Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is a crack and crevice treatment insecticide. Indoors, you can use the Phantom to treat around baseboards, window sills, door frames, etc. If you are treating for an active bed bug infestation, then you can use the insecticide every 4 weeks until you can go 30 days without any signs or bites from the bed bugs. Please refer to our Bed Bug Guide on how to properly identify and treat for a bed bug infestation. Keep in mind that Phantom is not for sale to individuals in New York State without a Pest Control Operator's license, but many of our Bed Bug Kits are available to you.
Phantom can be used indoors for ants but is limited to cracks and crevices that could be used for entry outdoors such as window frames, and where pipes/wires enter the home. It is not for spraying the perimeter of the homes foundation. Temprid FX would be a more appropriate product for use indoors and out for ants and many other insects around the home and yard. Temprid is pet safe once dry as long as label instructions are followed.
Applying Nyguard Plus over areas treated with Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide could null the nonrepellent factor of the Phantom. You can instead just use the Nyguard IGR or Gentrol IGR in the areas to benefit from using an insect growth regulator. The Nyguard Plus can then be applied the carpets as needed for carpet beetles.
Yes, Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is labeled to control centipedes.
If you were to wash an area where Phantom Termiticide Insecticide was applied, you likely will need to reapply. If the area needs to be washed, do that first and then apply the Phantom.
Phantom Termiticide Insecticide is labeled for bedbugs and it can be mixed with an IGR. However, Nyguard IGR is not labeled for bed bugs. There is only one insect growth regulator labeled for bedbug control, which is Gentrol IGR. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article/videos on How to Get Rid of Bedbugs.
There is no actual wait period because the product have differing active ingredients. We also wanted to comment that is completely normal to see bedbugs two weeks after the Phantom application. Bedbugs must be treated in multiple treatments to eliminate the infestation. Please take a moment to read over our bedbug treatment guide: https://www.domyown.com/how-to-get-rid-of-bed-bugs-a-449.html
Phantom is safe if used as directed. Everyone other than the person applying the product should be out of the area during application but can safely return once dry, normally 1-2 hours.
