Transport Mikron Insecticide should not be applied to lawns/turf per the product label instructions. You can apply as a perimeter treatment to cracks and crevices and other listed areas for insect control around the home. If applied and dried to the appropriate areas, it will be safe for children to return. They should remain out of the areas during application and while surfaces are still wet. Rainfall will not reactivate those crevices. The product application will remain safely during the residual time. For more information on eradicating ticks, please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Ticks. We recommend the Outdoor Flea/Tick Kit for treatment.
Transport Mikron Insecticide is not labeled for Crazy ants and would not be a very effective treatment. We recommend using our Raspberry/Carribean Crazy ant kit.
Transport Mikron Insecticide would only be effective against beetles that contact the outside treated surface of areas it is applied. It will not affect beetles that are already inside the wood. For active wood boring beetles we typically recommend using Boracare.
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.
Phantom is only labeled to be applied once every 4 weeks. You should wait to retreat the same area with Transport Mikron. You can apply Gentrol IGR. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Bedbugs for a successful eradication program.

Because these products are used differently, we would not recommend to mix NiBor-D Insecticide with Transport Mikron. The best way to eradicate roaches in the home is to use a combination of a residual spray, roach bait and insect growth regulator. Sanitation is key to a successful roach treatment; the chemicals can only do so much, so you need to be aggressive and consistent with treating. Follow up treatments are required every 10-14 days. We recommend reviewing our step-by-step roach treatment guide.
It is recommended that you do not store product in your sprayer and that you clean out your sprayer between applications with other products and after each use (using any chemical in it). It is a good idea to use a proper spray tank cleaner between applications of repellents and non-repellents such as Transport Mikron.
If you want a fast knockdown by using a contact killing product, you may use ExciteR Insecticide. It is a good idea to have some sort of residual control though so that the product will remain effective even after it has dried. Normally, for wasps, we recommend our Wasp and Hornet Control Kit which includes a residual, microencapsulated insecticide called Cyzmic CS and a contact killing aerosol product called Wasp Freeze. Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Wasps Guide for more information and helpful tips on eradicating this pest.
Transport Mikron Insecticide is a little different from a product like Phantom or Alpine WSG in that it has two active ingredients. So while the faster-acting bifenthrin will not have a transfer effect, the longer-residual acetamprid will have some transfer effect. This combination can be helpful in giving some visible results while also providing some transfer effect. We still recommend coming this with a Roach Bait Gel and an Insect Growth Regulator for best results. Please read our roach control guide for details on roach treatments.
When actively treating for bed bugs with Transport Mikron Insecticide, it's recommended to reapply once every 7-14 days.

Also, please take a moment to review our Bed Bug Control Guide for more information and helpful tips on eradiating this pest.
