FAQs
What types of insects does this spray kill?
This spray is effective against a wide variety of insects including bed bugs, moths, fleas, ants, silverfish, mites, cluster flies, and cockroaches.
How long does the growth regulator take to work?
The growth regulator works by preventing immature insects from maturing. While adult insects are killed on contact, the full effect on the life cycle may take days to weeks depending on the infestation level and insect reproductive cycle.
Can I use this spray on my pet's bedding?
Yes, it can be used on pet bedding, but ensure it is thoroughly dried before pets use it. Always follow safety precautions and ensure pets are not in the immediate area during application and drying.
Is it safe to use on my mattress?
Yes, it can be used on mattresses. Allow the mattress to dry completely before using it. For very sensitive individuals or materials, test in an inconspicuous area first.
How often should I apply the spray?
For initial treatment, apply as needed to visible pests or infested areas. For ongoing prevention, follow the directions on the product label, which may suggest periodic reapplication, especially in areas prone to re-infestation.
Do I need to vacate the premises while using this product?
It is recommended to ensure good ventilation during and after application. Keep children and pets out of the treated area until it is dry and aired out.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Please refer to the manufacturing date or expiration date printed on the can for the most accurate shelf life information. Store as recommended to maintain efficacy.
Troubleshooting
Spray not dispensing
Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. If blocked, gently clear with a pin. Check that the can is properly secured to the sprayer if applicable.
Pests reappear after application
Repeat application as directed, focusing on all potential hiding spots. Ensure the growth regulator has had time to affect the insect life cycle. Check for new entry points or re-infestation sources.
Unpleasant odor persists
Ensure the treated area is thoroughly ventilated. The odor should dissipate as the spray dries and the area is aired out.
Surface discoloration or damage
Stop use immediately on the affected surface. Refer to the compatibility section and ensure testing was done prior to application. Clean the affected area according to fabric care instructions.
