Sector Misting Concentrate is primarily used in 55 gallon drum misting systems set up around a structure for contact kill and knock down of pests in the immediate area. It is not a long term residual product, so its often reapplied every few days if you are just looking for knock back of the current population of bugs for several hours to a day or so. If you are using it as a premise spray around the foundation, it recommends reapplying after 2 weeks.
Sector Misting Concentrate should not be sprayed near bird housing and birds need to be removed from areas to be treated prior to the treatment.
Sector Misting Concentrate is mostly used in misting systems, however if you are following the instructions for use for general treatments outdoors, you would need to give at least 24 hours after an application before rain or irrigation occurs to allow the product time to work and to dry to the surfaces they were applied to.
Sector Misting Concentrate can be reapplied in 7-14 days after the first initial application if used as a spray treatment under its label instructions. If used in a misting system with a drum and nozzles, the product is often dispersed at whatever frequency you have your system set to go off, which can be 1-3 times a day in most instances for knock down of flying pests.
Unfortunatley, if the buildup of Sector Misting Concentrate has alread hardened and/or absorbed into the wood, complete removal may be impossible.
We do carry Absorb Plus Water-Based Chemical Absorbent that can be used to clean up water based spills from insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc however it is advised to apply when the liquid is still present on the surface. If there is hardened buildup, this may not be effective for your desired results.

The manufacturer of Sector Misting Concentrate is MGK, they can be reached at 800-645-6466 for more information on how to remove their product from surfaces.

We have not heard complaints about either Sector Misting Concentrate nor Riptide clogging nozzles on misting systems when used as directed. Either would be a good option with the Sector having slightly longer repellancy in the area of 2-3 days vs 1-2 with Riptide.
Sector Misting Concentrate is designed for use in a ULV fogger. We do carry thermal fogging concentrates that can be dispersed in a propane fogger.
Sector Misting Concentrate does not leave any type of residual. It is a fogging concentrate that only kills what is out in the open at the time it is applied. It may make an area slightly repellent for 1-3 days but will not kill anything. Vector Ban has the same active ingredient as Sector so the same applies.
Sector Misting Concentrate can be used in misting systems for both spiders and mosquitoes. It does only kill those that are out in the open at the time the system goes off.
We have not heard of Sector Misting Concentrate causing horses to have an allergic reaction. We would recommend for you to contact your vet.
Sector Misting Concentrate works good on mosquitoes for a quick knockdown and does have a residual. With the active ingredients of 10% Permethrin and 10% PBO, it is most commonly usd in misting systems. Sector has 2 of the 3 products we recommend for mosquito control and works great for enclosed areas such as barns and stables.
For outside treatement in a yard, camping area, etc. the combination of Bifen IT, Exponent and Nyguard IGR will be more effective becasue you are using all 3 modes of action. Along with the synergist, Exponent for a fast knockdown(24hrs), you have the 30 day residual of Bifen IT and the IGR to halt the development of juvenile stages of mosquitoes.
A product like Sector is just a contact kill insecticide; once the application has dried, the product is done working. You can use a residual insecticide concentrate such as Cyzmic CS Insecticide for more residual insect control. You may also want to conside turning off lights at night or switching exterior bulbs from white to yellow to attract fewer flying insects at night.
Sector Misting Concentrate is labeled for bees and other flying insects, however it is not labled for carpenter bees if that's what you mean by boring bees. If you are looking for something to use for carpenter bees we would recommend using something like Cyzmic CS or Demon Max as a spray or Tempo 1% dust.
Sector Misting Concentrate can be applied with a gas powered sprayer, but not a pump sprayer. However, you could use a product like Martins Permethrin 10% or DeltaGard Insecticide which both can be used in pump sprayers and around cattle.
Sector Misting Concentrate can be applied using a gas powered sprayer. Please review the product label before application.
