    Q
    Can Equil Lambda 9.7 CS be used in a thermal fogger? If not, is there a reason why?
    My yard is 1.5 acres, abutted by forest on three sides. I'm looking to treat the tree line and my home borders with a fogger because of some significant brush and leafy/woody shrubs hosting wet areas underneath, and I think a fogger would permeate the dense material more effectively. But I've heard you maybe should not use this product with a thermal fogger. Is that true? Does it lose effectiveness, or does it present some other kind of risks (like aerosolizing too potent a hazardous chemical)?
    A

    Equil Lambda 9.7 CS is not labeled to be fogged. We do not know why the manufacturer did no test the product to be fogged. Keep in mind that generally fogging solutions cannot be used outdoors around homes & they do not leave a residual. They generally kill what is there in the moment & that's it. You would need to fog every time you see insects vs spraying leaves with Equil Lambda will have up to a 60-90 day residual

    Q
    Is Equil Lambda 9.7 CS a repellent? Can the bugs see it? Can it be used in a thermal fogger?
    A

    Equil Lambda 9.7 CS is not a true repellent meant to keep bugs away, bugs cannot see but can detect it and it cannot be used in a thermal fogger.  It is designed to provide a long residual to continue to kill insects that contact a treated surface.

    Q
    What setting would I use for a hose end sprayer with Equil Lambda?

    As long as you can thoroughly agitate the Equil Lambda 9.7 CS mixture, there should be no issue using 8 hours after mixing. Our rule of thumb is to use solution within 24 hours of mixing.

    Q
    Will Equil Lambda 9.7 CS work on German cockroaches?
    I live in a row home and I am noticing these roaches in my kitchen since my neighbor moved out. I was told that these are nasty little buggers and that German cockroaches are different then other roaches in the sense that they are harder to kill. So will Equil Lambda 9.7 CS work?
    A

    Equil Lambda 9.7 CS is labeled for roaches. We would also recommend using an insect growth regulator, such as Gentrol IGR, and a bait gel, such as Maxforce FC Magnum, in conjunction with this product. Using just an insecticide alone will not take care of a roach infestation. Make sure you do not spray the bait because this will contaminate it and the roaches will not consume it.

    Also, please check out our Roach Guide for information on how to get rid of roaches and prevent them as well.

    Q
    What is the best time to spray Equil Lambda 9.7 CS in my yard, day or night?
    I just bought a Stihl SR 200 sprayer and a bottle of Equil Lambda. My yard is about 3/4 acre of grass and an inground pool area. The perimeter is all heavily wooded. When is the best time to spray? At night or in the day?
    A

    We advise to do any insecticide spray applications with the Equil Lambda 9.7 CS within the early morning or late evening during the cooling hours of the day so that the product can dry and settle into the area without affecting the chemicals in the product for the best result. You should avoid spraying in an area where the direct or overspray would contaminate the pool.

  • Asked by Clark from Bemidji Mn

    Q
    anything overall better than Tempo SC for mosquito control (combined effectiveness and longevity)
    Not concerned with larval control - only adult mosquito. Tempo has always done an exxcellent job regarding combined kill, repellancy and longevity - and relatvie human safety. Just wontering if any newer products might be even better.
    A
    Micro-encapsulated insecticides tend to last longer outdoors that suspended concentrates and for that reason a product like Equil Lambda 9.7 CS would be a great upgrade. Equil Lambda features EnduraCap technology which protects the active ingredient in even the toughest environments, allowing Lambda 9.7 to continue killing pests long after you've sprayed.  Plus, the advanced EnduraCap technology protects the active ingredient from heat and harsh UV rays when sprayed outdoors.

  • Asked by Robbie from Baton Rouge, La
    04/26/2014
    Q
    Can I use the same pump for this that I previously used with Suspend SC or will that cause a problem?
    Do I need to get a new pump to use this product? I am considering switching to this instead of Suspend SC because, although it may have been somewhat effective, we still have wasps and carpenter bees, among other things.
    A
    It is perfectly fine to use any other product out of the same sprayer, as long as you triple rinse the sprayer and wash it out thoroughly. You should always triple rinse the sprayer if you are changing the product that you are using.  Triple rinse means to rinse out the inside of the sprayer 3 times, and also fill it with water and run clean water through the hose for at least 1 minute to make sure that there is no residual left in the hose in addition to the tank.

    Q
    The formulation of this product has changed. It now smells like Cyonara, rendering it unusable for me. Why?
    A
    Equil Lambda is the same active ingredient (9.7% Lambda-cyhalothrin) as Cyonara and the formulation is the same. What type of insect are you treating for?
