Drew from Palm Springs, Ca writes

How do you kill the GIANT Palo Verde beetles?

These things are REPULSIVE and HUGE... up to 5" long... and very hard to kill. I showered one with Bifen I/T and it just sat there seemingly enjoying it. The next day, it was nowhere to be found. I need something POWERFUL, but still safe around kids and dogs when dry.

Answer:

The only instant knockdown products you can use will not a leave a residual behind. Bifen IT is not meant to be a fast knockdown product and usually takes several hours to kill insects.  If you want an instant knockdown you can use a pyrethrin based aerosol such as 565 Plus XLO.
