Phantom must be diluted with water and Gentrol for Roach and Spider Control. Gentrol will break down the reproductive cycle of the roaches. We also recommend to incorporate a bait like Maxforce Magnum into the treatment program for roaches. Please see our Roach Treatment Guide for more information.
Phantom Termiticide is not labeled to be used in a fogger, it is only as an inside crack and crevice treatment with a sprayer. Please look at our Fogging Insecticide Page for approved products to be used in fogging equipment.
It is recommended that you apply Phantom Insecticide when individuals are not in the home. Once the product has dried completely, it is safe for individuals to return to the area.
We carry Phantom Termiticide right on our website. To get certified to make applications as a business you would need to check with your local regulations and requirements. Generally with your department of agricultural or other state department of pesticide regulation.
Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is an adulticide only, not an IGR, and it is not labeled for fleas. We would recommend using a product called Nyguard Plus instead, which contains both an insecticide and an IGR. It can take multiple treatments and lots of vacuuming in between treatments to completely eradicate a flea infestation. Hard floor surfaces do not need to have products broadcast over them, as they are not habitable for adult fleas. Instead, you should direct the treatment to cracks and crevices around these rooms and in the floors. Please take a look at our Flea Control Guide for more tips and information on how to do a complete treatment.
When treating for roaches with Phantom (or any other spray), it is very important to remember that it will take time to fully eradicate them, especially if the infestation is severe. It would also be a good idea to use a roach bait gel and an insect growth regulator (IGR) along with your insecticide for faster results. Please take a look at our Roach Control Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent roaches.
Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide only has a residual of about 90 days on surfaces. It should only be used to directly treat active infestations inside wood and not just to the surface of wood for prevention if you are dealing with termites.
Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is not labeled for phorid flies and cannot be used out in the lawn in soil. Talstar P would be a better option along with letting any soil completely dry out as this will eliminate breeding site.
If you have an active infestation of termites in the wall you will need to treat by drilling directly into the wood to apply a termiticide product. Phantom would be a better option than Timbor if you are dealing with subterranean termites as it will have a transfer effect and be carried back to the colony below ground and spread throughout.
Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is not labeled to treat for fleas. We highly recommend using the Indoor/Outdoor Flea kit. The Outdoor/Indoor Flea and Tick Kit contains all the professional pest control products you need to treat for both fleas and ticks inside and outside your home, apartment, or similar structure.
Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide should only be applied to cracks and crevices as directed on the product label. It is NOT recommended to over spray or apply to areas not listed, applying too much, etc. Phantom is a non-repellent and applying too much could cause the residual to act as a repellent to the insects you are targeting.
Phantom is non-repellent so bedbugs cannot avoid the treated areas, and it will kill those that cross over the treated area within 3 days. This should not be the sole product for treating bedbugs. It takes multiple products and multiple applciations for success. Our bed bug kits have many products that are considered the top bed bug control products. Our kits also come with full instructions. They have a very high success rate with our customers and your best chance of eliminating a bed bug infestation. We would suggest adding an IGR (insect growth regulator) called Gentrol to halt the reproductive cycle of the bedbugs. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article/videos on How to Get Rid of Bedbugs.
Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is not labeled for scabies. Scabies mites live on/in the skin and we do not carry anything to treat humans. Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of scabies. You may spray your furniture with a product such as Steri-fab to kill anything on furniture though treating the home is usually not necessary.
Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is not labeled to treat for lizards and should not be sprayed into any air vents/ducts. You can view our products for lizard control here.
We do not recommned pouring down toilets/interior drains. We recommend discarding the finished solution around the exterior of the structure. If you are disposing of the bottle/concentrate, we recommend checking locally for proper disposal in your area.
Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide can be applied in a hand held pump sprayer or backpack sprayer. However, it is not labeled for mosquitoes. We suggest using Talstar P. for mosquito control. You will need to use 1 ounce of Talstar P per gallon of water for mosquito control.
Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide should not be applied within 15 ft of citrus trees or inside a greenhouse. Please provide the targeted pest for an alternate recommendation.
Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is not specifically labeled for clothes moths. We recommend treating the cracks and crevices with Temprid FX and apply traps inside.
We are not aware of any known reports of resistance build up to Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide. We will say that sprays alone are not enough to eliminate bed bugs as you cannot use in all the areas you need to treat for them. We would recommend one of our Bed Bug Control Kits. Which kit you choose depends on the number of rooms you need to treat. We also have a great guide here that explains the treatment that should be done.
We would not recommend spraying Phantom Termiticide Insecticide around or near your kitchen sink. You should use it along baseboards and in cracks and crevices such as under or behind cabinets. Once the product has dried, it will not reactivate. Avoid mopping the areas treated with the product so the effectiveness is not reduced.
