This product is a favorite of professionals because it is labeled for use in restaurants (and other commercial food areas) and for its powerful action against German Roach populations that are resistant to synthetic pyrethroid insecticides. It also is popular for its ability to stick to stainless steel (where other pesticides often fail) in commercial kitchens. Kills roaches, ants, wasps and other household insects. Should not be used on carpet or upholstery. Acephate Pro, Orthene PCO

DeltaGard G (a.i. Deltamethrin): Granular insecticide which utilizes a unique, water soluble
carrier. Its irregularly shaped granules dissolve completely (leaving no particles that
might be picked up by birds and other non-target species!), delivering the maximum dose of
DeltaGard to the target insects. Packaged in convenient 20 lb. bags which, at the
treatment rate of just 2 lb. per thousand square feet, will treat over10,000 square feet.
This is considerably less than traditional granules, and means you carry a lot less bulk
while still getting the job done properly. Normal residual is up to 4 weeks, depending on
environmental conditions and targeted pests.
DeltaGard
Demon EC (a.i.: Cypermethrin 25.3%): Low odor
liquid concentrate which leaves no visible residue. Gives quick "Knock-Down" for
German roaches and is the product of choice for drenching fire ant mounds. Use 1/2 to 1

Also used in control and elimination of pantry pests such as Grain Beetles (Rusty, Merchant and Sawtoothed), Flour Beetles (Red and Confused), Drugstore Beetles, Rice Weevils, Lesser Grain Borers, Spider Beetles and Tobacco Moths. We have found this dust to be one of the most effective on the market for controlling spiders, scorpions and other household pests.
Ficam Plus (a.i. Bendiocarb 29.45%, pyrethrins 3.06%, Piperonyl Butoxide 7.66%): Ficam Plus is no longer available; use Demon WP, Suspend SC or Talstar Concentrate insecticide instead. Same basic product as FicamW, featuring the addition of pyrethrins and Piperonyl Butoxide for a quick knock-down. Tip: For German Roach populations that are immune or resistant to pesticides, combine Ficam Plus with Acephate for roach elimination.
Flea Fix
(a.i. Nylar) Same as Archer:
Indoor and outdoor IGR which
inhibits the life cycle of fleas and roaches. Can be used alone (for long term
prevention of a flea or roach infestation) or in conjunction with a pesticide.
One ounce of Flea Fix will treat up to 1500 sq. ft.. when treating for fleas. For
control of severe roach populations, two ounces Flea Fix is suggested per gallon of water.
Tip: Field studies have shown that using Flea Fix increases the appetite of roaches
- thus driving them to "pig-out" on superior roach baits such as Maxforce Gel. Use Flea Fix three times each
year to prevent flea and roach infestations.

dumping" usually causes the ants to discontinue feeding while moving away from your
bait.

which needs to be treated.

during application) Quart is $34.59 (plus S&H,); mixes with 6 gallons of water, will

(a.i. Permethrin 36.8%):
[Same a.i. as Dragnet] This odorless insecticide is a favorite with professionals and
homeowners for general purpose pest control as well as termite control. When used as
directed, Permethrin is a very safe product; labeled for use indoors on carpets, outdoors
on turf and ornamentals; one of the best termiticides available. The high
concentration means very little product is used per application. For fleas, roaches,
ticks, ants and other indoor pests, only 1 to 1.6 ounces of Permethrin is needed per
gallon. Do not treat animals with this product; if you wish to treat dogs, horses or
other livestock with Permethrin, you must use Permethrin-10
concentrate. When treating outdoors for fleas, ticks, ants, molecrickets,
chinch bugs and other insects, 1 ounce of Permethrin will cover 1000 square feet of
lawn. Works great in combination with IGRs such as Flea Fix. Most
homeowners need the quart size, unless they are treating their home for termites.
A one quart container of Permethrin Pro is only $49.50 plus freight.

granular and liquid concentrate forms. When used as directed by the label, it is very safe
towards non-target animals, birds, reptiles, mammals. Talstar lasts much longer than

Laws Affecting EPA's Pesticide Programs - EPA gains the authority to regulate the sale and usage of pesticides from two main laws: the Federal Insecticide, Rodenticide, and Fungicide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). These two laws, as well as other statutes that affect the Agency's pesticide programs, are described.
