Six Feet Under: Holiday FAQsUpdated 8 months ago
Is Six Feet Under, Holiday safe for kids, pets and plants?
YES! All of Dr Killigan's products are naturally non-toxic, and harmless when used as directed* around food, pets and children.
While our traditional Six Feet Under spray is not recommended for use with plants, this formula is specifically designed to be used on Christmas trees and other holiday foliage, so we've made it plant-safe. If you have any concerns, feel free to spot-test a small portion of the plant, before using more liberally.
*Please note that this spray is NOT intended for direct application on skin. The formula may cause some irritation to a pet's or a small child's delicate skin, so we strongly advise you not spray it directly on your child's skin, or on pets.
*Please note: While this product is not toxic, some of the oils have proven to be irritating to some pets. And just like humans, our furry and feathered friends can have their own sensitivities and allergies. Please consult your vet if you have any questions or concerns about best practice.
What is the shelf life of the Six Feet Under Holiday spray?
Six Feet Under has a two-year shelf life when stored as directed in a cool, dark place. Check the product box and insert for more details.
Does Six Feet Under, Holiday kill on contact?
Six Feet Under, Holiday is a great two-edged sword against bugs: it kills on contact, and keeps unwanted critters away for up to 30 days!
To kill on contact, use the spray function to aim and shoot from up to several feet away.
The amount of time it takes for an insect to die will depend on the species of insect. Some, like sugar ants, will die almost instantly whereas cockroaches can take up to a minute to die, because of their hard protective exterior.*
To prevent keep bugs away from a particular area, use the mist function on porous surfaces to repel bugs for up to 30 days. We recommend targeting areas where insects may be entering your home, such as around baseboards, door and window frames, and in pantry cracks and crevices.
*Please note: spiders are not insects. Due to their physiological design, Six Feet Under is not as effective on spiders and other arachnids. It can take up to 10 minutes to affect some species.
What's the difference between Six Feet Under, and Six Feet Under Holiday?
Our Limited Edition Holiday version of the Six Feet Under spray is very similar to our standard one.
The differences?
- Scent - Dr Killigan has created this spray to add to your home's festive feeling. The Evergreen fragrance will enhance your Christmas Tree's natural aroma, while ensuring no critters are lurking within it.
