    Q
    Is this product good on cockroaches or would you recommend gentrol
    A
    You would actually need both products. Transport and Gentrol are two very different concentrates in how they work. Transport Mikron is a liquid insecticide that you would dilute with water and spray for residual control over the roaches and other insects. The Gentrol IGR has no killing properties in its ingredients as it is purely a birth control for the insects. Using an IGR like Gentrol is pertinent in making sure you halt the infestation. You can mix the Gentrol and Transport together in the same gallon of water and spray them at the same time. To see tips on how to best control a roach problem, see our article on How To Get Rid Of Roaches.

  • Asked by Randy from Millstadt

    Q
    Can you Mix Transport Mikron with Talstar P For Mosquitoes?
    Can you mix these to for a more potent kill on Mosquitos
    A
    Transport Mikron and Talstar P are not labeled to be mixed together and doing so would not benefit you or give you better control. It might actually make the control less effective since you dont want the mosquitoes to be repelled by the product and if you put it too strong you can cause this to happen.

    Q
    How effective is Transport Mikron in killing biting midges in my home?
    I"ve had biting midges in my home for over a year now, and nothing i have tried has worked. i've tried Tastar P, Tempo Sc,Onslaught,etc. Will this work, and how do i use it?
    A
    Transport Mikron Insecticide should kill midges that come in contact with it. You have used great products that should have taken care of the problem. Are you positive you are dealing with Midges? Using the Flyweb Flylight could be of help here as well. We would also recommend to contact your Cooperative Extension Office for an identification.

  • Asked by Scott from Newport, Ky
    07/26/2017
    Q
    What product do you recommend to use in addition to Transport Mikron?
    I see on the label it says should not be used alone. So far it has been super effective (first treatment) and will continue treatments. We are also VERY diligent about heat treating clothing, bedding, etc. as well as alcohol applications to surfaces.
    A

    We recommend to incorporate dusting with Cimexa in wall voids and also using Bedlam to seams and folds of upholstered furniture as well as cracks and crevices of night stands and bed frames as well as applying Transport Mikron Insecticide. Please see our Bed Bug Treatment Guide for more tips on how to eradicate this pest.

    Is transport Mikron safe to use in a house with a pregnant woman?
    A
    As long as the pregnant women and anyone else not doing the application of the product are out of the home while its being sprayed and at least several hours aftewards until all surfaces have completely dried it should be safe. That being said, we encourage all pregnant women to contact their doctor with any chemical concerns of products being used in the home as everyone's sensitivity to a product will be different.

  • Asked by Mary from Clementon, Nj
    11/15/2018
    Q
    When can I clean & what can I use to clean after treating with Transport Mikron?
    How long after getting treated for bed bugs with Mikron, can I wash down surfaces without nullifying the product? Also, is it safe to use ammonia wipes to clean surfaces or should I stick to just regular soap/water?
    A

    All baseboards, cracks and crevices can be and should be cleaned before treatment. The diluted solution of Transport Mikron Insecticide can then be sprayed in those areas. Wiping the treated areas with any type of chemical can clean off some or all of the residual, making the treatment ineffective. For bed bug treatments, you can clean up and re-treat with Transport once every 7-14 days.
