Because Spray Away™ detects heat, the sensitivity must be set higher in warmer temperatures. 
Please use the appropriate chart when temperatures reach 80 degrees F+.

Note:

in warmer temperatures, along with using higher sensitivity settings, the risk of false 

triggering is higher. The sensitivity should be turned down in the case of false triggers.
