For a more comprehensive checklist, see Gen 1.3: Routine Service Checklist

1. Calculate required volume of concentrate.

Select a concentrate from the list of Gen 1.3: Approved Insecticides
Remove drum cover
Remove cap from drum bung
Use a yardstick to measure inches of remaining insecticide solution and note it.
Calculate required volume of concentrate and water (in inches from the bottom of the drum) using the Dosing and Days to Empty Calculator.
If you are using an approved concentrate other than ones presented in the calculator, you can find the information required by the calculator – the concentration of active ingredients in the formulation and target concentration in the mist – at Gen 1.3: Approved Insecticides.

2. Replenish drum with water and concentrate.

Fill the drum with a few inches of water from a garden hose, being careful to maintain an air gap of 6” between the tip of hose and the fluid in the drum.
Measure concentrate and use a funnel to add it through the bung.
Continue filling drum with water to the desired level – maintaining the 6″ air gap. To avoid foaming and possible equipment damage, stop filling when the fluid level is 4” from the top.
Replace cap on drum bung.
Ensure concentrate label in waterproof envelope is affixed to the side of the drum and visible
Dispose of the empty bottle, strictly following label instructions or regulations regarding disposal
