It is packaged in a convenient “tip-and-measure” 1-gallon jug for quick and easy field measurements. When used as directed, the company says, Zone Out delivers 100 percent mosquito knockdown in less than 10 seconds and up to 100 percent kill within an hour after application. Zone Out also provides 100 percent knockdown of fleas in 20 minutes.
