Atticus Talak 7.9% Indoor/Outdoor Insect Control - Bifenthrin Concentrate (1 GAL)

No More Ants in Sight I’ve been battling ants around my property for years, and this bifenthrin concentrate has been one of the most effective solutions I’ve tried. I mixed it according to the directions and applied it around the base of my home, patio, and a couple of problem areas in the yard. Within a day or two, the ant trails that were once constant highways disappeared. Even better, the treatment has held up for weeks, even through light watering and a bit of rain. The gallon size is a real plus—it stretches a long way since you only need a small amount per batch. I’ve already gotten multiple full sprayer loads out of it, and it looks like there’s still plenty left for the season. That makes it more economical than buying smaller bottles or single-use sprays. Effectiveness has gone beyond ants, too. I’ve noticed a big reduction in spiders around shaded corners and even fewer roaches venturing near the garage. The yard feels more comfortable to use without worrying about stepping into trails of pests. A couple of things to keep in mind: the chemical is potent, so gloves, eye protection, and careful handling are necessary when mixing. Also, it’s best to spray when the weather is calm—wind can cause drift, and heavy rain soon after application will shorten its effectiveness. I’ve had the best results spraying on a dry day and letting it set. Bottom line: A powerful, long-lasting, and economical insect control option that keeps ants, spiders, and other pests at bay. If you’re serious about protecting your home and yard, this is one worth keeping on hand.

Bifenthrin (the active ingredient) degrades quickly after mixing with water. I've read 24-48 hours. Best to mix only what you'll use immediately. Using distilled water may help with this but I'd guess most won't bother and in my limited reading about this, hard to draw a solid conclusion. Reportedly, shelf life for the undiluted product in the original container is 3-5 years if kept away from heat and direct sunlight. I'd recommend sealing the container in an airtight, heavy duty plastic bag and storing inside unless you have a climate controlled shed or garage. As for the effectiveness of the product, it's worked well for fire ants (and other ants), chiggars , roaches and other ground insects. It also seems to have greatly reduced the gnat population. I've read that it works well for flys too. Both spend significant time on the ground where they'll come in contact with this product. Worthy product when stored properly and used according to directions. Side note: having a high performing and reliable sprayer to apply this or any product is important, one that will evenly dispense the product at the rate you need, provide reliable long term service. I recommend Smith sprayers. After using box store models over the years, switching to a 2gal Smith (model 190216) was a revelation. Nozzles for just about every need, high quality seals (Viton), a choice between cordless electric and hand pumps in some of their models, accessories and replacement parts. I'm sure there are other great brands but Smith is the only 'serious' sprayer I have experience with. I'm not affiliated with Smith in any way nor do I profit from mentioning them. Promise. Just great sprayers that made a difference for me. Lastly, don't use bleach or acidic products (ie. vinegar) in sprayers that are not designed specifically for this purpose. Doing so will lead to premature failure of seals and plastic parts.

This is one extremely effective indoor/outdoor spray that defeats a multitude of insects. Please read all of the instructions thoroughly before use. It doesn't have an awful off putting smell but please wear all of the personal protective equipment (PPE that is a must) indicated in the instructions. It also states that it's safe for pets once it's dried. The well constructed container is also intelligently designed to dispense the precise amount desired, with zero leakage. Excellent value for the money.

Effective for spiders, palmetto bugs and helps with mosquitoes. So if you don’t have bats in your area to eat the mosquitoes this is your next best option. You’ll need a sprayer for application and this is a mix so read directions. I have dogs and this is a good product for them. I have discontinued my pest control service completely sooooo well worth the $$$$
