ExciteR Insecticide - Questions & Answers

ExciteR will eliminate most insects when they are sprayed directly with the product. ExciteR can be sprayed indoors but all people (except for the applicator) and pets will need to be out of the area while you are doing the application and they can return as soon as the area is dry. You will only need to wear a mask if you are spraying in a poorly ventilated area. Using the Clothing Moth Traps can help you catch any of the adult male moths that are lingering indoors and they can help you monitor the infestation. Be sure to thoroughly vacuum the rugs frequently to help remove eggs and larva as they emerge from the eggs.

You should only mix what you can use during each treatment. Diluted Exciter should be used within 24 hours

Yes  You will mix 1.5 fl oz of Suspend SC and 2.125 oz of ExcitR per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft of crack and crevice areas.  Please read over our Bed Bug Treatment Guide and be sure to read the ExciteR and Suspend labels before use.  

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.

We would recommend a Pyrethrin product called ExciteR.  You are correct in stating that you should apply in a inconspicuous area first. 

The minimum amount you can mix ExciteR with Talstar is 0.5 oz ExciteR with .5oz Talster per gallon of water. Please see our Mosquito Treatment Article for more information about this pest.

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.

Unfortunately, ExciteR Insecticide is not considered an organic product as it is not labeled to be used on edible gardens. We do have PyGanic Gardening which also contains pyrethrins and is OMRI certified for use on a wide variety of crops.

You will mix 0.5-1.0 fl. oz. of ExciteR Insecticide in with Talstar P in a gallon sprayer.

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

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.

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. 

Yes, Suspend Polyzone and ExciteR can be mixed in the same tank and applied at the same time. 

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.

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.

Yes, ExciteR Insecticide can be used as an additive to other insecticides like Temprid FX for a faster knock-down of bed bugs and roaches. 

Yes, Exciter can be mixed with any insecticide to add an extra "kick", or knockdown of insects only.  It will not extend the residual of them.

ExciteR can be used as a fog when it is used in a fogging machine such as the Fogmaster JR or the B&G Ultra Lite Fogger M2400.

ExciteR is not labeled for use on livestock. We do Tengard SFR which contains permethrin, and can be used on livestock.

ExciteR is labeled to use for fleas indoors and outdoors. You should note that ExciteR will only kill fleas that make direct contact with the product while it is wet, after ExciteR is dry it will not leave an active residual behind. We recommend you try our Outdoor Flea Kit. The Outdoor Flea kit contains Onslaught which is an insecticide and Martins IGR which is an insects growth regulator (think birth control for fleas). These products can be mixed into the same gallon of water and applied indoors and outdoors. It is very important to vacuum immediately before the indoor application and everyday to every other day for the following 14 days. After 14 days a repeat application may be needed for complete control. You can also mix ExciteR into the dilution for a faster knockdown of the adult fleas.
