Hi i bought the product and need to know when should i can apply this, before the light go on (how many hours before ) Or after the light are off ? Should i turn off the fan in the room and is okay if i spray with clear water after i Done the spray with the product pyrethrum ?
We would advise applying Pyrethrum 5EC just before your lights go out at half the recommended strength on the bottle (2ml per litre) It's fine to keep your fans on, & you can wash off with plain water a few days after the last application.

Can i use this product not only as a foliar spray but also as a soil drench? to kill thripes in my soil? can i use even during the middle or end of flowering? Also what preventative would u recommend from the start in order so that dont get these thripes again:) cheers mate
The Pyrethrum 5 EC can not be applied to the roots, it is to be used as a foliar spray only, it can be applied up to the last but one week. You can use Fungus Gnat Off as a preventative measure in the soil, or alternatively, spray a solution of Neem Repel around the edges or your growing area as a preventative measure.
