Once OFF, the chemical's re-entry time period (REI) begins. The REI can be found on the
chemical's label and is generally 6 or more hours.

Checking for Results and Evaluating Coverage
If using liquid chemicals, checking for results is the only viable evaluation. If using wettable
powders, evaluate coverage by scattering clear cellophane sheets throughout the area in advance
of a treatment. Upon re-entry, examine the cellophane under light for differences in deposit
intensity.
