How to use dinotefuran-containing household insecticide spray against flies?

How to use dinotefuran-containing household insecticide spray against flies? Dinotefuran-containing sprays are highly effective against flies. Unlike mosquito coils or aerosol sprays, they are used for "residual spraying" — applied to surfaces to form a film that kills flies upon contact.

Dinotefuran spray vs. traditional fly insecticides

  • Traditional aerosols: sprayed directly at flies; you need to see the fly to spray; effectiveness lasts only minutes.
  • Dinotefuran residual spray: applied to surfaces where flies rest; once dry, it forms an invisible film; flies die upon landing; residual effect lasts 2-4 weeks.

Correct usage of dinotefuran spray against flies

  1. Identify fly resting spots:
  • Window frames and screens — flies rest here while waiting to enter.
  • Light fixtures and around ceiling lamps — flies are phototactic and gather near lights in the evening.
  • High walls — flies prefer resting above 1.5 meters.
  • Garbage bin lids and surrounds — flies land here first when attracted by odors.
  • Door frames and lintels — above the entrance.
  1. Spraying method:
  • Hold the nozzle 20-30 cm from the surface; spray evenly until slightly damp.
  • Do not over-apply; an even coating is sufficient.
  • Once dry, the residue is colorless and odorless, preserving aesthetics.
  1. Timing:
  • Spray regularly during fly season (spring and summer).
  • Treat key areas immediately when flies are found indoors.

Precautions

  • This is a contact insecticide, not a repellent. Flies will not avoid it and will land on treated surfaces.
  • Do not spray on food, utensils, or countertops.
  • Keep pets and children away during application; allow to dry completely before normal activities.
  • Reapply on screens after rain.
