    Q
    How often do I need to apply Pyranha?
    I live in Dallas and water the yard 2 to 3 times a week during summer months - does water/rain effect the product longevity?
    A
    Most folks use this product in their mosquito misting systems and they set the system to go off once a night when the mosquitoes are most active. The product really won't last more than 24 hours when used in this manner.

    06/13/2011
    Q
    Do I need to adjust the pH of the water with Pyranha 1-10x like you must with Riptide?
    Riptide recommends pH adjustment to 5.5 to 7.0 and I could not find any info on the Pyranha product about this to maintain product viability.
    A
    There are certain products that are susceptible to problems with high pH balances in water. If a product label does not specifically address this issue it is because this particular product does not usually have any issues with pH.

  • Asked by Sandra
    05/20/2011
    Q
    Do I add the Pyranha 1-10 PX to the tank in the small hole or into the filled 55 gallon tank?
    My tank is filled with 55 gallons of water. Do I add the concentrate into the filled tank or into the smaller tank reservoir through the small opening into what appears to be a small tank opening to the larger tank?
    A
    We are not exactly sure what set up you have, but normally people just have a 55 gallon tank and they pour the solution, in this case the Pyranha 1-10 PX, directly into the 55 gallon drum.  However, we are not familiar with your set up that has an additional small tank and we recommend you look for a brand name or sticker with the manufacturers phone number and try to contact them directly to be sure.

    Pyrethrins (e.g. RipTide) isomerize and lose strength when cooked in a misting system barrel that heats up in the sun. What is the story with Pyranha and heat? Thanks.

  • Asked by Louise from Houston, Tx
    06/17/2014
    Q
    Standing water
    Would it be effective to pour some of this directly into some standing water to prevent mosquitoes from breeding? Or should I spray the Pyranha over it so that some of it settles on top the water? Also, to keep my potted plants from drying out inbetween rains, I leave them in large saucers that catches the extra water until it is absorbed. I don't want these saucers to breed mosquitoes. What if I pour a tiny bit into a saucer -- will this prevent mosquito breeding? What happens when the saucer dries up? Is there sufficient Pyranha residual left on the dry bottom or do I need to add more Prranha each time I fill the saucer with water? Will fogging in the area leave some residual Pyranha on the surface of water filled saucers?
    A

    No, this product should be used as directed in a misting system. If you are needing something to put directly into the water, try BTI Mosquito Dunks. These will treat for 30 days or more. One dunk treats 100 sq. ft. of surface water, no matter what the depth is. The mosquito dunks are also labeled for potted plants.

    If you are looking for something to spray, I would advise using Bifen I/T mixed with an IGR (insect growth regular), such as Nyguard. This product lasts for up to 7 months, preventing the mosquitos (as well as other pests) from reproducing.

    No, pouring the product into a saucer will not create a residual. Pyranha is meant to be used in a misting system. Misting in the area will leave a slight residual due to the permethrin in the product.
