    Q
    What insecticide can you mix with ExciteR insecticide to get rid of roaches in your home?
    A

    ExciteR Insecticide is a synergist product and can be mixed with other insecticides to provide a quick knockdown of the pest you are treating for.  ExciteR Insecticide does not have a long residual when applied by itself.  You can mix it with insecticides such as Bifen IT, Talstar P or Suspend SC.

    Q
    Does ExciteR have an odor? And how much to mix with Talstar for roaches?
    A
    Like the Talstar, the ExciteR does not have a distinguishable odor and will also dry clear. The ExciteR would be mixed at the rate of 1/2 ounce per gallon of water with 1 ounce of the Talstar. When spraying for roaches you may want to highly consider using an IGR-insect birth contro- to make sure the roaches are not reproducing faster than you can kill them. One of our best IGR's for roaches is the Gentrol IGR. You can mix 1 ounce of this in the same gallon of water as the Talstar and ExciteR and it will last on the surface for roughly 3 months making sure any roach that comes into contact with it can not reproduce.

    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 Larry from California

    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 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.

  • Asked by Rickey from Chicago, Il
    01/25/2018
    Q
    How long does it take for the ExciteR Insecticide to dry?
    A

    ExciteR Insecticide is designed as a contact kill and is active when it is wet. Once the application is dry, usually about 30 min to an hour, there will very little residual effect, if any. Since this is a contact and flushing agent, you would use ExciteR as needed, and the best reapplication timing will depend on what pest you are treating.

  • Asked by Rene from Denver, Co
    05/24/2017
    Q
    Can I mix Temprid SC and ExciteR for bed bug treatments?
    A

    Yes, Temprid SC and ExciteR Insecticide can be mixed together to treat for bed bugs.  ExciteR can be mixed with whatever residual insecticide you are already using for bed bugs to give a quicker knock down of bed bugs in the area. ExciteR is gone after it dries so you would not want to use it alone to try and eliminate a bed bug infestation.  You may want to take a look at our Bed Bug Control Guide for more tips on doing a complete bed bug treatment.

  • Asked by Nick from Nc
    01/04/2017
    Q
    Is ExciteR Insecticide a repellent?
    Will adding this product to a non-repellent make it a repellent?
    A

    ExciteR Insecticide will give you a fast knockdown of pests and is somewhat of a repellent. It has a very short residual and breaks down a lot more quickly than an insecticide that is a non-repellent, so this would not have any effect on the non-repellency of another product.

    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.

    What oil do I use to mix ExciteR in a fogger?

  • 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.

    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.

  • Asked by Trevor from San Diego, Ca
    10/12/2011
    Q
    What is the application rate, and can I add this directly to my nutrient water for my plants feed?
    Looking for something to add to my hydroponic grow system to keep springtails & fungus gnats at bay
    A
    Exciter is not labeled to be used in any type of irrigation system and it is not labeled for springtails. Without knowing what type of plants you are growing we do not know what type of product to recommend for your use. We recommend you call your local cooperative extension office and speak directly with the master gardener on staff. Master gardeners are experts on the plants and insects in your region and they can usually recommend the best product for your needs.

  • 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.
