Yes all 3 can be tank mixed together.  ExciteR Insecticide would be mixed at the rate of 2.125 to 4.25 fl. ounces.  Arilon is 1 to 2 packets per gallon.  NyGuard IGR would be mixed at the rate of 3 to 8 ml per gallon of water.

While Talstar P cannot be used a fogger, you can use Exciter alone in a ULV/thermal fogger. For tank mixing these 2, we recommend hand pump sprayers, hose end sprayers, backpack sprayers, and mist blowers.

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. You should apply when you apply your residual insecticide.

Please take a few moments to review our treatment article for additional pro tips on How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes.

We apologize,  but we do not carry a product called Patrol we cannot provide any information on that product.  We can tell you that ExciteR Insecticide can typically be mixed with any insecticide to provide a faster knockdown.  

ExciteR Insecticide is a one of a kind product as it is a fast knockdown. There are very few products that are similar but here are a few: Stryker Multi-Use Insecticide, EverGreen Pro 60-6, and Kicker Insecticide.

ExciteR Insecticide is safe when used as directed and is a contact kill only.  Once dry on surfaces there is no residual left behind.  People should be out of treated areas until dry, typically about 1 hour inside.

BP 300 is a pyrethrin based product with a PBO synergist so there would be no valid reason to add Exciter R which is also a pyrethrin based product with a PBO synergist.

ExciteR Insecticide is labeled to be used both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors you can apply this to bushes, trees, shrubs, landscaped areas, and in the lawn area.  Please refer the product label for complete instructions.

ExciteR is not known to stain.. As with all insecticides, we still recommend spraying a small inconspicuous area to see if staining occurs. If staining does occur, we recommend that you do not use that specific product on your home. 

ExciteR Insecticide is a contact kill so will only kills those you make direct contact with during application.  Bark Beetles are very hard to treat for as they get into the vein of the tree where you cannot contact them with sprays.  Due to the natural boring behavior of the beetle they are protected from topically applied insecticides and systemic insecticides (those injected into the tree or applied as a root drench) have proven ineffective for pine beetle infestations. Healthy trees can be protected before the beetles attack by topically spraying them with a synthetic pyrethroid like Permethrin SFR.  Unfortunately there is no easy solution when it comes to pine beetles. Infected trees should be cut down (before the newly hatched beetles fly out of the trees in the spring/summer) and the wood burned or chipped, while other still healthy trees should be sprayed annually to protect them.  The tree should be sprayed from the ground to 15 ft up the trunk to prevent future infestations. You should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying in your region.

Yes, ExciteR Insecticide provides a contact kill while the application is still wet on the surface. Once dry, the residual is short term and will not provide a contact kill.

For treating spiders, ExciteR Insecticide is only labeled to be applied to the outside periemeter foundation up and out, around windows, doors, under the eaves of the roof.  This product is NOT labeled for indoor treatments for spider control.

Kepp in mind, since Spiders have very little body surface that actually touches the ground, eradicating a spider population is done primarily through secondary poisoning as they eat insects that have crossed areas treated with a liquid insecticide or insecticide dust or as they groom themselves picking up the active ingredient. 

Please view our Brown Recluse Spider Control Products and Spider Treatment Guide for more information on a successful treatment. 

ExciteR Insecticide is a contact kill pyrethrin insecticide and once dry, does not leave a residual. ExciteR can be used alone to flush out cracks and crevices prior to applying a residual inseticide or can be tank mixed with a residual insecticide such as Temprid FX for roaches and bed bugs. 

Please take a moment to review our Bed Bug Treatment Guide and Roach Treatment Guide for more information on how successfully eradicate these pests. 

ExciteR Insecticide is designed as a contact kill and is active when it is wet. Once the application is dry, 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. 

We do not carry Black Flag Fogging Insecticide Formula 2 so cannot comment on it’s use, you would need to refer to it’s product label for information and if it can be mixed with professional grade products.  You can use Exciter in a ULV/thermal fogger as directed on the product label. 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
