    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.

    Does Viper kill lice?

  • Asked by Jonathan from Ware, Ma
    09/13/2014
    Q
    Does Martins Viper Insecticide Concentrate give an immediate kill or a quick kill to lessen attacking bees?
    Is this a contact spray concentrate? I want a pesticide or additive along the lines of Exciter. Treating nests at night is not an option in the exterminating business and the more bees that perish quickly the better.
    A
    Martins Viper Insecticide does provide a quick kill for bees. No, Viper is not a contact kill. You will use 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. ExciteR mixed with the Viper will provide a faster knockdown. It will give it an extra "kick". Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
