Can this be mixed with water and sprayed? Is it effective that way? We are new to the south and not happy with all the cockroachy type critters..yech

No it doesn't work if it gets wet. The way it works is by cutting into the roach and then dehidrateing it, this becomes uneffective if it gets wet.

From what I understand, this cannot be mixed with water. It's method of action depends on it being dry. Once wet, it loses it's ability to work as it is intended.

Hi, Ladyfingers! I checked the label and instructions on the bottle I have, and there was no mention whatever about insects harmed by the spray. The most important caution was to keep pets AND people away from the sprayed area until solution has completely dried. I have used this Roundup for about three years on my rock patio, and have never found an injured bird from the many Mockingbirds and hundreds of dove on my property daily. Hope this helps!

We didn't/haven't tried it, but I'm assuming you can spray with water repellent spray like by Scotchguard or something.

I mixed it up for a dip, then a reserved some for a spray bottle to spray down bedding and to spot spray my doggies. We have 4 dogs, one big 3 small.Didn't notice any adverse reactions. I also sprayed generously around the house and I have a lot less sugar ants too. It is 4 oz for 6.25 gallons of water. 1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon for 1 gallon of water if you need to mix some up for spraying around the house.

yes, permethrin is a great choice to add to the water you make this with. if spraying dogs bedding, etc then use the 10% permethrin stuff. I also recommend k9 advantix 2 for the dogs. I had a terrible infestation and it was not until I did a 3 way action of using this Martins IGR mixed with permithrin and water sprayed inside and out, under and around house and yard, sprayed bedding area carpets, etc. plus put k9 advantix 2 on the dogs that I got the problem under control.

This is the most effective product I have ever used. I`m not sure of the physiology of the various species of roaches, 'cause they're all nasty to me, but after using the product in Florida for the giant super roaches we have down here, it was great. I have no roaches in my house or garage even during the past rainy season when they seem to be at their most active. I would simply use the product or if you think it makes a difference, contact the manufacturer directly.

I used this product indoors to kill cockroaches in kitchen area, which worked great! haven't seen one since I started regular spraying. Hope you find your answer soon

Works to kill a number of pests on growth and in soil, just mix per directions. Spray or water

Yes, use 1 tsp per 2o oz water spray on the leaves. Also kills spiders, ants etc. BTW, simple green also works this way. good luckThe instruction sheet has many ideas for it's useage.

It did not seem to work terribly well for me, but I saw other posts saying it did. The cost isn't too much so if you can afford it, I'd give it a whirl. My vet told me to get those little film canisters (from rolls) and drill holes in them, put a cotton ball inside and saturate it with the product. I put them around the perimeter of the house and sprayed as well. I think the hope is, in the containers, the product will last longer as the rain won't rinse it away. I had pretty good luck with the Scare Crow motion sensor outdoor sprinkler if you'd like to try that. Good luck and God's blessings!

Greg, In general its not a wise choice to spray any kind of concentrate for ants. The reasons are many but the big one is that they can detect most any active. And once they detect it, they'll stay off the treated surface and avoid where its been applied. This will usually force them elsewhere and essentially complicate the situation. And since the ants you see represent less 10% of the local nest, even if you did kill all the ones you see it wouldn't solve the problem. So what do you do? Well for starters, don't spray inside the home. Instead use a bait. Something like Maxforce Ant Gel or Optigard Ant Gel. These options will readily be accepted by any foraging ant and within a few days, be brought back to their nest and once ingested, kill a bunch of the colony. At the same time you should spray the homes exterior with a "non repellent" active such as Phantom, Optigard Flex or Dominion. These actives won't be detectable by the ants and in turn, they'll readily walk over the treatment. This will allow them to "transfer" the active to other members of their colony so when the active finally does "kicks in" and goes to work, it will kill most if not the entire nest. That will usually happen in 3-4 days following the initial application. The good news is any ants surviving this will in turn know to stay away from the old ant trails for fear of something "bad" in the area so even if you don't kill them all, the non repellents will usually take care of the problem by forcing them elsewhere. Give us a call if you need more advice; its kind of hard to explain all of this via a post. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

I'm not sure since we don't have roaches. I would try it. I put some on my cats as a flea powder. It killed the adult fleas on them.

I mix as directed in a garden sprayer and set it to a stream instead of mist and spray the mound. It is working better than anything I have ever used!

That is what I did. I mixed it 50/50 with purified water.Since I am on a drilled water well, I boiled the water. Then let it cool, (but not cold). Put in an equal amount of flakes. Stirred them until the flakes were dissolved.Then put it into a spray bottle... It worked out OK. (No clogged sprayer like I thought might would happen).

With Cypress Oil and salt water it does help eliminate roaches. It is not an overnight success but with time it does work and makes your house spell like peppermint.

Talstar will help. the problem you will have with the German Roachs, is the eggs.the eggs have a wax type coating on them making it very hard for Talstar to get to fetus. Talstar will kill on contact and provide good residual. you need to Fog 1st. and spray at same time. IGR would also suggest Growth inhibitor. to mix with . use a fogger with Pyrethrins . this will kill all bugs and becomes inert. with no residual after 1.5 hr. animals will have to be removed. for about 2hrs etc. air out house . you should have sprayed and everything should be dry. what State are you located in ?
