Harmonix Insect Spray is labeled to be used for bed bugs, and does work well, but when treating a bed bug infestation several products should be used in conjunction with each other to gain full control of the infestation. I recommend looking over one of our Bed Bug Kits as they will give you the best products to eradicate the bed bugs.
Yes, you can add Harmonix Insect Spray with an insecticide such as Talstar P, an IGR such as Archer IGR in a backpack mist blower such as the Solo 451.
Harmonix Insect Spray is an insecticide that kills insects including ants on contact with some resdiual effects.

Harmonix Insect Spray is NOT labeled for use on edible vegetation. For more information on the products that we carry for use in vegetable gardens and on other edibles, please click on the link below. Please let us know if you need anything else.
Harmonix Insect Spray is labeled for fleas and ticks to be sprayed in the lawn but it is not labeled for edibles. We would recommend that you not spray the trees.
If you are looking for a flea/tick solution, we would recommend using the Outdoor/Indoor Flea Kit. You would mix 0.5 to 1.0 fl. oz. of Onslaught and 1.0 fl. oz. of Martin's IGR (insect growth regulator) with a gallon of water and spray the lawn. If the problem still persists, 14 days later you would spray 0.5 fl. oz. to 1.0 fl. oz. of Onslaught mixed with a gallon of water across the lawn. If you have any additional questions, please let us know.
You can also help by creating a "tick safe zone" in your yard. You should have an area that is at least 9 ft wide between your yard and any wooded area. Trim back trees to allow as much sunlight as possible into your yard. Keep grass as short. Remove as much leaf litter as possible. A clearly defined, well manicured border between your yard and any wooded areas or weedy lots will reduce the chance of ticks infesting your yard.
Harmonix Insect Spray is an insecticide that kills insects including ticks on contact with some residual effects but is not labeled for edibles. It can be applied at 7 day intervals for best results. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use more water (not more product) when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. All of your pets should be treated with a product that is specifically labeled for use on dogs or cats for tick control.

Harmonix Insect Spray is very effective for Springtail control. Dilute at 1.5 oz per gallon water. Be sure to also check for any water leaks or excess moisture in the area. Springtails are highly attracted to high moisture areas.
We have not had any reports of staining with Harmonix. That being said, it is a pyrethrin product and somewhat oily, so there is the possibility that the solution could stain certain surfaces. The manufacturer always recommends doing a spot test first if you are unsure. If you have used it and have experienced staining, it would be best to contact Bayer directly for advice on how to remove any stains. You can reach them by calling 800-331-2867.
Harmonix Insect Spray has a solvent like odor to it per the SDS. Any lingering odor will disipate once the treated area is dry, but it would not be a strong odor until then.
You will need to mix 12.5 oz. Harmonix Insect Spray per 25 gallons water.
Harmonix Insect Spray can be mixed with another insecticide such as Suspend Polyzone. Harmonix will help to provide a faster knockdown but should not affect the residual of any other products if used as directed on the product label.
Harmonix Insect Spray can be used at just about any temperature as long as it is above freezing. This is primarily a contact kill insecticide, though, so you want to use it when you see active insects. Most insects will not be active until temperatures are around at least 60 degrees since they need warmer temperatures to survive. Harmonix is a concentrate, and you could use 2.6 oz per gallon of water for exterior treatment, applying at 7-day intervals as needed, per the product label. You should only treat the wood where you see or suspect the insect activity. Depending on the size of the structure, you may use 1-3 gallons of solution per treatment.
We also have our Carpenter Bee Control Kit, which includes a dust, duster, and plugs for the holes. We have more tips in our Carpenter Bee Treatment Guide here.
