A word of caution, I had some of this power force product and decided to spray some in the kitchen trash that had some maggots in it. We've had a huge fly problem the last month or so and one day of not taking out the trash resulted in maggots which freaked my wife out. Any way I took the inside part of the trash container outside and sprayed them them with the power force, the fumes came back up at me and I instantly began vomiting. I'd suggest wearing a chemical respirator before working with it.
