2. Start heating transpiration
Once you have prepared in advance, use a fuming agent to start the heat transpiration in the following steps.
( If you want to see how to use this video → )
1. Fill the container with water up to the dotted line
Fill the plastic container with water up to the dotted line.
*Be careful not to add too much more than the dotted line. (This will cause poor evaporation.)
2. Take the can out of the aluminum bag
Open the aluminum bag inside the plastic container and take out the can as it is. (Do not remove the red sticker on the top of the can.)
*Please open the aluminum bag containing the drug can immediately before use.* If left unopened for a long time, the reaction will progress with moisture in the air and cause poor evaporation, so please use it immediately after opening.
3. Put a can in a plastic container and set it in the center of the room
Place a plastic container filled with water in the center of the room, place the can with the red seal facing up, and cover with a ring-shaped lid. Transpiration begins in about 1 minute.
[Caution] Do not touch the can as it will be hot after setting. Cool the can in about 30 minutes.
* Do not use fire such as matches.*Please be careful not to put it upside down. If you put it upside down in water, it will not evaporate. In addition, once it is soaked in water, it will not evaporate even if it is set in the correct orientation, so please be careful about the orientation.
4. Set the can, go out of the room and close the door
缶をセットしたら、部屋の外に出て戸を閉め切ってください。蒸散開始後、部屋に広がった白煙（蒸散成分）がすみずみまで広がり駆除効果を発揮するので、約2時間またはそれ以上部屋を閉め切ってください。ハエ・蚊には約30分またはそれ以上で効果がありますが、2時間以上経過してから入室してください。

- When using it, place one in each room, and simultaneous use of all rooms is effective. First, set the plastic container filled with water in each room, and then put the drug can on the water sequentially from the back room.
- It is effective to use it again after two to three weeks when cockroach eggs hatch.
3. After use
! caution!
After transpiration, you may feel a strong stimulus, so when ventilating, be sure to cover your mouth and nose with a towel to avoid inhaling the medicine when entering the room.
- After use, please ventilate well (about 1 hour) so that the smell is no longer bothering you.
- Vacuum lightly to remove small dead bugs.
- If the medicine is directly applied to the dishes etc, please use after washing with water.
- If your futon or clothing gets wet, brush it or dry it in the sun.
- After use, please dispose according to the method specified by each local government. The classification is as follows.
| Packaging material/Material name | Disposal classification |
|---|---|
| can | Incombustible |
| container | plastic containers and packaging |
| label | plastic containers and packaging |
| sticker | plastic containers and packaging |
| ring (lid) | plastic containers and packaging |

* No need to wipe clean.
*There is no need to wash the dishes that were covered.
* In rare cases, the ring-shaped lid may melt slightly due to heat, but it does not affect the quality such as safety and effectiveness.
※ When the drug evaporates, a solid, which looks like dissolved black as the rest of the drug, remains inside the can.
*After use, if the inside of the can is black as shown below, there is no problem.
(1) Before use: Remove the sticker on the top surface for easy identification.
② After use: If yellow grains remain, transpiration is not completed. It seems that there was a problem with the amount of water. Be sure to follow the amount of water used.
