Protect Your Home From Ants & Cockroaches: DIY use is quick and easy. Simply remove the outer plastic wrapper and place the Stay Away pouch in areas you want to keep free of these household pests. The pouches are made with plant-based ingredients that provide continuous protection for 30 days. Do not place directly on furniture or finished surfaces as product may stain. Where to Use: Anywhere ants and roaches go to find food, or areas you've noticed signs of pest activity: bathrooms, pantries, cupboards, kitchens, countertops, basements, windowsills, baseboards, or places you would like to prevent them from entering. How it Works: Ants are very particular about the foods they collect and carry back to their colonies. Stay Away Ants & Cockroaches pouches, placed where food particles are present, keep them out of the treated area by emitting a scent pleasant to people, but offensive to super-sensitive insects. For Current Infestations: Place 1 pouch per 25 sq ft in areas where you have seen pests. For Cockroach and Ant Prevention: Place 1 pouch per 125 sq ft in areas you want to keep pest-free. Replace after 30 days or when scent diminishes. Get More From 1 Pouch: Make this product last 3 times longer by placing pouches in an EarthKind Pouch Pod. The bio-based protective pod is stylish, discreet, and protects your Stay Away pouches from curious pets and kids.
