    Q
    I have Phantom, Gentrol and Temprid sc. What is a good schedule apply for bed bugs?
    Can I spray all at once in same locations? Can they be mixed?
    A
    Phantom Aerosol should only be used once every four weeks. Gentrol and Temprid should be mixed together in a pump sprayer and applied every 7-14 days. You should not apply the Phantom and the Gentrol/Temprid mix to the same locations as it is not needed. Phantom should be used in cracks and crevices at a maximum rate of 2 seconds of spray per linear foot and the Gentrol/Temprid mix should be applied to other areas of the room such as baseboards, window frames, door frames, bed frame, etc. Please read over our Bed Bug Treatment Guide for more information regarding bed bug treatments.

    Q
    Is Phantom II Aerosol Spray (or any you have) good for treating tobacco beetles quickly and safe to use on the carpet/fabric in a vehicle?
    I have tobacco beetles in my car and I need to get rid of them ASAP. It is hard to drive because I see a couple always flying and when I see them, I get itchy.
    A

    We would recommend that you vacuum and steam the inside of the vehicle first. You can then apply a product to the seats and carpet called Steri-Fab. This will kill insects on contact and while wet. When the treated areas have completely dried, apply Cy-Kick Aerosol to the cracks and crevices.

    Q
    Can I spray Phantom and then later on spray Bedlam over the same area?
    Can I spray Onslaught and Phantom over the same area at different intervals? There is a small spot area underneath my computer table where the bugs are especially active and probably live between the floor tiles. I would like to spray the Phantom for long-term control and the Onslaught or Bedlam for more immediate control.
    A
    You should apply one or the other, but not two in the same place.  All of the products you had mentioned are very good products and it really is overkill to apply two in the same place.  Bedlam and Onslaught may work a little quicker than Phantom and because of this it would not benefit you to spray Phantom over another product.  The Bedlam and Onslaught will kill the bugs just the same, and adding Phantom would not make them work quicker or more effectively.  All of this being said it would not hurt anything to apply Phantom over the same area, but it would not be very cost effective.

    Q
    Can I apply Phantom even though the label says use "only by individuals/firms licensed or registered by the state"?
    Hi, your label says For sale to, use and storage only by individuals/firms licensed or registered by the state to apply termiticide and/or general pest control products. But from what i see, my state (MA) only requires a valid license (one of many types) or certification if the person is apply pesticides in public and private places used for human occupation and habitation - with the exception of residential properties with three or less dwelling units. -http://www.mass.gov/eea/docs/agr/pesticides/licensing/docs/bulletin/examination-bulletin-complete.pdf Would this mean that as tenant in a 3 dwelling building i could use (restricted us) Phantom here?
    A

    Phantom II Aerosol Spray is not listed as a restricted product to MA and the wording on the label is not law or enforceable.  Some product labels do say for licensed pest professional use only but that is just the manufacturers wording and it is not law. The manufacturer would like to limit the purchase of the product to Pro's only because of course they will make more money on the products if they can only be sold to a select few. Each individual state gets to decide if a product can be used in the state and if so if they will restrict its use to professionals. On our website you will see several products that say "cannot be sold to NY, CT" or other states and those are states that have restricted the use of the product by individuals. Other states do allow you to sue the product, but only on your own property. You cannot use the products to treat other peoples property for profit unless you are licensed. Some states do have certain restrictions for what they allow homeowners to do though and you would need to check with your local restrictions as well as what is in your lease in terms of pest control you are responsible for or able to do being that you are not the owner.

    Q
    Will PT Phantom II Pressurized Insecticide deter stink bugs from collecting on my windows and doors?
    I'm looking for an aerosol spray that I can spray on windows & doors to deter stink bugs from congregating there. Terminix was using some type of aerosol spray inside my home in the windows and stink bugs never hung out afterwards. I am now looking for something similar. Would this be helpful in that manner? I'm tired of having to knock all the stink bugs off my front door with a broom before being able to go in and out. Thanks!
    A

    PT Phantom II Pressurized Insecticide is labeled to be used on stink bugs however would not be a contact or repel them from windows, doors, etc. This is a non repellent that works slowly and goes undetected by insects as they land on the treated area. For Stink Bugs, you will apply to cracks and crevices where these insects may harbor, congregate or hibernate and around window and door frames.

    For a quick knockdown aerosol, Precor 2625 Premise Spray would be a great choice. Repeat as necessary but not more than once a week. 

    Here is our How to Get Rid of Stink Bugs Guide for more information. .

    Q
    What would be best to use in/around a portable dishwasher in a kitchen with a mild German roach problem?
    The portable dishwasher has a big block of cement at the bottom to keep it from tipping over when a tray full of dishes is brought out onto the open door. There is a space below where the door hinges from where I might be able to insert a tool to apply dust or spray. I don't know whether this space is open to the motor etc. If I put something like a "roach motel" in I would not expect to be able to retrieve it later. I would rather not use anything that is an attractant as I may not have roaches in there right now.
    A

    We would recommend using Phantom Aerosol spray to help eliminate roaches around the dishwasher. Phantom Aerosol is not an on-contact kill. The reason we recommend this product treat roaches in these situations is because the roaches travel through the treated areas and then transfer the active ingredient into the voids to the other roaches, creating a domino killing effect.

    Q
    IS PHANTOM AEROSOL GONNA HELP ME BETTER THAN BEDLAM ?
    I HAVE TREATED THE HOUSE WITH BEDLAM AND ALSO HAVE BED BUG MATTRES COVERS ALSO I HAVE APPLY DIATOMACEOUS EARTH IN THE BED FRAMES AROUND THE BOTTOM OF MY WALLS IN THE CONERS I HAVE TRIED HOT SHOT BED BUG/FLEA KILLER IN THE WHOLE HOUSE I AM IN THE POINT I CANT ANY MORE I JUST ORDER THE PHANTOM AEROSOL FROM YOU GUYS I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO MY LITTLE 3YR IS THE ONLY ONE AND I GETTING BITTEN I WASH MY SHEETS WITH HOT WATER I STEAM CLEAN THE FUNITURE AND EVERYTHING I CAN IS THIS MY LAST AEROSOL I NEED TO USE TO SEE IF THAT WILL HELP?
    A
    Phantom Aerosol will leave a longer residual than Bedlam. Bedlam is used as a contact kill and leaves approx a 2 week residual. Phantom Aerosol can be sprayed along the tufts, folds and seams of the mattress and in the bed frame, box spring and along the cracks and crevices of furniture, etc. In addition to using a dust in wall voids and box spring areas, we recommend using Temprid SC around the perimeters of the room. Apply as a crack and crevice treatment to all baseboards, moldings, beneath floor coverings and carpets, closets, shelves, curtains, furniture and picture frames that may provide harborage to bed bugs. Temprid SC can be re-applied every 7 to 10 days as needed.
