I will mix up a new batch to spray again but should I wait a month or do it right away at the correct rate?

Q

Zenprox EC says it kills on contact. Does it have an affect on bugs after the solution dries?
Basically does the product work as a boundary. When it dries and bugs cross through the dried product does it still kill or is this product just for on contact kill.

A

Per the manufacturer the Zenprox EC works bests as a contact kill but will continue to kill insects on nonporous surfaces for about 3-4 days after initial application and 4 days on porous surfaces.

Q

I had sprayed down the fenstar about 3 weeks ago will it counter act the zenprox when I spray it?
Bought fenstar kit for bed bugs, doesnt seem to be doing the job so I bought zenprox. Will the two react together in any way or make the zenprox less effective?

A

Both Fenvastar and Zenprox are non-repellents and three weeks time has passed therefore there should not be any counteraction between the two.

Q

Can Zenprox EC be used in a food handling establishment by a professional?
I do my own pest control at home ( thanks to your site) but at my work, I have hired a company that uses Zenprox EC in about 15 of my locations and they are all food establishments. I was wondering if they can use it for non-label use because of a license they have. I am in Missouri if that makes a difference. Thank you for any assistance.
