top

Application? (for Algon concentrate)
For best results choose a day when the surface to be treated is dry and rain is not expected. Dilute 1 part Algon to 3 parts water. Apply with either a garden sprayer on a droplet setting, soft broom or paintbrush wetting the surface evenly. n.b. A watering can may be used but it can be wasteful. Leave to dry; results will show in a few days.

What are the results?

Approximately one year; this depends on the absorbency of the material being treated, its location and the weather conditions.

What about my pets, pond fish and wildlife?
Algon is non-toxic and safe for pets, wildllife, horses and other animals. A small amount entering pond water will not harm fish or plant life; 
however, care should be taken to keep run-off to a minimum when working around ponds.

What about plants?
Algon will have a scorching effect on foliage/grass only where it makes contact; this will not harm the rest of the plant. Roots will not suffer from incidental run-off during application.
