PyGanic Pro - Questions & Answers

Pyrethrin products such as the Pyganic Pro concentrate or the 565 Plus XLO aerosol spray work very well to kill just about any insects that is sprayed directly. Pyrethrin products have no residual effect, so any insect that is not sprayed directly will not be killed. A good all around spray that works very well for roaches and spiders is Cy Kick CS. This spray can be used indoors and outdoors, has almost no odor, and is labeled for just about any insect that is likely to infest a house.

No the Pyganic Pro is to be used on "harvested" fruits or vegetables and in warehouses while the Pyganic EC is labeled for use on growing crops.

There will be no expiration date listed on the Pyganic Pro, only a manufacturers release date that should be on the bottle itself.  We are not sure exactly where on the bottle this would be as this product is no longer available.  The product has a 3-5 year shelf life from the date of purchase if kepty out of extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.  MGK who is the manufacturer can be reached at 800-645-6466 and they may be able to better help you find the release date.

Pyganic Pro will kill just about any insect if it is sprayed directly. We do recommend that you have the insect you are dealing with properly identified to be sure you are actually dealing with carpet beetles as they are not usually described as being "black specks". You can take samples of the insect to your local cooperative extension office or have a pest control company come to your home to do a free inspection and identification. If you are indeed dealing with carpet beetles, you should read our article "Carpet Beetle Pest Control" which describes in length the treatment process needed to eliminate this pest.

Pyganic Pro is not labeled for use on edible vegetation before harvest. Corn (does not specify "sweet" corn) is listed on page 3 of the Pyganic Pro product label for while it is being stored after harvest. For more specific use, you may call the product manufacturer MGK at 800-645-6466.
