Use the mist spray setting on your wand for baseboards, stream setting for under and around appliances, and barrier setting for around doors and windows.
If you have leftover mixture, reapply outside and in areas of high activity. Don’t let any go to waste!
After all mixture is used, run about 15-20 seconds of clean water through your wand to ensure no residual mixture is left inside. You can then dispose of your application bag, gloves and empty insecticide package (keep your wand).
Keep pets and children away from all areas until the application is dry. This usually takes 1-2 hours.
We realize it's hard to completely keep all bugs out, so we have you covered between applications with your Riddy aerosol.
Pro Tip: Always read instructions or contact our Riddy Experts if you have any questions about applying the Riddy aerosol spray.
Each shipment comes with insect monitoring traps that can be used to monitor your results and find areas that need more attention.
Tear the sheet into three separate traps.
Fold the trap along the folds with the text facing the outside.
The "Show Us Your Pest" side of the trap with the tab should be on top of the "Riddy Insect Trap" side.
Remove the interior sticker to expose the adhesive, and place in your desired location.
