    Q
    Will the Pyrethrin Fogger kill Scabies mites?
    A

    Pyrethrin Fogger is not labeled for scabies. Scabies mites live on/in the skin and we do not carry anything to treat humans. Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of scabies. If you are treating livestock you can look at using a product like Permethrin SFR. You may spray your furniture with a product such as Steri-fab to kill anything on furniture, though treating the home is usually not necessary.

    Q
    How well do roach bombs work?
    A
    Bug bombs such as the CB PCO Fogger, is highly effective at knocking down a large number of roaches at one time. However, bug bombs will only kill roaches that are out in the open and exsposed at the time the bomb is activated. Once the fog disipates, it will no longer be effective and will not continue killing roaches. We would recommend one of our roach control kits. Our kits contain a specialized mix of roach control products that are tailored to the specific needs of the situation, based on several factors such as the size of the infestation, the size of the room or rooms that are affected, and the type of roach that is causing the issue.

    Q
    Is CB PCO Fogger safe for use around pets?
    I have three dogs and want to make sure it is safe to use in the kitchen around them. And if it doesn't kill hidden pests, what will?
    A
    Please take a few minutes to read the CB Pco Fogger product label. All pets and people must leave the home while the fogger is being used and they must remain out of the home for about 2 hours. The home should then be vented by opening the windows and doors for about 30 minutes. After this time period it will be safe for people and pets to return to the home. Unfortunately you did mention what pest(s) you are trying to eliminate which makes it very difficult to recommend a product for your needs. You can look at our Pest Control Kits to see what products we recommend for any given pest. We have put together these kits so that our customers will understand what products they will require for the pest they are trying to eliminate.

    Q
    Will the CB PCO FOGGER kill bedbugs? I'm looking for a fogger for Bedbugs.
    A
    While the CB PCO Fogger will kill exposed bedbugs, it is not recommended for that use. When foggers are released, they simply spray up into the air and then settle down onto surfaces. They do not penetrate into cracks and crevices where bedbugs actually hide. Using a fogger for bedbugs could also irritate the bedbugs and force them deeper into cracks and crevices or into wall voids making effective treatments much more difficult or impossible. There are no foggers on the market that are recommended for bedbugs for these reasons. There are no short cuts for treating bedbugs. You must use multiple products and follow the appropriate guidelines for treating individual items such as clothes, shoes, electronics, etc. We recommend using a bedbug control kit which will come with all of the products you need to do an effective bedbug treatment.

    Q
    How effective is CB PCO Fogger at killing a flea infestation?
    How effective is CB PCO Fogger at killing a flea infestation?
    A

    CB PCO Fogger will only kill those fleas that are exposed at the time you use the product. For fleas infestations we recommend: Foggers are not good for fleas at all.  We sell an indoor flea kit that is the best for fleas indoors.  You must use an IGR (insect growth regulator) for fleas which you cannot use in a fogger.  Our kit is the best option for indoors as it is the same professional products professional companies use.  The most important part of any flea treatment is vacuuming.  You should vacuum before treating and then again every couple days after your treatment.  You should also treat again in exactly 14 days.  There is enough product in our indoor flea kit to treat an average size house twice.  We also carry an outdoor/indoor flea kit that works great for the inside and outside of your home. This kit contains a liquid concentrate and an IGR (insect growth regulator). It is applied using a one gallon hand pump sprayer. When treating the outside, we recommend that you mow your lawn one to two days prior to the application.

    Q
    Will this work for spiders?
    I have a horrible spider problem in my basement which eventually leads upstairs. I want to rid them since I have very young children and not certain which spiders are poisonous and which aren't. As well as the fact that I DETEST spiders. If this isn't the right product, please advise me on what is. Thank you.
    A
    CB PCO fogger is not specifically labeled to treat spiders. We would recommend our spider control kit that includes Demon WP that provides a strong residual kill, Webout which prevents webs and glueboards to catch them walking.

    Q
    will CB PCO Fogger kill bird mites?
    A
    It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with bird mites. Have the suspected bird mite identified by a reputable source, such as your local cooperative extension office or a reputable pest control operator. Treatments will vary for different pests. Treatment for say bedbugs is much different than the treatment for bird mites.  Removal of the infested nest or bird and a thorough cleanup is necessary. For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use MotherEarth Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Apply a thin coat of MotherEarth dust to rugs and carpets. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Let product sit overnight. Repeat application as necessary and vacuum every 3 - 4 days for effective control. MotherEarth dust does not have a fast knockdown, it can take several days for insects to die after they contact the dust. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs.We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good. - See more at: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/cb-pco-fogger-with-pyrethrins-p-314.html?keywords=mites&search_for=questions#questions

    Q
    Will the Pyrethrin Fogger kill booklice?
    A

    Pyrethrin Fogger is not labeled for booklice. The best way to control booklice is by lowering the humidity in the infested areas which in turn will help eliminate the mold and fungus these insects need to survive. Infested furniture and carpeting should be thoroughly steam cleaned and vacuumed. You can spray your furniture with Sterifab to get rid of any lingering insects. Cracks and crevices around baseboards, door frames, window frames, and other harborage areas can safely be treated with Cy-Kick Aerosol. You can also follow up with a dusting of Cimexa dust to help eliminate these pests in carpet and in cracks and crevices around the home.

    Q
    How can I ensure my cats do not receive lethal exposure from CB PCO Fogger?
    Cats are exceedingly sensitive to pyrethrins and pyrethroids, and I note the directions a) don't mention how long I should keep them, or myself, out of the area, and b) make reference to a need to clean surfaces. This may cause problems since cats have a tendency to ingest virtually anything in their environment when it gets on their fur. I'd rather live with bugs than risk harming my cats, so this is a critically important issue for me.
    A
    You must be very careful with this product.  You and all pets need to vacate the house for 3 hours after setting off the CB PCO Fogger.  Once you return you should air the house out and wipe down all floors and food handling surfaces before allowing cats to re-enter the home.  If your cats are very sensitive, then we would probably recommend not using the CB PCO Fogger.

    Q
    Will CB PCO Fogger get rid of fruit flies?
    A
    CB PCO Fogger will help knockdown the adult flies but you will still need to find the source of the infestation to get rid of them for good. Please take a few moments to read our Fruit Fly article to learn more about these pests and how to control them. We do carry Natural Catch Plus Fruit Fly Traps that will attract and trap adult fruit flies flying around the room.

    Q
    Can CB PCO Fogger with Pyrethrins be used for home mite invasions?
    We've had a home invasion of mites for about 2 months now. Nothing seems to completely get rid of these bugs. We're miserable! We are near goats, and chickens regularly, with on of the goats recently having mange, which has somehow transfered to our home....we suspect. Every night we are swarmed with bugs as we sleep. We have used permethrin cream which works on our body but we keep getting reinfested because they are in our home. Please, any suggestions?

    Q
    Will the Pyrethrin Fogger kill a moth infestation in my air conditioning vents?
    A

    Pyrethrin Fogger will only kill moths and other insects that are out in the open at the time you set them off.  The fog will not get into air vents and we do not have anything that you can use in that area.  It might be best to contact a company to come out and clean the ducts if you suspect the moths are infesting that area.

    Q
    Will CB PCO Fogger with Pyrethrins be carried back on ants to kill the queen?
    A

    No, CB PCO Fogger with Pyrethrins does not have a transfer effect. Only the ants that come in direct contact with the application while it is wet will be killed. We do carry two sprays that do have a transfer effect, Phantom for indoor use and Termidor SC for outdoor use and both would be carried back on the worker ants' bodies to the nest. We also carry a full line of ant baits that would be carried back to kill queen ants.
