    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
    Can I use DForce with Nyguard plus?
    Have seen a moth and couple carpet beetles and was wondering if I can spray this and Nyguard Plus. If so, in what order should I do it? Thanks in advance!!
    A

    You should not spray both D-Force and NyGuard Plus to the same area for the same treatment. Nyguard Plus is an insecticide and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) in one product. D-Force is another insecticide, but it does not include the IGR. Multiple residual insecticides should not be applied on the same surface during the same treatment. You will need to wait until the residual breaks down to apply the other product.

    Please take a moment to look over our Carpet Beetle Control Guide for helpful tips and information on eradicating this pest. Do you know what type of moths you are targeting? Please feel free to contact us with any other questions or concerns.

    Q
    Will D-Force Insecticide 100% kill a deer tick that is hiding in my car???
    A

    D-Force Insecticide is labeled for use to control ticks and other listed insects in vehicles. You would apply as a spot or crack and crevice treatment only in areas such as door jams, under rugs, and under seats. This would kill ticks that you spray directly or which contact enough residual insecticide after you have sprayed. We recommend that you first clean out the car and vacuum it well before spraying. 

    We apologize but we cannot offer a guarantee on the products as we cannot guarantee that they will be used as directed. We do try to provide as much information as possible on what to expect and how to to use as well as what to do non chemically.  We do know they work and you can read previous customer reviews right on the product pages.

    Q
    Can D-Force Insecticide be used on grass to treat for spiders? Will this hurt rabbits that eat the grass?
    s.
    A

    D-Force Insecticide can only be used outdoors on the exterior surfaces of the structure. This can be used on outdoor surfaces such as screens, window frames, eaves, porches, patios, garages, etc. This cannot be used in lawns for insects. 

    For Spider control in lawns, we would recommend using a general purpose insecticide concentrate like Talstar P as a broadcast application to the lawn as well as treating bushes, trees, shrubs, etc. Talstar P is mixed at 0.5 to 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1000 sq ft. Please view the product label for more information.

    Q
    Can this product be used with Gentrol for cigarette beetles? If yes, which one is applied first?
    A
    Yes, D-Force HPX can be applied with Gentrol IGR. We would recommend using the Gentrol IGR first and letting it dry. The residual is 4 months with this product so you do not have to use this every time you are spraying for the cigarette beetles. D-Force HPX has a residual of up to 8 weeks. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    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
    Can I use D-Force HPX on the exterior of my car to treat for ants?
    My car (Subaru Forester) seems to attract ants. Other cars nearby will have not ants on them but mine will sometimes have hundreds. They're not trying to get inside. They are all over the outside. No particular place. I've searched all over the car and can find no nest. I've been through car washes. I've sprayed the tires and around in cracks with Specracide but it doesn't help. I remembered that I bought a can of Invader HPX from you a long time ago and pulled that out. It at least killed some along the back bumper. Help! I hate ants. I can't figure out why this is happening.
    A

    D-Force HPX would be an excellent option for ants in and around your vehicle. It does have a residual of 30 days.

    Q

    Hi, the can warns about getting the product on skin, in eyes or inhaling. Do I need a mask, goggles, gloves? We're fighting pantry moths in a walk in pantry.

    When applying D-Force it would be best to wear chemical resistant gloves, goggles, and a respirator mask if applying in areas with no ventilation.

    Q
    Does D-Force HPX work for millipedes?
    I think I have millipedes. They are around my basement baseboards and are black, thin worms about 1/2" long and usually found dead and curled into a coil. However, I can't see any legs on them so I wonder if they are really millipedes.
    A

    D-Force HPX is not specifically labeled for millipedes. You will want to make sure that this is the insect that you are treating for first. You can get a pest identification from your local cooperative extension office. We do carry products that can be applied to eradicate millipedes.

    Q
    Exterminator sprayed in cracks of pantry while food was still in there
    Our exterminator sprayed this in cracks and crevices of the pantry to kill pantry moths. However, the food was still on the shelves. While I know he didn't spray the food directly, wouldn't some of it get on the cans, boxes, etc? Do I have to get rid of this food? Wash shelves? Thanks.
    A
    While we cannot commment on what an Exterminator did, we can comment on the product. You want to be sure that all food and food handling products are removed before application.

  • Asked by Tim from Villa Park, Illinois

    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.
