So as you remember after using Dragnet for 25 years, the rate for permethrin is and always has been 0.5% solution. Except termites. And their label has said put […]
Read More »Okay, here’s the contest and it’s easy peasy as my Granddaughter says: The first person to accurately count the number of times “Toxic to Bees” appears on the NEW DRAGNET LABEL wins!
