    Q
    What needs to be mixed with Shockwave Fogging Concentrate or can this be used undiluted?
    The label states to mix with oil but I am not sure what they are referring to.
    A

    The oil recommended to use with Shockwave Fogging Concentrate is referring to a technical grade mineral oil that is commonly found at local hardware stores or farm stores. We do not carry mineral oil for fogging concentrates. 

    Shockwave should be mixed with oil or undiluted (as directed) depending on the insects your targeting and the application site. Please refer to the product label for specifc information.

    Q
    Can Shockwave Fogging Concentrate be used in a 2 Stroke Backpack Sprayer/Mist Blower to treat for pests such as grain weevils in an facility that stores agricultural seed and animal feed?
    A

    Shockwave Fogging Concentrate is only for use in a ULV Fogger and cannot be applied using a handpump sprayer or backpack sprayer/mist blower as this product is designed for use undiluted in mechanical sprayers, which gives particles of aerosol size. 

    View our ULV Fogging Equipment for options to use with Shockwave.

    Once you fog an area, do not remain in treated area. You should be waiting at least an hour or so for Shockwave Fogging Concentrate  to disperse and dry before allowing people, children and pets back in the area.

    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.

    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
    When used in a propane fogger, how long does the residual action last?
    Is it rain proof like talstar pro?
    A
    Honestly the residual activity is going to largely be based on the outdoor elements in your area and how they affect it over time. You could get a 30 day residual however you may only get a 14 day residual of the product. UV rays, rain and other elements will start to break it down over time and there is not an exact amount of time we can tell you for certain it will last. Once the product has dried for at least 6 hours it is typically rain fast and will not be washed right off the treated surfaces. The Talstar will be a much more long lasting spray however when used around the home.

    Q
    Will shockwave kill powder post beetles?
    A
    Shockwave Fogging Concentrate will kill insects that come in contact with it. Since Powder Post beetles dwell inside wood, you want to use a product that will penetrate that wood. We recommend using Boracare.

    Q
    i used this once and shut off cause didnt know how to use will it leave my things oily, do i have to cover tin
    can i put in sprayer
    A

    The Shockwave Fogging Concentrate should be used in a fogging machine. Can you please tell us a little more about where you are treating and what the target pest is? This is an oil-based product, so if used inside a home, it may leave an oily residue on hard surfaces like flooring or counters. Any food, utensils, etc. would need to be removed or covered prior to using this product.

    Q
    Can Shockwave Fogging Concentrate be used to treat an entire home for mites, such as bird mites?
    A

    Shockwave Fogging Concentrate is not labeled for bird mites.It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with bird mites. Have the suspected bird mite identified by a reputable source, such as your local cooperative extension office or a reputable pest control operator. Treatments will vary for different pests. Treatment for say bedbugs is much different than the treatment for bird mites.  If you do indeed have bird mites, you must first find the source of the infestation, usually a bird nest or a dead bird on or in the home. Removal of the infested nest or bird and a thorough cleanup is necessary. 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.

    Q
    Is Shockwave a concentrate? What is used as the dilutant and how do I dilute?
    A

    Yes, Shockwave Fogging Concentrate is a concentrate. It can be used undiluted or diluted, depending on the type of equipment you are using to apply it and where you are using the product (residential, food-handling, livestock premises, etc.). It is recommended to be mixed with mineral oil. The dilution ratio of Shockwave depends on what and how you are treating. For example, when using a space spray you would dilute 1 part Shockwave into nine parts oil. Please refer to the product label for the proper mixing ratio for your needs.

    Q
    Is this product effective on Bed Bugs? After fogging a house, how long before re-entry?
    A
    It is not recommended to fog a house for bed bugs.  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 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.

    This product may be used in homes or businesses, indoors or outdoors around structures, in ULV foggers and mosquito misting systems.

If you want to test a small part of a carpet beforehand, you could - but only apply as directed on the product label.

    06/23/2018
    Q
    Does Shockwave kill most types of ticks?
    Is it harmful to frogs or birds?
    A

    Shockwave is labeled to control brown dog ticks, ticks that may carry Lyme disease, and ticks in general. This product is safe for non-target animals when used as directed. Do not use around water that may contain aquatic life or treat where animals like frogs or birds are known to be present. Keep in mind that Shockwave cannot be used for area-wide pest treatments such as all over your lawn. A great alternative product for area-wide tick control which is not harmful to aquatic life or birds is EcoVia EC.
