Q

Does Bac-A-Zap come in a fogger?
We moved into a home and discovered a big mouse/rat infestation in the attic and in the basement ceiling tiles. The tiles smell of urine and some of the ceiling is drywall. I'm looking for a product to fog those areas we can not reach to clean. Also can I use your product on the ceiling tiles?

Q

Will this product also take dog urine stains out of carpet along with the odor?
I had a very lazy tenant. I evicted her for reasons other than this, but now have a problem with what was a wonderful carpet!!! She was only there for 5 months and the entire apartment reflects how lazy she was! Oh my! My main concern is the carpet though. I would like to save it. I have used Bac-a-Zap for cat urine odors, but for stains, no.

A

According to the manufacturer, Bac-A-Zap will not remove the actual urine stain, it will just help eliminate the smell of the urine.

Q

Is Bac-A-Zap Odor Eliminator safe to put on houseplants to kill fungus gnats?

Fungus gnats will commonly breed in the soil of house plants that may have too much moisture. Bac-A-Zap is labled for drain flys, phorid flys and fruit flys but it does not actually kill them, instead it has an enzyme that helps break down the organic matter that these flys breed in. This type…

Fungus gnats will commonly breed in the soil of house plants that may have too much moisture. Bac-A-Zap is labled for drain flys, phorid flys and fruit flys but it does not actually kill them, instead it has an enzyme that helps break down the organic matter that these flys breed in. This type of treatment will not work on fungus gnats. You should read our "Getting Rid of Gnats" article that explains how to treat fungus gnats. We recommend using Talstar P which can be sprayed directly on the soil to help control fungus gnats and we also recommend letting the soil dry out completely between waterings.

You cannot use Bac a Zap on your pets for any reason. However Bac A Zap can be used on pet resting areas and other areas of the home that tend to hold any pet odors. Please keep in mind, without getting rid of your dogs you will not be able to eliminate the normal smell that comes with having a pet. Per the Product Label WALLS, FLOORS & CARPETS: Begin by thoroughly cleaning areas with appropriate materials and methods. Spray BAC-AZAP on all surfaces where odors might originate including wall surfaces, floors and carpets. Apply at the rate of one (1) quart per one hundred (100) square feet of surface area (approximately three (3) fluid ounces per square yard). NOTE: Although BAC-AZAP is designed to be non-staining, always test surface for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area before treating entire surface.

Q

How long do I need to wait to return animals to a room after Bac-A-Zap Odor Eliminator has been applied with a fogger?
In spite of daily cleaning, odors accumulate in a room of foster cats. What precautions are needed after fogging before returning cats to the room? Does the floor or anything else have to be rinsed? How much time must elapse before cats can be returned to the room after fogging? The fogger is a Commander Tri-Jet.

Per the Bac-A-Zap Odor Eliminator label instructions, you will need to wait until the fog has dissipated completely before re-entry. We would also recommend that you clean the floors and wipe down other surfaces before returning the cats to the room.

We do have a concentrate called Odaway Odor Eliminator Concentrate that can be diluted in a sprayer bottle at a rate of 1:5 with water or added to cleaning or laundry, so that product may work better for you, depending on the type of machine that you have. We do recommend checking with the manufacturer of the machine for what type of products work best in it.
