    Q
    Can Vector-Ban Plus use to treat bed bugs infestation
    A

    Vector-Ban Plus is labeled for bed bugs but would not be our recommendation in effectively treating an infestation.  It is not recommended to fog a house for bed bugs.  Studies show that fogging for bed bugs can make a problem worse and make them spread out more.  Also, fogging only kills those bugs that are out in the open at the time you are applying. 

    We recommend our bed bug kits which contain the same types of products that professional companies and are proven to work under current bed bug strains. The kits have a very high success rate and come with full instructions on how to apply the products properly.

    Q
    Can I use Vector-Ban Plus in a Solamist system?
    It's a misting system with a 12 gallon tank. The mosquitos are out of control in my backyard
    A

    Per the Solamist Mosquito and Insect Misting System Owners manual: Other brands concentrates may clog nozzles. Use the SolaMist app to reorder and see updated list of approved concentrates

    The SolaMist Pro Concentrate does also have surfactants and other cleaners in the formula which will keep the nozzles clean whereas others do not, for this reason the manufacturer does recommend it as the best product to use in their system.

    Q
    Can Vector-Ban Plus be used to treat scabies?
    A

    Vector-Ban Plus is not used for treating scabies. Unfortunately, we do not deal with the scabies mite because it is not a structural pest, this type of mite only lives for a very short amount of time off of the host and really must be dealt with on the host. Please contact your doctor for scabies mite treatment.
