Many pest control companies around the country are discovering that all-natural granules are the answer to wet conditions caused by rain or snow since they are water-activated and long lasting.

2. Do I need to be concerned about run-off with all natural granules if it has just rained or snowed, or if precipitation is expected in the forecast?

When applying Nature-Cide Granular to listed sites according to label directions, run-off should not occur and should not be a concern.
