  • Asked by Rocky from Austin, Tx
    10/29/2014
    Q
    What indoor/outdoor system, kit, pesticide would you recommend for use around pets?
    We have seen sugar ants, carpenter ants, and small spiders inside the home, as well as a few roaches in the garage.
    A
    We would recommend using Phantom for both and and roach control. Phantom is a popular choice for ants and cockroaches because it can be used in conjunction with baiting. For general pest control indoors, applications should be made to breeding areas, nesting sites, hiding places, runways, and other places where pests are found or likely to infest. Use 3 oz of Phantom per gallon of water for crack and crevice or spot applications. Limited spot treatment of Phantom dilution can be made to surfaces beneath cabinets, spaces between equipment or expansion joints, surfaces behind sinks, lockers, water pipes, cabinets, or other areas where cockroaches may hide. Do not apply more than once every four weeks. For Spider control we would recommend using Trapper LTD Mouse Insect Glueboards to catch spiders along with a spider web deterrent such as Web Out. Web Out kills spiders and prevents spider webs on any surface that may support spider web development. This product can also be used as a contact pesticide to kill ants, crickets, mosquitoes, cockroaches, perimeter pest insects and other general pests.

    Q
    Phantom VS Transport Mikron?
    I've used Phantom quit a bit, and i know it works good, but i was wondering if you know how Transport Mikron Compares to Phantom with knock down and longevity?
    A
    We are of the school of thought that if what you are using is working well for you, you shouldn't change it. Having said that, Transport is also a good product and with 2 different active ingredients offers both a fast kill and a long lasting residual plus it has a broader label as to where it can be applied.

    Q
    Does Phantom work on Brown Recluse Spiders?
    I had a serious small Black ant problem which lead to my purchase of your Phantom product, with great success!! Now, a friend is in a rent house and is being invaded by Brown Recluse Spiders, and landlord is doing NOTHING about these dangerous spiders! Will my Phantom work to eliminate them?
    A
    Phantom is labeled for spiders but it is does not have a fast knockdown so it can take several days for the spiders to be eliminated after they come into contact with treat surfaces. Phantom will also help eliminate other insects which the spiders feed on which in turn will help eliminate the spiders and stop new spiders from moving in.

    11/01/2010
    Q
    Can I spray Phantom with Gentrol? Can I spray Cyzmic CS with Phantom?
    A
    You can mix Gentrol with Phantom and you can mix Gentrol with Cyzmic CS. You should not mix Phantom and Cyzmic CS together. Phantom is a non-repellent product and you will ruin the non-repellent factor if you mix it with a somewhat repellent product such as Cyzmic CS.

  • Asked by Paul from Fort Pierce, Fl
    02/03/2014
    Q
    What is a good product to spray for ant control in Florida?
    I live in Florida, the ant is a very small ant, appears typically after a rain.
    A
    Phantom is a great choice for "social" insects such as ants or those insects that congregate together for nesting and feeding. Phantom offers a delayed kill that gives insects time to get back to the nest and infect other insects with the insecticide. Phantom is also a non-repellent insecticide which means that sensitive insects like roaches can not tell that it is there and they readily cross over the treatment area. Phantom is usually used indoors for current infestations as a crack and crevice spray only. Exterior applications are limited to spot and crack and crevice treatments around door frames, window frames, eaves, attic vents, and holes where utilities enter into the structure

  • Asked by Faith from Seymour, In.
    11/14/2013
    Q
    Can I put Phantom over top of Onslaught? Will the chemical mixture change/be ineffective together?
    Two months ago, I sprayed what was left of the Phantom I had purchased a couple of years ago at a friends house and purchased Onslaught (and a new sprayer) to do my own place. She is wanting me to retreat her place but I don't want to buy a bottle of Onslaught just for her. Can I put Phantom over top of it? Will the chemical mixture change/be ineffective together? Thank you for your help.
    A

    We do not recommend treating other properties unless you are licensed or if you are the owner. Phantom has a residual for up to 90 days inside as does Onslaught. You do not want to treat with another product after treating a couple of months ago. Wait another month before treating with either product.

  • Asked by Emily from Athens, Oh
    08/13/2011
    Q
    Phantom was sprayed near my vegetable plants - are they still safe to eat?
    They sprayed Phantom around the perimeter of our home. I have a few pepper plants near where they sprayed. Will my plants pick up Phantom from the soil? What if there is a bit of spray on the peppers themselves? Thanks!
    A
    Unfortunately Phantom is not labeled to be applied to any fruit or vegetables, so it is advised to discard anything that may have been sprayed with Phantom.  The plants should not pick up anything from the soil, but if they were sprayed on the item should be thrown away.

    Q
    How many ounces per gallon of Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide do I use to treat bed bugs?
    A

    You would use Phantom Termiticide/Insectiide at a rate of 3 oz per gallon of water to treat for bed bugs. We do recommend using other products such as Bedlam in combination with Phantom so you will have both a fast knockdown and a long-lasting residual.

    Q
    Is there another non repellent like Transport Mikron that can be used in an Actisol machine for roaches?
    A

    Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is a good option for roaches that can be used in an Actisol machine directed into cracks and crevices.  It is a non repellent and will help to eliminate a roach colony with a transfer effect.

    Q
    Can I treat fleas with Phantom?
    Indoors and outdoors?

  • Asked by Bernard
    09/04/2009
    Q
    Is Phantom oil soluble? I want to apply the solution with an oil base to help it adhere to the house foundation through rainy or moist seasons.
    A
    After speaking with BASF, they suggested that you should not mix Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide with an oil only.  Not only will oil kill any plant life, grass, etc around your foundation, but Phantom is a water soluable solution and would not adhere or spray correctly if mixed with oil.  They did say that you can mix the Phantom with a surfactant. We do carry surfactants which you can mix with the Phantom and water.

  • Asked by Ameer from California
    02/26/2013
    Q
    Is Phantom better than Wisdom Flo for ants and spider control?
    indoor and outdoor
    A

    Phantom would definitely be a better choice for ant control because it is a non-repellent which also has a transfer effect so it will be transferred back to the colony to wipe out the whole colony vs just the ants that cross over the treated area. The downside to this is that there is a delayed reaction kill which means while it will kill spiders, it will take a while for them to die. Phantom is only labeled for spot and crevice treatments around potential pest entry points such as pipes, wires, vents, window frames, etc and is not for perimeter spray treatments.

  • Asked by Seth from Fort Lauderdale, Fl
    11/04/2014
    Q
    How quickly do I have to use Phantom once it's mixed with water?
    I mixed up a 1 gallon batch of phantom/water in a Chapin sprayer a couple of days ago and only used about half. How long does the mixture last in the sprayer before it should be discarded?
    A
    The manufacturer recommends using any insecticide solution within 24 hours of mixing. Any time longer than that, can cause the Phantom to separate and lose its effectiveness.
