Proflex Encapsulated Solution is mixed at 1 fl oz. per gallon of water for structural perimeter barrier applications for mosquitoes and other listed insects. The product label states to apply to outside surfaces of buildings, porches, patios, garages and other areas where these pests have been seen or found. To help prevent infestations of buildings by flying insects, treat soil, vegetation or other substrates in a band 6-10 feet wide adjacent to the building foundations, walls, around doors and windows, and overhead areas where these pests are active and may find entrance or harborage.
Proflex Encapsulated Solution can last up to 90 days outside, depending on the amount of sunlight/weather it is exposed to where it is applied. The key with treating mosquitoes is to apply to the underside of leaves on trees/bushes which is where the adults lay during the day. It can be reapplied at 14 day intervals if needed per the product label. Please refer to the label for complete instructions.
No, Proflex already includes two IGRs, one of which is Pyriproxyfen, the same active ingredient as Nyguard IGR. By adding Nyguard to the mixture you would be going over the allowable label rate for the product.
Yes, Proflex Encapsulated Solution can harm beneficial insects if they are sprayed directly or contact a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose. Insecticides are not designed to be selective in the insects they kill really. To avoid contact we would recommend applying early morning or late evening when they are less active and avoid spraying any blooms. Also key with mosquitoes is to apply to the underside of the leaves on trees/bushes which is where the adults lay during the day. The only product we have that would be safe for bees once dry is the Mavrik.
Proflex Encapsulated Solution needs to be used within 24 hours of mixing with water. You should only mix what you can use at one time.
Yes, Proflex Encapsulated Solution is pet safe as long as it is used according to the product label. Please be sure to remove pets from the area while applying this product. Once the application has dried it is safe for pets to resume normal activity.
All three ingredients in the Proflex are micro encapsulated per the manufacturer.

When treating mosquitoes, you want to focus on areas where mosquitoes may rest, harbor or breed contacting as many mosquitoes as possible including tall grass, foliage, landscape plantings, building foundations, soil beneath decks, backyards and lawns. The ideal target area is the bottom 20 feet of trees. Pay particular attention to the underside of plant leaves and resting sites.
Proflex Encapsulated Solution can be applied outdoors every 30 days or as soon as 14 days if heavy rainfall has occurred. (For indoor applications, it can be applied once every 90 days or as soon as 21 days if renewed activity is present.)
