  • Asked by Lee from Philadelphia, Pa

    Q
    Can PT Alpine Flea & Bed Bug or Insecticide aerosols be used to treat hard scale on orchids?
    I have multiple indoor orchids & have been fighting a losing battle with hard scale for years using contact sprays. I would like to try a systemic insecticide like dinotefuran. Can the above aerosol products be used in place of Safari 20SG Systemic Insecticide, which is much more expensive, for this?
    A

    PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol is not labeled for this use and would not be recommended.  While we understand the wish to use a cheaper alternative over the Safari 20SG, products that contain the same active do not always work the same and if not labeled to be used as a systemic would not work as one.  You can also use Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control, which is labeled for all houseplants, both indoors and outdoors. You will need to use 2.5 tbsp. per gallon of water.

    05/15/2014
    Q
    What is the best indoor flea treatment that can be used on carpets and is safe for cats?
    We have a horrible flea infestation problem and need to get a product that we can mix to do all of the carpets. Bombing is not an option as we have many cats. We plan to include a igr also. The product we use should not be toxic to cats once it is dry as they lay on the carpet.
    A
    Alpine Flea Insecticide Aerosol with IGR which is one of the safest professional grade flea sprays for use indoors and was recently classified as a reduced risk product by the EPA. It provides excellent control of fleas and contains an IGR as well, which prevents adult fleas from being able to lay eggs, eventually halting the flea reproductive cycle.

    Q
    Application Question regarding residue
    I applied the product (3.5 cans for 3300 sf) and the floors were very slippery when I returned home. There appears to be a residue on my floors that shows a lot of footprints.. Is this normal? Did I do something wrong?
    A
    PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol can leave a residue on floors making them slippery therefore we do encourage you to be cautious when applying. Per the label and "because of the wide variety of floor types and finishes, treat a small inconspicuous area before treating the entire area".

    Q
    When can I mop my hardwood floor after treating them with PT Alpine Fea Aerosol?
    I just treated my entire house, which is entirely hardwood flooring, and applied diatomaceous earth around all of the edges. I'm curious when it would be safe for me to mop the floor again?
    A
    PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol would not be applied across entire hard floor surfaces as these are not habitable for fleas.  You should direct treatment only to cracks and crevices around these rooms.  We have a great guide here that can help as well.

    PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol is labeled to kill adult bed bugs and bed bugs when they hatch, but it is not labeled for bed bugs eggs.

    Q
    How long after application of PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol can I sweep/vacuum laminate flooring? This was used as a bed bug treatment
    A

    When using PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol for bed bugs you would not treat entire floors, but direct the spray to the cracks and crevices around rooms where bedbugs are known to harbor as directed on the product label.   There would be no issue sweeping/vacuuming an area once it is dry.

    Q
    Unidentified insect. Very small, round, black blood thirsty creatures.
    These little guys jump and seem to disappear. I have dead ones from using your product. After 9 treatments they things are biting me as I type this message (I used your product again last evening). Their size is unbelievably small, just larger than a needle point. Please advise...
    A

    We recommend that you get a proper identification of the insect you are dealing with.  You should collect several samples of the insect and contact your local cooperative extension office to get an insect identification. Starting a treatment program without knowing exactly what you are dealing with is likely to lead to a treatment failure. Once you have a proper identification we would be happy to help advise you of the correct treatment.
