    Q
    Cloth moths a damaging my wool carpet. What product containing pyrethrum can I apply onto the carpet?

  • Asked by Jenny from West Liberty
    01/18/2016
    Q
    Does Exciter Insecticide work on bed bugs?
    A

    Exciter Insecticide is used as an additive to make an insecticide work faster. We would not recommend this product being the sole product you are using for bed bugs because it does not provide any residual control, however it does offer fast kill of bed bugs and any other insect pests. It would be a great additive to a product such as Temprid SC.

  • Asked by Richard
    03/30/2010
    Q
    How well does ExciteR Insecticide work on killing flies?
    We have them very bad and we need a product to get rid of them so we can walk in to our back yard and not get covered in flies. What product will help us take care of this matter?
    A
    ExciteR will offer a fast knockdown of the insects present at the time of the application but it will not leave a long lasting residual. You may want to consider mixing ExciteR with Talstar P so you will have a fast knockdown of the flies present and a lasting residual to help control the new flies that come into the area. Depending on the type of flies in your yard, using a fly trap such as the Advantage Fly Trap or the Flies Be Gone fly trap should help too.

  • Asked by Matt
    07/15/2011
    Q
    Can you mix ExciteR and Demon WP (for rapid knockdown and Residual)
    Using for Cicada killer wasps.
    A
    You absolutely can mix ExcitR and Demon WP.  ExcitR is actually made to add to any insecticide to add that extra punch to give a really quick knockdown.  For Cicada killers, you should treat in the late evening when they are down their burrow holes and mix the Demon WP and ExcitR in a bucket or garden can so you can flood the burrow quickly and effectively.

  • Asked by David from Decatur
    09/18/2017
    Q
    Is Exciter a repellent? If so, why would one mix it with a non-repellent?
    A

    ExciteR pyrethrin concentrate contains 6% pyrethrins and can be used alone in a fogger or pump sprayer, or as an additive to other insecticides for a faster knock-down of insect pests, but it is not a repellent. When used alone, ExciteR does not leave a long residual. ExciteR Insecticide can be used for that extra punch in any insecticide, except with non-repellent products which are on our site, Termidor SC and Phantom.

  • Asked by Jessica from Manhattan
    09/03/2014
    Q
    Is ExciteR okay to be sprayed into the back of my fridge with food in it?
    The exterminator just came and sprayed it into the back of my fridge for roaches and also around my pantry area. There was food in the fridge and packaged food (boxes and cans) in the pantry. The label says all food should be removed or covered. Is my food safe?
    A
    While we cannot comment on the work of the exterminator due to liability, we would recommend following the ExciteR Insecticide label. The food should be removed and/or covered when spraying the product. We would recommend throwing out the contaminated items. Please let us know if you have any additional questions

    Q
    How do I mix ExciteR for use in a Burgess Propane Fogger?
    Is my Burgess Propane Fogger considered "thermal" and I read somehere about "oil base" something when using in "thermal" fogger?
    A
    We apologize, we are not familiar with this type of fogger. We recommedn contacting the manufacturer of your fogger to make sure it is propane. We sell the Fog RX propane fogger, which you would use mineral oil to dilute Exciter.

  • Asked by Larry from California
    04/29/2016
    Q
    For a German cockroach infestation, could you tell me the mixing instructions for Exciter, Suspend and Gentrol IGR?
    A

    The mixing ratio for Exciter is 0.25 fl. oz. per gallon of water. The mixing ratio for Suspend SC is 0.75 fl. oz. per gallon of water. The mixing ratio for Gentrol IGR is 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. These can be mixed together and sprayed in the same tank. 

    We would also recommend a bait gel, such as Maxforce Magnum, for use inside of cabinets and drawers for another source to kill the roaches. Be sure not to spray the bait because it will contaminate it and the roaches will not consume it.

  • Asked by Carroll
    06/08/2010
    Q
    Will ExcitetR kill stink bugs on tomato plants?
    I've always had trouble with stink bugs ruining my tomatoes before I can enjoy them. I've tried everything short of a .22 rifle with no success. I can't afford to spend money on something expensive unless I can feel reasonably sure that it will work.
    A
    No, Exciter cannot be used on any edible vegetation. We do carry Acephate 75SP, Cyonara Lawn and Garden and Malathion 57%, each of which can be used on different fruits and vegetables. Malathion has the broadest label and is our most popular product for customers that need to treat fruit and vegetable plants. Always read the product label to be sure the plants you need to treat are listed. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to seek advice on the best products for plants and insects in your region.

    Q
    Can ExciteR be applied to clothing as a repellent?
    The active ingredient in Sawyer's insect repellent is permethrin. According to my exterminator, he stated that this product could be used as a better repellent for ticks/mosquitoes on hunting clothing. Can this be used in such a fashion?
    A

     ExciteR Insecticide cannot be applied to clothing. We do sell Repel which is labeled to be applied to clothing.
