  • Asked by Reba from Crandall
    11/12/2016
    Q
    Does Martins Viper Insecticide Concentrate work instantly, or do insects take it back to their nest?
    I used Viper and an IGR in a 1 gal sprayer and I'm not seeing as many, but I am still seeing some. I was wondering if this kills on contact or if they take it to the nest.
    A

    The cypermethrin active ingredient in Martins Viper Insecticide Concentrate is picked up in the residual, and carried back to the nest. It works by affecting the pests' central nervous system.

  • Asked by Penny from Brooks, Ga
    07/12/2017
    Q
    Will Martins Viper Insecticide Concentrate kill fleas and their eggs?
    I need to treat inside my home.
    A

    Martins Viper Insecticide Concentrate is not labeled to be applied indoors for fleas and will not kill flea eggs.  The key to killing flea eggs is using an insect growth regulator (or IGR).  Most IGRs cause growth abnormalities in the egg and larvae stages that prevent growth. To treat for fleas indoors, you may want to consider a product like Ultracide.  Ultracide is a very effective flea control aerosol that combines an insecticide and an IGR to provide immediate kill of adult fleas and prevent formation of new adults from eggs or larvae.  Please take a moment to look over our guide on How To Get Rid Of Fleas as well for more tips and information on doing a complete flea treatment.

  • Asked by Danielle from Chalmette
    01/20/2016
    Q
    Can Martins Viper be applied inside our home while we are here?
    I was told by the feed n seed store we purchased Viper from for fleas to apply to furniture, baseboards, carpet, curtains and bedding and it was safe. We have strayed twice. Still have fleas. We do have two cats, three teenagers. In a previous question I saw you shouldn't apply it to furniture, bedding or carpet.
    A

    Martins Viper is not labeled to be applied to furniture or bedding and is not labeled for use on fleas inside. People and pets should be out of the area during treatment until dry. Products must be used as directed on the product label and the feed store has told you incorrectly. It is always recommended to read over product labels before using to ensure proper usage. Viper is only labled to be used outside for fleas. Any bedding that has been sprayed should be washed and dried; that is also all that is needed to treat them. We would recommend our Indoor Flea Kit to more effectively treat fleas inside with products that are labeled to do so.

  • Asked by Pam from Lexington
    05/28/2015
    Q
    How well would it work on sow bugs and pill bugs?
    I know it says it kills sow bugs and pill bugs, but based on the fact these critters live mostly in the soil and damp places, does it only kill them on contact? If there is a better product against sow bugs, would you please recommend that as well. Thank you.
    A
    Martins Viper Insecticide Concentrate is labeled for both sowbugs and pillbugs. The product provides a quick knockdown and a residual. It will not kill on contact. Martins Viper Insecticide does provide a residual of about 30 days outdoors and 90 days indoors.
