How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter the total square footage. Measure the area to be treated. For perimeter spray, calculate the band width times the perimeter length.

2. Select the treatment type. Each option pre-fills the typical coverage rate for that application. Choose "Custom Rate" to enter your own.

3. Enter cost per gallon. This gives you an estimated material cost for the job.

How the Coverage Formula Works

Gallons_Needed = Square_Footage x Coverage_Rate_Gal_Per_Sqft

The most common rate is 1 gallon per 10 square feet (0.1 gal/sqft) for standard perimeter and soil treatments. Spot treatments use less product per area, while heavy infestations require more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many gallons of spray do I need per square foot?
The most common rate for perimeter spray is 1 gallon per 10 square feet (0.1 gal/sqft). Spot treatments use about 1 gallon per 25 square feet (0.04 gal/sqft). Heavy infestations may require 1 gallon per 5 square feet (0.2 gal/sqft). Always check the product label for specific coverage rates.
How do I calculate spray coverage?
Multiply the total square footage to be treated by the coverage rate in gallons per square foot. For example, 2,000 sq ft of perimeter at 0.1 gal/sqft = 200 gallons of finished spray solution needed.
