  • Asked by Billy from Southport
    02/20/2018
    Q
    Does Shockwave work against bed bugs?
    A

    It is not recommended to fog a house for bed bugs with Shockwave or any other product.  Studies show that fogging for bed bugs can make a problem worse and make them spread out more.  Also, bed bugs have shows signs of being resistant to pyrethrin products and since most fogging solutions are made with pyrethrin in them, most do not work and do not provide enough kill ratio.  We recommend using one of our bed bug kits which contain the same types of products that professional companies and are proven to work under current bed bug strains. The kits have a very high success rate and come with full instructions on how to apply the products properly.

    Q
    What is the best product for spider mites that can be used in a thermal fogging machine?
    A

    We would not recommend fogging for spider mites and we do not have a product labeled to do so. We recommend that you select a product that is specifically labeled for spider mites for the area you need to treat and on the plants you need to treat.  Please see our article on Spider Mite Control for more information.

  • Asked by Patrick from New York, Ny
    08/19/2011
    Q
    Does Shockwave have a scent? If so, how quickly does it dissipate?
    A
    Shockwave does have a slight odor when first dispensed, but it does dissipate quickly.  If you are using Shockwave indoors as a fog than of course you need to vacate the premises for at least 3 hours after fogging.  If you are using Shockwave outside in a misting system of fogger, then you can re-enter the area much sooner.

    Q
    Will Shockwave Fogging Concentrate when mixed with mineral oil kill any type of vegetation?

    Shockwave Fogging Concentrate will not kill any vegetation since it is an insecticide and not a herbicide. We do recommend making applications in early morning or late evening and not during the heat of the day to prevent any burning on foliage.

  • Asked by Cathryn from Kansas City, Mo
    08/14/2013
    Q
    Has there been any success using Shockwave fogging to kill bird mites
    Currently battling bird mites in the home. I've tried a cedarcide product in a ULV fogger with little success in getting rid of the bird mites. How good would this product be?
    A

    We honestly have not had any feedback from anyone using Shockwave for birdmite control. Below you will see our recommendations for birdmite control:

    For treatment in the home we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use MotherEarth Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Apply a thin coat of MotherEarth dust to rugs and carpets. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Let product sit overnight. Repeat application as necessary and vacuum every 3 - 4 days for effective control. MotherEarth dust does not have a fast knockdown, it can take several days for insects to die after they contact the dust. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs.We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.

  • Asked by Gary from Denton, Tx
    08/29/2013
    Q
    Will Shockwave kill birdmites?
    A
    Shockwave will kill spider mites, but only the ones that come in contact with it. We recommend using a product that has a residual like Onslaught Insecticide. Onslaught Liquid Insecticide is micro-encapsulated, meaning that after the product is sprayed, the active ingredient is released slowly over time, producing long-lasting residual control of insect pests. Also, please review our Bird Mite Control page.

  • Asked by Scott from Cape Coral
    06/17/2021
    Q
    Could Shockwave Fogging Concentrate be used near my horses, cows, and chickens?
    Or would they need to be separated from sprayed areas? I'd like to fog the entire farm all at once.
    A

    Shockwave Fogging Concentrate is not labeled to be used around barns or livestock at all, so this application is not recommended.  Pyranha Bug Armor would be a better choice for the area and is widely used.  

    As long as you keep animals/children out of the area while you treat and until the product has had time to completely dry or settle it is safe for pets and people to return and resume normal activity, typically after a few hours.

  • Asked by Trevor from Pflugerville, Tx
    06/27/2014
    Q
    Is there a long-term product for a propane fogger?
    Many of the responses refer customers to products like Talstar to control pests where a residual or long-term effect is desired. Talstar is not recommended for propane foggers. Is there a product available for propane foggers with a residual/long-term effect especially for mosquitos?
    A
    Foggers are mainly used to provide quick initial knockdown. After you will apply a residual like talstar depending on what you are treating. Shockwave can be used in a ULV or Thermal fogger and also provides a residual.

    Q
    Will Shockwave Fogging Concentrate leave a film on floors when applied using a fogger indoors?
    A

    While Shockwave Fogging Concentrate is labeled to be applied to walls, floors, and other surfaces indoors, it is oil based so there is a possibility of an oily residue left behind. Any open floor spaces can be cleaned with soap and warm water to remove any unwanted residual. 

    Please view the product label for more information.

    Q
    Can Shockwave Fogging Concentrate be tank mixed with Cyzmic CS in a backpack sprayer to kill scorpions?
    A

    Shockwave Fogging Concentrate is only for use in a ULV Fogger and cannot be applied using a backpack or handpump sprayer.  

    An alternative for a fast kill and residual inseticide against scorpions would be Onslaught Fast Cap Spider and Scorpion Insecticide which contains a powerful combination of active ingredients for multiple modes of action but cannot be tank mixed with Cyzmic CS. Please view the full product label for more information. 

    Cyzmic CS is mixed at 0.2 to 0.8 fl oz per gallon of water with the 0.8 fl oz being recommended for scorpions. 
     
    Please view our Scorpion Treatment Guide for more information.
