How long it takes the insects such as bedbugs or roaches to die after they come into contact with a treated area of Transport Mikron Insecticide will depend on a number of factors. It will depend on the maturity of the insect as well as how long they stayed on the treated area, how long it has been since the area was treated and the concentration that was used to treat the area. Typically it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so for them to die.
Transport Mikron is labeled to be used in food handling areas, but per the Label, it cannot be used in the cabinets. You can use a product like Cy-kick Aerosol in the cracks and crevices of the cabinets. Be sure that all food and food handling items are removed.
It is not necessary to mix two insecticides together. If you are wanting to make your product work faster, we would recommend using something like ExciteR. This is used when you want a faster knockdown of pests. When mixing anything together, we would mix a small amount together to ensure there is no clumping.
Apply Transport Mikron Insecticide to tufts, seams, folds, and edges until moist. Allow to dry before remaking bed. It should not be applied to surfaces of furniture where there will be skin contact.
No, Transport Mikron Insecticide cannot be used inside of any fogger. This product is only meant to be used inside of a hand pump or backpack sprayer.
Transport Mikron Insecticide should not be applied during rain. It could be washed away before having time to dry. Please treat when you are not expecting rainfall within 24 hrs after it dries.
Transport is definitely a great product and one of the many choices out there for bedbug control concentrates. The main one we recommend is Temprid FX but it is also a dual ingredient product like the Transport Mikron is for increased control. The biggest thing to remember is that using just one residual product like Transport or Temprid is not enough to get rid of the bedbugs since they cant be sprayed in all the areas and surfaces where bedbugs hide that need to be treated at the same time as the spraying to effectively eliminate them.
If bedbugs have been found in the home you will want to follow our detailed bedbug guide which will take you through each step necessary to completely eliminate the population. As you go through the guide linked below you will see the non chemical steps (such as washing and drying clothes and linens) as well as chemical steps including where and how to use each product. Our Bed Bug kits are the best route to make sure you are using the best products on the market and without breaking the bank. Each kit is designed to treat a different size home or number of rooms, so you can choose the one best suited to the areas you have effected by the pest problem. The kits come with all the products need to do a complete treatment in all the places bed bugs can hide and enough product to complete roughly 4 repeat applications. Since every home and infestation is different you will want to do diligent and meticulous treatments with the products every 7-14 days until you can go 30 days in a row with no signs of live bed bugs and no new bites on the occupants of the home. If you have any questions regarding info you see in our guide or the products within the kits please let us know and we would be more than happy to assist you.

Either Insect Transport Mikron Insecticide or Talstar P would be a great choice for general insect control around the house. Transport Mikron contains both bifenthrin and acetamiprid in a newer formulation that offers excellent control of spiders and many other common insects. Be sure to apply Transport Mikron according to the product label. See our Spider Treatment article for more information about spider control.
Transport Mikron Insecticide is not labeled for broadcast spraying indoors on flooring. It is strictly a crack and crevice treatment product for around the perimeters of rooms (baseboards), around window sills, door frames, etc. It may not be applied to hardwood flooring. For further instructions on how to use this product please refer to the product label.
Transport Mikron Insecticide is labeled for many insects including ticks, chiggers, and gnats, but it can not be applied to lawns. It is applied as an exterior perimeter spray. Onslaught is a great product for chigger control. Treatments for chiggers should begin in April/May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkept areas of the lawn and lawn edge. You can also use Onslaught to do a barrier treatment around the outside of your home and in your crawl space to stop pests from moving indoors. It is labeled for ticks and many other pests.
No, Exciter will not make Transport Mikron Insecticide a repellent. This is only added to the product to help it work faster.
Transport Mikron Insecticide can have a residual of up to 30 days outside and up to 90 days inside.
Yes, Transport Mikron Insecticide can be used in an attic for spiders, including the brown recluse. You will mix 1.25 oz per gallon of water. Apply as a coarse, low pressure spray to areas where these pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors, and windows, attics, and eaves, behind and under dishwashers, refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, and stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices.
Transport Mikron Insecticide is water-based.
Transport Mikron Insecticide can be safely used in a home with pets as long as the pets have been removed from the area during the treatment. They can safely return after the treated area has dried
