  • Asked by Rick from Seattle, Wa.

    Q
    Will Phantom hurt frogs (Pacific Tree Frogs)?
    A
    We do not think Phantom will hurt the frogs but it will kill their food source which will reduce their numbers as they will move on to look for food in other areas. Be sure not to spray the product on the frogs.

    Q
    Our bathroom was treated on March 15th by drilling holes and putting Phantom in it. Now we have a leak!
    underground and i am wondering if the phantom pesticide is safe when the dirt is exposed. Again there is a leak underground so there is a big possibility that the treated ground is getting wet. Is this safe? i have a big hole in my bathroom. We live in a small apartment and have young children in home youngest 6 months, 8 yrs old and 2 adults. How should i cover these.?
    A
    Phantom is labeled for and used daily in homes for bedbug control and is even labeled to be applied to upholstered furniture and mattresses so the exposed soil should not present any problems to your family.

    Q
    I use Phantom to control bed bugs if I added ExciteR to the mixture would this be more beneficial
    A
    Exciter is designed to be mixed with insecticides to give them a faster knockdown but the only products you would not want to use ExciteR in are non-repellent products like Phantom

    Q
    Do you have a smaller bottle Phantom I can use for Bed Bugs?
    I have bed bugs and cant reed of them . I need help bad I have kids and on a fixed income. I have heard this is the best for them . Do u have a smaller bottle I can get please so I can spray. Thanks Barbara
    A
    Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide 20 oz is the smallest quantity of liquid concentrate. You may want to look into the Phantom Aerosol 17.5 oz cans. Mattress treatments must be confined to the seams, folds, and edges only. Remove linens and wash before reuse. Allow to dry before remaking bed. Use as a crack and crevice or spot treatment in areas where insects may harbor.

    Q
    Can Phantom be used to spray on the yard outside for multiple tiny black/brown ants and several ant hills?
    Or would the Complete Ant Kit be better?
    A

    Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is not for yard use or any outdoor perimeter spray treatments. It is limited to spot and crevice treatments around pest entry points on the structure only. You can use the Outdoor/Indoor Ant Kit for outdoor ant control, or a spray like Temprid FX.

    Q
    Is my aresenal good for carpenter ants and arachnids?
    I find big black carpenter ants and their mounds in my Lake tahoe home. I have Bifen IT (I use for ticks), Phantom, Advance 375 A Ant Bait and Optigard. I really like the effectiveness of Phantom, I spray it once every three months on the exterior of my house in the bay area and I never see an ant. Which if any of these should I use or should I get something else?
    A
    Phantom concentrate is really designed for use inside, so we would not recommend spraying it outside. You can spray the Phantom along baseboards and in cracks and crevices inside. Termidor SC is the companion product to Phantom, and it is for outdoor use and is excellent for ant control and is also labeled for spiders. You should not spray on top of baits since this could make them less attractive to the ants. Both ant baits you have are labeled for carpenter ants and would be a good start. We also have a Carpenter Ant Kit that includes baits specifically formulated for carpenter ants.

    Q
    Phantom was applied 1 week ago. Can I mop, or will it lessen its efficacy?
    A
    You can mop the area Phantom was treated, but you would need to reapply the product, as mopping will take it up.

    Q
    roach infestation
    My son's house is infested with roaches after using your product on the roaches I can see can I vacuum them up and then spray the cracks and crevices and can I use it in cabinet where food is stored?
    A

    Limited spot treatment of Phantom dilution can be made to surfaces beneath cabinets, spaces between equipment or expansion joints, surfaces behind sinks, lockers, water pipes, cabinets, or other areas where cockroaches may hide. Reapply, if needed, every 4 weeks or more. Phantom is a popular choice for ants and cockroaches because it can be used in conjunction with baiting.

    Using Phantom along with a roach gel bait like Maxforce FC Magnum along with an Insect Growth Regulator is the recommended treatment program for roaches. Roaches do not smell, taste, or avoid applications of Phantom. This means that Phantom can be used in conjunction with baits (do not spray on top of baits). The residual of Phantom will last for 30 days or longer. Phantom also has a high potency, so fewer applications are needed for effective treatments.

    Maxforce FC Magnum - you get five times the fipronil, plus a new technology called ContactX(TM) which kills roaches by contact as well as ingestion. Place bait under baseboards, sinks, countertops, seats, around water pipes, water heaters, dishwasher equipment, in crack and crevices as well as voids where insects harbor. Inspect bait placements and reapply as needed.

    Gentrol Point Source Packs IGR - This is the "birth control" that will prevent the roaches from being able to reproduce. Gentrol Point Source is a special Roach control device that contains the Gentrol Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) hydroprene for 90-day control of roaches. Activating Gentrol Point Source is as simple as squeezing the raised end of the plastic, adhesive-back device. This releases Gentrol IGR onto a filter paper. From there, it moves up to 75 square feet, damaging adult roaches and preventing them from reproducing. 20 units per box.

  • Asked by Michelle from Charlotte, Nc
    07/28/2015
    Q
    Do you recommend Phantom Insecticide for roaches coming up from the shower drain as well as the sink?
    Our exterminator has used Phantom and an IGR. We are getting ant sized roaches(nymphs?) with brown horizontal stripes on their backs.
    A

    We would recommend Roach Control Kit Rotation A. The products in the kit provide you with two different poisons that they will take back to the colony you don't see to eliminate them at the source, as well as a birth control that will halt the growth of the colony until they die from the other products. You can also review our Roach guide for tons of helpful information for controlling this species effectively. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    11/20/2015
    Q
    Do I have to mix Phantom with anything but water for roach and spider control, and how long does it take to see a difference?
    A

    Phantom must be diluted with water and Gentrol for Roach and Spider Control. Gentrol will break down the reproductive cycle of the roaches. We also recommend to incorporate a bait like Maxforce Magnum into the treatment program for roaches. Please see our Roach Treatment Guide for more information.

  • Asked by Onofre from Chicago, Il
    11/17/2016
    Q
    I have a big flea problem. My first floor is wood, and my second floor is carpeted.
    I fogged with hotshot for fleas on both floors and basement, and I bought Phantom IGR. What is the best way to use this product?
    A

    Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide is an adulticide only, not an IGR, and it is not labeled for fleas.  We would recommend using a product called Nyguard Plus instead, which contains both an insecticide and an IGR.  It can take multiple treatments and lots of vacuuming in between treatments to completely eradicate a flea infestation.  Hard floor surfaces do not need to have products broadcast over them, as they are not habitable for adult fleas. Instead, you should direct the treatment to cracks and crevices around these rooms and in the floors.  Please take a look at our Flea Control Guide for more tips and information on how to do a complete treatment.

    Q
    I have German cockroaches. I've applied Phantom, but it doesn't seem to be working. How long will it take to see results?
    A

    When treating for roaches with Phantom (or any other spray), it is very important to remember that it will take time to fully eradicate them, especially if the infestation is severe.  It would also be a good idea to use a roach bait gel and an insect growth regulator (IGR) along with your insecticide for faster results.  Please take a look at our Roach Control Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent roaches.

    Q
    How effective is Phantom for treating rim joists?
    A

    Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide only has a residual of about 90 days on surfaces.  It should only be used to directly treat active infestations inside wood and not just to the surface of wood for prevention if you are dealing with termites.
