    I left it in for 12 hours before I removed it. Make sure you are using the correct amount. Also you will need 3 treatments at least.

    I think I am using the right dosage I estimated my system is 80 gallons and I am using the 10 lb dog interceptor. so if the 100 pound dog inter. is for 400 gallons, then the 10 lb inter. is for 40 gallons. So I used 2 10 lb dog pills. ALso in the 100 lb dog inter. it has23 mg of ingred. and in the 10 lb. has 2.3 mg of ingred. So I use 2 pills to treat 80 gallons.

    Is it normal for them to still be there in the 6th hour of treatment, even though there not moving. OR is this stuff not working?/ :(

    They are going to be there until the are removed. If they are not moving it is a good sign.
