do you have to spray the bugs directly or just treat the infested area?

The spray only works on the bugs that get sprayed. I was disappointed with the spray since I thought it was going to have a residual effect. I sprayed my whole couch and then a few hours later I spotted a few bugs crawling around on it. As for the bugs that happen to be hanging out and get sprayed well it kills them immediately.

I treated the infested area every other day with the spray along with steaming the mattresses, carpets and wood furniture. Took about 6 months of constant work but it finally paid off. I've been bed bug free now for 2 or 3 years. I must warn you that the spray's aroma is very heavy but it does work.

Treat infected areas and spray curtains, rugs, and furniture. Then close all the windows and leave the house.

I ended up not using the spray and called in an exterminating company - I have cats and was concerned about using the spray since there were not any warnings listed.

You should if you are spraying a large area. The area I had was small, so I didn't use one. They do advise you to leave the area ASAP and not disturb it for at least two (2) hours. The Precon is the same product the professionals use and this will get rid of the bugs the first time. Hope this helps.

Debrainer, In fact mosquitoes are easy to kill so any of the listed concentrates you mentioned will do the job. In other words, they're all equally effective. But when it comes to mosquitoes (and other flying pests), the real key to success is not the product you use but instead, how you apply it. And if you refer to our site for details in our mosquito article, you'll learn that "mist blowing" is by far the best way to treat. So if you're only spraying using a traditional pump sprayer or hose end sprayer, you'll only get marginal results. But if you use a good misting machine - electric or gas powered like the ones we mention in our article - you'll get amazing results. This is primarily due to the mist covering everything compared to a liquid which barely touches 10% of what you think you sprayed. And by covering everything, there is no place for the targeted pests to hide. In summary, focus more on the equipment you're using for mosquitoes, noseeums, biting flies, gnats, etc. and not the active if you're looking to get the best results. And by matching up the right equipment for the area you're needing to treat, you'll be able to get incredible results using any of the actives you asked about.

From what I read on the manufacturer's site when I first purchased this is that it may harm them only if it is DIRECTLY sprayed on them. This is also why the recommend spraying early in the morning or late in the evening. When I spray, I actually walk backwards in hopes of disturbing anything in my path. I also use the end of the sprayer and shake it in bushes and plants to scare anything out, so as not to spray them directly. I use this about every two weeks on the perimeter of my yard and I honestly have fewer mosquito's and just as many bees and butterflies in my gardens/yard. I use specific plants to attract them as well. Hope this helps.

The insecticide will kill the lady bugs. You don't need insecticides when you use the bugs, they ladies will do all of the work. Just make sure you have enough of them.

Don't know about the eggs. I assume it kills the larva on contact since it stopped the bugs dead in their tracks but it also doesn't have any residual effect either. A few hours after spraying it on pillows and my couch I found bugs crawling on the areas I had sprayed. I was disappointed. Since my epidemic was pretty much isolated to my couch and somewhat to my bed (soon as I discovered them I quit sleeping in my bed so they didn't multiply there). I eventually ended up hauling all my furniture out to the curb (it was old), put encasement's on my mattress and box spring and then moved 1,200 miles away. I haven't seen a bug since moving thank God. Good luck. Don't know about the eggs.

Only outside. It does a great job there. It's pretty big/heavy to hang indoors, I would think. I have to clean it daily or the dead bugs stink pretty good. Also it makes a good bit of noise when it's zapping the bugs. Maybe under a patio area or garage but I wouldn't use it anywhere else inside

It will help. Once "infestation" is at hand no organic spray will knock everything out. A good clean up of the area and regular spraying won't hurt.

Yes I had to leave the room for a couple of hours since I spray the whole room. I usually spray in the morning before I go to work. And no I have not tried using it on other bugs.

Not sure. Directions don't say but probably more effective sprayed or dusted directly on diseased shrub etc.

Yes, this is actually one of the failsafe ways to kill bedbugs as they quickly grow resistant to pesticides. You will have to spread it all over rooms where you find the critters. You can also buy special cups to put around the feet of your bedframe to fill up with DE; that way, the bugs will crawl down the feet and through the powder.Be patient, though. DE works mechanically by scraping their exoskeletons and dehydrating them. It may take you a couple weeks or more to kill off all the bedbugs.

I'd be inclined to use the spray. Quicker & looks like is as effective. Either will get the job done.

If you mix this in a spray bottle with a very small amount of dish soap and fill with water, spray the area where the bedbugs are, let it dry, can use on the baseboards or where ever is needed. It is organic cannot hurt you. but don't use straight mix with water and soap.

Any time. BTW - this product is awesome for general pests inside and out. It's especially good for spiders and ticks.

These traps do capture SOME of the aphids. But if you're seriously infested, it's, at best, a partial solution. What I ended up doing because I also didn't want to spray was to use these sticky traps and -- don't laugh -- vacuum the leaves of the plants to remove the remaining bugs. It worked quite well.

If you're talking about catching one after another, but leaving them in the container, yes. You can suck up one bug, re-compress the chamber, and then suck up more bugs. The first one will not be able to get out. I have done this twice. Then you can empty them all at once.

Absolutely not. These critters don't live in the walls of your house, near the frequencies emitted by the device along the wires. Nor will they affect critters in your crawl space if you have one, away from wiring, or spiders up on the outside of the walls/ceilings. But they've kept the bugs out of my house for 16+ years, and I haven't had to spray.
