THIS IS A FLAKE TYPE PRODUCT THAT WORKS EXTREMELY WELL. TRAPS SHOULD BE PROPERLY WAXED WHEN USED WITH THIS ANTIFREEZE DUE TO IT'S CAUSTIC NATURE. CAN BE LAYERED WITH DRY DIRT AT THE SET, WITH A LIGHT SPRINKLING OVER THE TOP OF THE SET OR MIXED WITH DRY DIRT PRIOR TO MAKING THE SET. IT IS ACTIVATED BY MOISTURE, SO WHEN MIXED WITH DRY DIRT IT REMAINS INACTIVE UNTIL NEEDED.
