The application is as simple as scooping and spreading, or, if you are distributing it from a shaker type canister, simply distribute over the area of contamination. The makeup of these minerals makes spreading with a shovel the simplest manner of application over a large area. It is not necessary to thoroughly blanket an area to benefit from the product because malodors are molecularly attracted to the mineral substance so if they are in proximity, the benefit will result and the odor will be gone. Though the longevity of effectiveness is directly proportionate to the type and concentration of the odor and moisture, it is not generally necessary to redistribute more often than once a week or even two weeks. If the previously distributed product is easy to recover, it can be used as a soil amendment and a source of nitrogen or ammonium sulfate if disked into fields where grain fields or gardens are grown. Mulch into the soil where an existing garden or crop exists or where you will be planting in the spring, the nitrogen adsorbed by the Eliminator will slowly release it to the roots of your crop supplying a fertilizer.
