1
Dress in waterpoof gloves, long pants, long shirt and boots. Malathion dust should not be allowed to come in to contact with human skin. It could cause skin irritation.
-
2
Measure your dog pen and yard in square feet. You will need this measurement in order to know how much malathion dust to spread out.
-
3
Sprinkle 1 pound of malathion dust over every 500 square feet of space in your dog pen and yard. If you have 1,000 square feet to cover, then you would need 2 pounds of malathion dust. You can use a hand rotary duster to make the job a little easier.
-
4
Wait a few hours for the malathion dust to settle before you allow your dog back out in the treated yard or dog pen.
-
5
Wash all clothing in hot water immediately after applying the malathion dust.
