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.
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.
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.
Shockwave Fogging Concentrate will only kill those spiders out in the open at the time you apply.
Shockwave Fogging Concentrate is EPA registered and the EPA # is 1021-1810.
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.
We would recommend picking up some mineral oil from a local home improvement or paint store for use in Shockwave Fogging Insecticide.
