Q

If there is no residual with Shockwave and it kills on contact how can the IGR work properly?
I was wondering, If there is no residual and it kills on contact how can the IGR work properly? I thought that it has to be carried on the mosquito legs.

A

Shockwave does in fact leave a residual. Most fogging concentrates do not leave a residual but with the recent changes to Shockwave and the ingredients that were added to the product such as the IGR and the Esfenvalerate a residual will be left.

Any insects that are present during the fogging will be killed immediately. Insects that come into contact with treated areas after the fogging will be eliminated at a much slower rate.

We apologize but we are not able to give a rate for the use of Shockwave in a fogger for mosquito control. The Shockwave product label specifies, "Do not use this product for area-wide mosquito adulticiding applications." Shockwave can be used for perimeter outdoor control, but it should not be used for thermal fogging outdoors for mosquites. Unfortunately, there are few products remaining on the market for mosquito treatment outdoors using a thermal fogger. We do carry Bonide Bug Beater Yard and Garden Insect Fog, which is excellent for small and/or garden applications. CSI 30-30 Mosquito, Fly, and Gnat Control would be appropriate for larger area applications.

Q

Can I use Shockwave Fogging Concentrate to kill termites, and can I use it in a fogger system in my attic?
We have a small amount of termites showing up in our attic trusses. Can we use this product in a fogger system in our attic? What would be the ratio of the Shockwave to water? Finally, how long will your fogger unit run when filled?

A

Shockwave is not labeled for termites in any way, and fogging is not recommended for them as this method only kills what is out in the open at the time you use it and termites are actually inside wood not out in the open.

Shockwave is not labeled for termites in any way, and fogging is not recommended for them as this method only kills what is out in the open at the time you use it and termites are actually inside wood not out in the open. For treating active infestations of termites you will need to treat the wood they are infesting directly. This can be be done with a product like Boracare if you are treating for drywood termites, or Termidor which is good for subterranean termites and drywood. If you are dealing with subterranean termites it is also recommended to do a trench around the home for prevention and treatment. We have some great advice here if you click through the Identify, Inspect, Treat, and Prevent on the top blue bar.

Q

Mineral Oil usage in Shockwave
What type of mineral oils are recommended in conjunction with shockwave and fogging. I understand that you company sells a citrus type is that acceptable also, or do you have to use just a plain oil. Lastly I understand by reading the mixture to shockwave is a part shockwave to 2.25 parts of mineral oils is that correct? How does the mineral oil not separate from the shockwave in a fogger being it is a water base product pesticide.

Shockwave can be used in standard sprayers following the instructions on the product label. Though 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.

Q

Does Shockwave Fogging Concentrate come in a smaller size? How long does it keep?
I am interested in getting this for mosquito control, as fogging is so much faster than spraying, and this is said to have a residual effect. However, this amount would last me forever! Is there a smaller amount you can purchase, and if not what is the shelf life on this chemical?

A

Shockwave Fogging Concentrate is not available in a smaller size. The shelf life is 3-5 years from the date of purchase if stored at room temperature.
