    Q
    Will Martins Viper Insecticide Concentrate kill fire ants?
    A

    Martins Viper Insecticide Concentrate is labeled for ants, but not fire ants specifically. When treating for fire ants we would recommend a product like Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer instead which you use to treat the individual mounds themselves.If you need a product that you can broadcast over a large area we would recommend the Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait.

  • 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 Dorothy from Clermont
    10/20/2016
    Q
    How often do I need to spray Martins Viper Insecticide Concentrate to kill mud daubers and when?
    A

    Martins Viper Insecticide Concentrate is not labeled to treat mud daubers. Talstar P will kill mud daubers that come into contact with treated areas for a sufficient amount of time to receive a lethal dose. You will need to dilute 1 fl oz of Talstar P per gallon of water and broadcast spray over the areas where you have noticed activity. Most folks notice only very limited results from broadcast sprays of insecticides for cicada killers because they don't land and walk around for a long enough time before entering their underground burrow. For a more direct treatment, you can use Delta dust in each individual burrow. You may also want to consider our Wasp and Hornet Control Products.

  • 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.
