Hot Shot Natural Flying Insect Killer aerosol mist spray contains lemongrass oil, a natural insecticide, to kill houseflies, mosquitoes, fruit flies, flying moths and other flying insects by contact. This formula has been tested to ensure effectiveness, and is safe to use around children and pets. The bottle features a convenient twist lock cap to guard against accidental drips and spills. Shake well before using. Direct spray at flying insects, contacting as many insects as possible. Spray in short, 2- to 3-second bursts Repeat as necessary, wiping away any excess product. Read the entire label before using and treat as directed. To prevent flying insects from entering your home, keep doors and windows closed and make sure window screens are in good condition. Outdoors, eliminate standing water – which mosquitoes need to reproduce – in flower pots, old tires, ornamental ponds, children's wading pools, buckets, pails, and low areas in the lawn and garden.
