  • 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.

    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.

  • Asked by Lydia
    09/04/2010
    Q
    Will Exciter mixed with Onslaught work as preventative for bedbugs and roaches?
    A
    So far, nothing seems to work as an effective preventative for bedbugs. Recently, bedbug monitoring systems have become available, which can help with early detection. The Catchmaster BDS (Bedbug Detection System) is a patented device designed to detect bed bugs. BDS is a passive monitoring device that provides what would be considered a perfect harborage area for bed bugs and when they enter the trap, they become stuck. Onslaught will do a great job for roach control. Exciter should be added when you have a current infestation.

  • Asked by Maryann
    06/03/2011
    Q
    Will ExiteR kill fleas outside and in the home?
    A
    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.

  • Asked by Denice from Edmond, Oklahoma
    11/15/2011
    Q
    Can I use Exciter for eliminating scorpions inside my house? I have had the granules placed around the house.
    A
    If you choose to use Exciter for scorpion control you will need to make sure that you apply Exciter directly to the scorpions for the product to be effective. Exciter contains the active ingredient pyrethrins and pyrethrins is only effective when the product makes direct contact with the pest in question and will not leave behind an active residual. Most people choose to use a product such as Cy-Kick CS for indoor scorpion control. There are several products that would do an awesome job controlling scorpions. Cy-Kick CS is a favorite among professional pest control operators and home owners. Cy-Kick CS is a micro-encapsulated product. This means that the particles of the active ingredient are contained in tiny micro-capsules, the insect walks onto the treated surface and picks up the capsules on their bodies and then the micro capsules slowly dry out and crack and the active ingredient oozes out on the insect. These micro capsules make the Cy-Kick last for up to 90 days and also make it safer to use around pets and people.

  • Asked by Gayle from Long Beach
    08/03/2013
    Q
    Is ExciteR Insecticide effective on bed bugs?
    A
    The ExciteR Insecticide can be mixed with whatever residual insecticide you are already using for bed bugs to give an extra knock down of bed bugs in the area. ExciteR is gone after it dries so it would not be used to try and eliminate a bed bug infestation by itself. For the best way to get rid of bed bugs in the cheapest but most effective manor, please look over our Bed Bug Kits. We have put these kits together to show you what products it takes to completely eliminate the insects and have discounted them so help save you money when treating your home. You can also review our guide on How To Get Rid of Bed Bugs for further tips and instructions on both how to use the products in the kit as well as other non chemical steps you can take to eliminate them. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    What oil is needed to dilute ExciteR in order to use it on a thermal fogger? do you sell this type of oil?
    A
    We are unsure what oil would be used as we do not carry it. The manufacturer of ExciteR however should know and be able to direct you to a place to purchase it. You can reach Envincio at 888-241-8088.

    Q
    Could you please provide mixing instructions for ExciteR? I am going to mix with Suspend SC.

  • Asked by Alia from Montreal, Qc
    03/02/2015
    Q
    Can I use ExciteR to prevent bugs from eating persian carpet while in storage? If yes, how is it to be used?
    A
    ExciteR Insecticide with piperonyl butoxide (PBO) was designed with a pyrethroid pesticide to amplify the efficacy on pest insects. With other active ingredients an insect could possibly breakdown the pesticide before it is effective. Because of the potency of PBO smaller amount of pesticeds are needed for pest insect control. PBO allows ExciteR to provide immediate kill when spraying or fogging. We would recommend using this in conjunction with an insecticide, such as Suspend SC.

  • Asked by Sid
    06/09/2015
    Q
    Are ExciteR and Archer IGR close to the same product?
    A
    ExciteR and Archer IGR are not the same type of product. ExciteR is a
    concentrate contains 6% pyrethrins and can be used alone in a fogger or pump sprayer, or as an additive to other insecticides such as malathion, permethrin or cypermethrin for a faster knock-down of insect pests. Archer IGR offers no killing power for the insect. It will impede the reproductive cycle of the insect.  An IGR is a form of “birth control” for pests which helps keep the populations of unwanted pests under control by preventing current and future infestations. They can both be mixed together with a professional strength inseciticide concentrate.

    Q
    Can ExciteR Insecticide be used on a wood pile?
    I have a wood pile that has carpenter ants, spiders and beetles in the wood. Can this be added to a thermal fogger and then applied to the wood pile? Is it safe to burn the wood 6 months from now in my wood burning stove inside my house?
    A

    We do not recommend to apply any liquids to a wood pile  you intend to burn. You can apply granules like Niban around the exterior of the wood pile. This product will treat for ants, roachs, and many other insects.
