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

No More Ants in SightI’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 which is 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), accessories and replacement parts. Many models to choose from, highly configurable. I'm sure there are other great brands but Smith is the only 'serious' sprayer brand 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.

I am so tired of mosquitos and treating the puppies for fleas all summer. In the past I have hired a company to come spray for me, but the costs keep increasing. I did a ton of research and found what all the pros use. They use a mixture of pyriproxyfen, pyrethrins and Bifenthrin. I used 1oz per gallon of Bifenthrin, 1/2 ounce pyriproxyfen and 1/2 of pyrethrin per gallon. You only need the pyriproxyfen and pyrethin every couple sprays, especially during the early spring. I use a 3 gallon gas backpack fogger and only need 2 gallons or less to cover my entire yard. The effects are noticeable almost immediately. There is no smell to this and it dries very quick. The durability is around 4 weeks. It’s very effective and safe for humans and pets (except fish). I definitely recommend this product with the other two I mentioned and spray every 3-4 weeks to keep the mosquitos, ticks and fleas at bay. You will thank me later and save tons of money while at it.

Quality product. Kills all that it says it will on the label.safe product if you follow the directions. It has held up keeping the bugs away even though it has been raining a lot since I used it. I used Viper in the past and the smell would stay around for weeks outside this product had not as strong smell and was hardly noticeable in a couple days.
