    Q
    I live in western NY and have a problem with larder beetles. What product would I use against these pests?
    They are mostly in my kitchen in one location, but we've been finding them in the basement now.
    A
    Larder beetles attack all products of animal origin, including feathers, horn, skins, ham, bacon, dried beef, hides, hair, beeswax, and similar products. You must completely clean out the infested cabinets, discard any infested food products and thoroughly vacuum all of the cracks and crevices where larvae may hide. Next you can apply a product called D-Force HPX. According to the D-Force HPX product label: Remove all food-stuffs, utensils and shelf paper from area to be treated. Discard used shelf paper and any infested foodstuffs. Apply spray to shelves and in cracks and crevices behind and under cupboards and cabinets. Allow spray to dry prior to replacement of shelf paper, food and utensils.

    Q
    What is a good product similar to D-Force HPX for total spider elimination?
    I have used D-Force HPX to kill spiders on contact and in our cars (around tire wells, in the trunks and around the doors). I have a serious brown widow problem that is getting worse each week. They are outside our house and inside our 1200 square foot shop. I have used D-Force HPX with great success when I hit the spider directly. Is there a product that works this good, but that will cover the entire shop and isn't so expensive for such a large area. How can I kill them without spraying them direcly? I have noticed that if the spiders do not crawl across any chemicals they will not die. I have used spray foggers to no avail and just sprayed inside and outside the house and shop with Cyonara too. Any suggestions?
    A
    Demon WP is a great choice for spider control. Demon WP is a wettable powder that is diluted in water, and then sprayed around door frames, window frames, in areas where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into a structure, around the bottom of the foundation and other area where insects are known to harbor. Demon WP will also eliminate the other insects in the area which in turn will help discourage other spiders from moving in since they will not have a food source to rely on.  Demon WP can leave a white powdery residue on dark surfaces. If the powdery residue is a concern you can choose a micro-encapsulated product such as Onslaught.

    Q
    Can I clean after using D-Force HPX?
    I'm moving into a new apartment, which is vacant. I wanted to use D-Force HPX everywhere. Can I clean the next day, or will that take away the products strength?
    A
    Spray D-force HPX directly into cracks and crevices, instead of on surfaces. Not only is this the correct way to apply the product, but it also protects the product from being washed away during cleaning.

    Q
    How do I get rid of cave crickets?
    I've applied Niban around my basement apartment twice this summer. While it works great at first, the cave crickets always seem to come back. It's a huge problem and I can't figure out how to get rid of them for good. I find them in every single room of my apartment. Glue traps are not enough. Please help!
    A
    Getting rid of crickets that have already found harborage indoors can be tough. We recommend that you spray a good residual product such as D-force HPX aerosol around your baseboards, window frames, door frames, places where cables pipes and wires may enter into the structure and other places where crickets may enter or harbor within the structure. Since you live in a state that heavily restricts most insecticides, you are very limited on what you can purchase to use outdoors for barrier control. Niban does do a good job, but it must be re-applied after heavy rainfall to remain effective.

    Q
    Furniture Beetles in Kitchen Pantry
    We found some furniture beetles inside an opened bag of old cat food. They were boring through the pellets. I looked thoroughly for other damage and found approx 30 beetle holes in the drywall ceiling of the pantry. No other damage anywhere in the house. What product(s) or suggestions would you recommend?
    A
    We would recommend using D-Force HPX in the pantry.  You should apply the product in all cracks and crevices around baseboards and on on the edges of shelves in the pantry.  Then, you should treat inside the holes in the drywall that the beetles bored.  Also, you should obviously discard of any food that was contaminated from the beetles.

    Q
    To protect against Waterbug appearance in the summer, can D-Force HPX be sprayed outside around the home?
    If not, what is recommended, and all products need to be safe for cats.
    A
    D-Force HPX is a great product for waterbug control. It comes ready-to-use, no mixing required. D-Force HPX is safe for use around cats, but the cats need to be out of the area when the application is made and they can return as soon as the application is dry

    Q
    Does D-Force Aerosol help with pantry moths?
    A

    D-Force Aerosol does a great job helping to get rid of pantry moths. D-Force Aerosol contains the active ingredient Deltamethrin and offers both knockdown and residual control of pantry pests and a wide variety of other crawling and flying pests for up to 8 weeks. We would recommend using our Pantry Pest Kit. This complete Pantry Pest Kit includes six Pro-Pest Pheronet traps for catching pantry moths and beetles, plus a 14 oz. can of D-Force Residual Aerosol with a crevice tool (straw) for spraying in cracks and crevices around shelves and walls to kill pantry pest larvae in harborage areas.

    Q
    Which product is better for roaches D-Force or Cy Kick Aerosol?
    A

    Both products are labeled for roaches and will leave a residual after application. The D-Force HPX will last approximately eight weeks. Cy-Kick Aerosol will leave a residual of about 30 days. We would not recommend this being the only product you are using when you are doing a roach treatment. Please be sure to take a look at our Roach Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent roaches in the future.

    Q
    What is the best aerosol treatment for clover mites, both indoor and outdoor?
    We have a large number of clover mites. Have treated outside with Bifen IT as well as an exterminator. Nothing seems to be working other than baby powder in windows. Still not 100% effective control though.
    A
    There are some great professional strength aerosols that are labeled for clover mites including D-Force HPX. It can be applied once every 8 weeks. We do recommend Bifen IT for outside application once every 4 weeks. We do not recommend applying baby powder for treatment. Please let us know if you need anything else.

    Q
    Is D-force better than Cy-kick for cigarette beetles and pantry moths? Which one has longer residual and less
    Is D-force better than Cy-kick for cigarette beetles and pantry moths? Which one has longer residual and less odor?
    A
    We would recommend using D-Force because it is labeled specifically for the cigarette beetles and panty moths. The residual is up to 8 weeks, and the it kills on contact. Use indoors as a spot or crack and crevice treatment, or outdoors for perimeter pests, as a spot treatment, or for surface applications for flying or crawling pests. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    What product will kill carpet beetles but will be safe around animals?
    A
    The majority of the products on our website are safe for use around animals when they are used as directed on the product label. D Force HPX will work very well to eliminate the beetles that actually crawl over treated areas. When dealing with carpet beetles, it is very important to find and remove the source of the beetles to get rid of them for good. To learn more about carpet beetle elimination please take a few minutes to read our article: Carpet Beetle Pest Control.

    Q
    Will D-Force Insecticide work on bagworms?
    A

    D-Force Insecticide does not list bagworms on the label as controlled but if they are sprayed directly it could kill them before they form the bag.  Talstar P is the #1 recommended product for bagworm control.  You will need to use 1 oz. of Talstar per gallon of water.  Applications should start in April and continue monthly through June before they have formed the bag. Be sure foliage is sprayed thoroughly to the point of runoff to achieve adequate coverage.  Talstar can be applied with a hose end sprayer, but it is best to use a hand pump sprayer if possible to ensure the most even coverage.

    Q
    Does D-Force work for Carpenter bee holes in wood and what would you recommend for knocking down the male bee?
    A
    D-Force HPX will eliminate carpenter bees in their holes. D-Force HPX does not offer an instant knockdown and the bee will die within a few hours of contact. We recommend that you use a concentrated liquid insecticide such as Equil Lambda 9.7 on the exterior of your home to eliminate any other carpenter bees that may fly into the area in search of a place to drill a hole. By spraying the wood you would help prevent furture damage from carpenter bees. The male carpenter bees do not cause damage and they cannot sting but they will be eliminated if they land on any treated area.

    Q
    Can we use D-Force HPX to kill bed bugs while traveling?
    We'll be doing extensive travelling in Europe, frequenting different hotels and hostels as we go. Not all accommodations are well reviewed and we don't know of a website that tracks bed bug infestations in the countries we're going to. We are looking for a product that will kill bed bugs on contact and will offer us some protection for at least two or three days before we move on. Would you recommend D-Force HPX for this, or another product?
    A
    You can use D-Force HPX when traveling to help with bedbugs but you should not rely on the product as your only defense. D-Force HPX, like most other insecticides, takes time to kill off bedbugs that contact treated areas and will not be able to prevent 100% of bedbug bites. Bedbugs that are sprayed directly should die within a very short amount of time. You should thoroughly inspect each place you will be staying for bedbugs or evidence of bedbugs. If you do see a current infestation you should ask to be put in a different room or stay in a different hotel. Please take a few minutes to read our article How to Avoid Bedbugs in Hotels.

    Q
    Should I wash D-force out of my cabinets before putting dishes back in?
    My kitchen has been sprayed 3 times. It was last sprayed a week ago. Is it okay to wash out my drawers before putting things back in or should I put them in on top of the spray residue?
    A

    You can wash the D-Force off the cabinets, but you will lose the effectiveness.  Keep in mind that it should only be applied once every 8 weeks for control of listed pests.
