    Q
    Can I use FenvaStar to treat the carpet for bed bug nymphs?
    I'm currently living in an apartment complex and both apartments next to mine to the right and left of me are infested. The tenants are bug bombing and they are now coming through the drain pipes and fenvastar is working great to kill them there. I did a perimeter spray with FenvaStar, but I want to know if I can also treat the carpet? Not saturating it of couse due to the water but a light misting?
    A

    There really is no need to treat the whole carpet with Fenvastar for bedbugs. If the bedbugs do move through the walls into your apartment they will pass through the product that you applied around the perimeter and be killed. If you feel you must spray the carpets Fenvastar is labeled to be used as…

    Q
    Does FenvaStar EcoCap have a residual kill effect on bed bugs?
    Is it safe to apply using a smaller handheld spray bottle?
    A

    Fenvastar EcoCap does have a residual but when treating bedbugs you will reapply every 2 weeks using a standard pump sprayer.  We do not recommend that you use a regular squirt bottle for Fenvastar EcoCap applications because the application will not be even.

    Is it okay to mix FenvaStar with Gentrol?
    I assume that FevaStar can be mixed with Gentrol as Temprid, but wanted to inquire prior to doing so. Appreciate your help. Also, do you find that alternatating chemical sprays can prevent the insects builidng a tolerance to one chemical?
    A

    Yes it is absolutely fine to mix Gentrol with the FenvaStar, Temprid, and any other insecticide on the market. IGR's are specifically designed to be safely mixed with concentrates without causing any effect to the product being used. Yes, alternating sprays every couple of months will help you preve…

  • Asked by Sheri from San Diego, California
    06/23/2018
    Q
    What are the differences between FenvaStar EcoCap and Temprid FX for BBs? I am concerned about toxicity.
    I am confused as to the difference between FenvaStar EcoCap and Temprid FX for bed bug eradication. I am concerned about toxicity which is why I initially went the diatomaceous earth route (along with steaming, vacuuming, constant laundering, mattress/boxspring encasement, etc., etc.) I estimate I have seen no more than ten adults at the very beginning five months ago, but am still getting bitten. I had high hopes with the DE and know that it has been effective in keeping a massive infestation from blossoming and BB population explosion, but clearly I must employ more toxic measures. I recently purchased Gentrol and Steri-Fab from you, but in reading reviews on your site, I think I need to add at least one more component to the DE, Gentrol, Steri-fab program. Again, I'm trying to minimize poisons/toxins. My impression is that FenvaStar EcoCap is as effective as Temprid FX, but less toxic to people and animals, also requires less time away from the treated area before being able to return. This business of pest control is extraordinarily complex especially when it comes to bed bugs and limited financial resources. I am most fortunate, however, to have found your site. Your extensive catalog and knowledge, great prices, and prompt shipping go a long way in helping me feel hopeful. Anyway, as to the pros/cons between FenvaSter EcoCap and Temprid FX, will you please explain and, perhaps, recommend? THANK YOU!
    A

    FenvaStar EcoCap and Temprid FX are similar but not the same. The biggest difference is that Temprid FX has two active ingredients for extra control and to help prevent resistance issues. These product have very similar labeling as far as where and how often they can be applied for bed bug control. …

    Q
    Is FenvaStar EcoCap good for roaches? I have a multi unit building w/ 3 apartments.
    So far I've been bombing and using Gentrol disks in strategic places. I'm going to tank mix FenvaStar with an IGR also and spot and crevice spray too. This is a big problem I think, one apt is vacant and the first time I bombed there were 50-60 dead ones and about a dozen or so live ones. Ive bombed two days straight after that and still had about a dozen dead ones and half dozen live ones each time. Now I'm going to lay off the bombs and just spray and let the iIGR work a bit. I'm also going to put bait gels around too. Do you think my problem is big enough to warrant more extreme measures like drilling stud bay holes and dusting in the walls or something else possibly?
    A

    FenvaStar EcoCap is labeled for roaches and should be tank mixed with an IGR such as Gentrol. We do also recommend applying a professional bait gel in areas where you are not spraying or dusting. Dusting the wall voids is also a great option for better control.
