It combines nonrepellency, superior control, long-lasting effects, and the ability to control populations faster than baiting systems—all in a low-dose, virtually odorless formulation. Phantom can be used as a soil drench, wall foam or as a general use spray as desired.
Contents - (1) 21 oz bottle makes 28 gallons of 1.25% solution for termites or 7 gallons of general use spray for cockroaches and ants.
General Pest Control Indoors
Applications should be made to breeding areas, nesting site, hiding places, runways, and other places where pests are found or likely to infest. For use with only low-pressure directed spray application equipment.
Cockroaches: Phantom is effective against American, Asian, brownbanded, German, Oriental, smokybrown, and other cockroach species.
Use a 0.5% dilution. Apply dilution as a coarse. low pressure spot or crack and crevice spray to areas where these pests normally inhabit or are likely to infest.
Limited spot treatment of Phantom dilution can be made to surfaces beneath cabinets, spaces between equipment or expansion joints, surfaces behind sinks, lockers, water pipes, cabinets, or other areas where cockroaches may hide. Reapply, if needed, every 4 weeks or more.
Ants: Phantom is highly effective against household and structure-invading ants, including the following species: acrobat ants, Argentine Ants, Carpenter Ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants, Pharaoh's ants, pyramid ants, and other species.
Apply crack and crevice or spot treatments of a 0.5% dilution to areas of known or suspected ant activity. Where possible, apply Phantom directly to ant nest(s) or nesting site(s) or ant-infested wood or structual voids. Reapply, if needed, every 4 weeks or more.

Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide
By Geoff on June 10, 2010 Verified Purchase
I have used this product every spring for a number of years; simply spray around the outside foundation of the house and we are ant and insect free for the entire season. A trick we learned from one of the expensive exterminators we hired to get rid of carpenter ants. Now we do it ourselves and save big $$.

Phantom Termiticide
By Willard on July 26, 2010 Verified Purchase
We have had an opportunity to use the product, and have found it to be very effective so far. We were being bombarded by carpenter ants, and the little black ants but after treating with Phantom termiticide we seen them no more. Also in the past we used the Demand CS against an invasion of German Roaches and it was also very effective. I would like to say your products have been 100% effective. Thank you very much. Willard

Terrible! Waste of money!
By J on May 15, 2013This stuff is terrible! I've been using this for a month now and still have these little black ants. I used ant bait first and they usually go for it, but didn't this time. After a week I sprayed the house with Phantom. The ants are walking across half the house directly over the entire path that I sprayed 3 times and they're still alive and kicking and moving as fast as ever. I have a Florida block house and spray a lower barrier around the whole house and then another at the top of the block. Then go around again and hit the soffits and the corners. I think Raid would work better. Pest guy said Phantom was better than Demon, but I don't see it.. I'm going back to Demon. Demon works great!

Absolutely the BEST product for ant elimination!!!!
By Dory1126 on May 8, 2013 Verified Purchase
Used this product to eliminated ant invasion in the bathroom and kitchen of our newly purchased home. Worked like a charm! We went from ants all over the kitchen backsplash and on the bathroom counter to NONE! Not one! This product is convenient to mix...great for a large area (we decided to do our entire house). Also, we used this in conjunction with the Phantom Spray, which is also terrific. The spray is convenient to use, but it is much better for smaller areas. The mix is much more cost effective for larger areas. In any event, both the spray and the mix are super effective for ant elimination! A+++++

Bed Bugs from Wichita Public Library in my home.
By Tracy on October 8, 2012I NEVER wanted to have the experience of bed bugs in my home. I abated them once determined after the library lied to me that they were in fact bed bugs. Next,I studied and went and got retail products to abate them and bombed my home. Next, I had the professionals in 2 times in next 21 days and I learned what they use and I purchased it myself at DoMyOwnPestControl.com. They shipped free and immediately and I have been treating my own home successfully. They also have all the answers and chat available during the hours they are closed. I highly recommend Phantom and Genrol as the growth inhibitor which is also available from this great website. Tracy A. Tams Rehabilitaion Counselor, M.S.

September 8, 2009 Gerardo asked:
QIs Phantom Insecticide safe around kids and babies?
AYes, Phantom is safe while kids/babies and pets are in the house. Phantom is only strong enough to kill small insects. It is a good idea to keep pets and children outside or in another room while treating and then allow about 30 minutes for the products to dry. Once dry it is perfectly safe for children and pets to re-enter the living space. Of course you should always store the products just like any other cleaning chemicals, out of reach of children and pets.

QHow effective is Phantom Insecticide for bed bug control?
I am experiencing a problem with bed bugs and recently had my apartment treated with Phantom. The technician treated not only cracks and floorboards, etc, but sprayed my walls as well. I'm reading the info on this website which says only to treat seams, not walls. Is treating the walls safe and effective? How many treatments will I need?
Apartment was sprayed today and I have seen several live bed bugs and have felt several bites. Shouldn't it kill them immediately?
APhantom is quickly becoming the new preferred treatment for bed bugs. It leaves a long term residual that has shown to kill bed bugs long after you initially treat. However, it is not an immediate kill. When a bed bug crosses over an area that has been treated with Phantom it picks up the product on its body, but it can take days to kill the bed bug. This is why you will still see bed bugs and still may get bitten, but the bed bug will die. Phantom is very popular now because bed bugs build up resistance easily to certain products and Phantom is a product that they have not shown resistance to yet. Any good company should treat every two weeks for at least two cycles. It could take more than two treatments depending on the severity of the situation. I cannot comment on the companies interpretation of the instructions, but treating cracks and crevices, baseboards, and other areas will ensure that when the bed bugs come out of hiding that they will cross a treated barrier. You should consider our bed bug treatment kits. They have a very high success rate and will save you lots of money over hiring another exterminator if they are not successful.

September 25, 2009 Frederick asked:
QHow much Phantom Insecticide do I mix per gallon for roach control?
I am regular customer of yours. I am very pleased with Phantom. However in the manual it states that the dilution for roaches should be 3oz per gal. I am a little concerned as you mentioned 1.5 oz per gal?
AThe amount of 1.5 oz per gallons of water more pertains if you are using Phantom for a termite treatment. You should use 3 oz per gallon of water when applying for roaches or other general pest control insects.

August 6, 2009 Arvid asked:
QIs there a restricted entry interval following an application of Phantom Insecticide for cockroaches?
Is there a restricted entry interval following an application of Phantom for cockroaches, and is there any personal protective equipment required for such re-entry?
APhantom is an odorless and very safe liquid insecticide. There is no requirement to wear anything special upon re-entry. You should always wear gloves when applying any pesticide, but unless you are in a completely closed rooom with no ventilation, you do not need a respirator. You should allow enough time for the product to dry and then it is perfectly fine to enter back into the space with children and pets. Usually it takes 30 - 45 minutes for the product to dry thoroughly. Always read the product label for full treatment instructions.

QPhantom vs Termidor
What is better for termites: Phantom or Termidor?
ATermidor is definitely the most popular termite treatment product available. Phantom was made more for indoor pest control and perimeter pest control treatments. Since Termidor is not labeled to treat around the indoors for pest control, Phantom was made to serve that purpose. Although Phantom is labeled for termites treating, it does not last nearly as long as Termidor does in the ground and it is also much more costly per finished gallon than Termidor is.

Ameer from California asked:
QIs Phantom better than Wisdom Flo for ants and spider control?
indoor and outdoor
APhantom would definitely be a better choice for ant control because it is a non-repellent which also has a transfer effect so it will be transferred back to the colony to wipe out the whole colony vs just the ants that cross over the treated area. The downside to this is that there is a delayed reaction kill which means while it will kill spiders, it will take a while for them to die.

Danny from Lindon, Ut asked:
QPhantom VS Transport Mikron?
I've used Phantom quit a bit, and i know it works good, but i was wondering if you know how Transport Mikron Compares to Phantom with knock down and longevity?
AWe are of the school of thought that if what you are using is working well for you, you shouldn't change it. Having said that, Transport is also a good product and with 2 different active ingredients offers both a fast kill and a long lasting residual plus it has a broader label as to where it can be applied.

QIs Phantom animal friendly?
AYes, Phantom is safe around animals. Phantom is only strong enough to kill small insects. It is a good idea to keep animals outside or in another area while treating and then allow about 30-60 minutes for the products to dry. Once dry it is perfectly safe for animals to re-enter the space. Of course you should always store the products just like any other chemicals, out of reach of animals.

Rick from Seattle, Wa. asked:
QWill Phantom hurt frogs (Pacific Tree Frogs)?
AWe do not think Phantom will hurt the frogs but it will kill their food source which will reduce their numbers as they will move on to look for food in other areas. Be sure not to spray the product on the frogs.

Pete from Nc asked:
QPhantom vs WebOut CobWeb Eliminator for indoor use.
What are the pros and cons of choosing Phantom vs WebOut CobWeb Eliminator for long-term prevention of indoor cobweb formation in room corners and around lights kept on at night etc. ?
AWeb Out works well to kill spiders on contact but it does not leave a long killing residual. Web Out also of course coats surfaces and helps prevent the reformation of webs. Phantom on the other hand does not kill on contact or prevent reformation of webs but instead leaves a long lasting residual that kills spiders and other insects over several days. By killing other insects you are also removing the spiders food source which in turn will make your structure less favorable to new spiders. Most folks use Web Out in conjunction with a long lasting insecticide.

QDoes Phantom work on Brown Recluse Spiders?
I had a serious small Black ant problem which lead to my purchase of your Phantom product, with great success!! Now, a friend is in a rent house and is being invaded by Brown Recluse Spiders, and landlord is doing NOTHING about these dangerous spiders! Will my Phantom work to eliminate them?
APhantom is labeled for spiders but it is does not have a fast knockdown so it can take several days for the spiders to be eliminated after they come into contact with treat surfaces. Phantom will also help eliminate other insects which the spiders feed on which in turn will help eliminate the spiders and stop new spiders from moving in.

Rich from Columbus, Ohio asked:
QDoes mixing Gentrol IGR concentrate with Phantom reduce Phantom's "nonrepellency" for cockroaches?
We hopefully have a light/moderate roach infestation - we maybe see 2-3 roaches a week. We are already planning on using Advion Roach Bait Gel, but we'd like to also use Phantom and Gentrol IGR concentrate as a liquid mix to do baseboards, under appliances, sink cabinets, attic areas, and basement bandboards. However, here's a technical question: 1.) Will adding Gentrol IGR to Phantom, make the Phantom detectable to the roaches and make them not want to touch it?, 2.) Will spraying the Gentrol IGR / Phantom mix near our Advion Roach Bait drops cause the roaches to avoid the bait?, and 3.) We won't spray the mix on top of the Advion drops, but pretty near it (e.g., along the bottom of sink cabinets, yet put Advion bait 1 foot above this area around the sink plumbing?). Could you advise?
AAdding Gentrol IGR to Phantom will not change the non-repellency of Phantom. You should not apply the Advion and the Phantom/Gentrol in the same exact places. Keep the Advion up high around counter tops, in cabinets and drawers and in other cracks or crevices where it would not be appropriate to spray. Keep sprays around baseboards, moldings, door frames, window frames and under appliances. The Advion Bait will not be contaminated as long as you do not spray it directly with the Phantom/Gentrol dilution.
