hope my neighbors feel the same way, the bugs can move over there.
To correct this statement yes it has Carcinogens which can cause cancer but the amount you need to spray is far more then what the average homeowner will be exposed to. It was farmers who used 1000s of gallons of this stuff a month or so that it caused it to
Tell that to the bug/termite guy next time he comes to your house. Tell him you only want vinegar and dawn sprayed around the olace.

Does this come with one of those thin straws you can put on the nozzle for a finer spray?
No. But most have a tip you can Turn to adjust the spray pattern.

Quote from stanclave :
When do people typically spray these? If they see over active ants, spiders populations? Or particularly in any season like before winter ? Thought bugs hibernate in winter ? No ?
1. Perimeter around the home where wall contacts ground. Tells the insects to stop and go back.
2. In front of every door that opens outside (door meets sill) and garage (door meets ground).
3. Bottom edge of any wood doors outside.
4. Wood posts where it meets the ground.

5. To kill a bad indoor intrusion of ants etc quick.

...

Beyond that, you'd use https://www.terro.com/terro-multi...aits-t334b
And roach baits inside the home near doors opening out, kitchen etc in addition to the outdoor perimeter to kill any that get in and try to nest.

...

As for application, it's water based (unlike oil based insecticides you can buy, usually commercial type concentrates), so depends on the weather.

Here in SoCal, no rains, so an application in the beginning of Spring can last all season to fall/winter. More rains to wash it all away, either reapply or use oil based outside.

Keep in mind there's other thing you can do to help.

E.g. Planting dense vegetation that touches the side of your home isn't great. Push the plants out and away a foot or more. Then rocks, concrete, bricks, etc next to the home.

Bugs are out and about all season, but more in some seasons like flies.

Will it kill roaches even if you don't spray directly on them or in their nest?
I doubt it. Bengal gold roach spray is the one to wipe out Roaches.

Buy a 1gal pump sprayer and a bottle of Bifenthrin 7.9% concentrate (this product is less than 1%). Apply along the perimeter of your house (about a foot up the wall) and along the baseboards of the interior. For a $35 investment you can have a lifetime supply of indoor/outdoor bug killer.

Informative thread. Related to the insect killer topic -

I have had yellow jackets in my home sidings. I called the pest control guy, he came and spray the powder and spray through the corner of the siding something. He says to call if any bees/yellow jackets come again for 30 days. So far I have not seen any. He charged $150.

Anyone tell what is the best solution to treat Yellow Jackets to use next season?

https://pestie.com

What is the difference between this pestie ingredients and ortho? Can someone please share experience? Or just marketing gimmick? Thanks
OK deleted my reply because I took a closer look. They're just charging you a lot for some good chemicals that can be had much cheaper. It's a marketing gimmick. Here's what you'll likely get based on where you are:

Temprid FX
Demand Duo
Cyzmic (Generic Demand (non-Duo version))
Arilon which is now Advion WDG

They're good chemicals but you're paying for the marketing and them doing the thinking for you and just telling you to spray what they give you. Also there's no way that b.s. sprayer bag and 'power wand' will last long. It's like that so it looks pretty and can condense into a small, cheap to ship box. You're otherwise paying maybe 3x-10x for the chemical that you can buy elsewhere.

How long does it take for this to dry? Have a couple of kittens and want to make sure it's safe to use. I've noticed ants crawling into my unit when I put cat food near the walls.

Good point. I was about to buy something for "indoor" and checked my concentrate bottle that is 90% full that I bought 4-5 years ago. It's 25% Bifenthrin. I can simply dilute it a little bit more than my usual outside concentration.
