How does Optigard Flex work?

Thiamethoxam, the active ingredient, is a non repellent insecticide. Non-repellent means that target insects don't sense that the product is there and will crawl right through it, picking it up on their bodies. Optigard FLEX is especially effective on social insects like ants. Because of the delayed reaction of Thiamethoxam these insects will be able to return to their nesting site and transfer the insecticide to other members of their colony through normal social interactions, eventually eliminating the entire colony.

How do I use Optigard FLEX to treat my home ?

To use as a perimeter spray and a crack and crevice treament outside:

  • Mix 1/2 oz of Optigard FLEX with one gallon of water in a hand pump sprayer.
  • Spray a 3 ft wide band around the base of your home.
  • Spray a 2 ft wide band on the ground around the base of your home.
  • Spray around all door frames and window frames.
  • Spot treat any insect points of entry such as around pipes or cables, soffits, eaves, attic vents, and weep or ventilation holes.

To use as a crack and crevice or spot treament inside your home:

  • Mix 1/2 oz of Optigard FLEX with one gallon of water in a hand pump sprayer.
  • Spray on baseboards around home.
  • Spray all door frames and window frames.
  • Spot treat other points of insect entry or harborage.

    Control for Small Black Ants

    By Max on 09/26/2010

    Verified Purchase

    For the application I used this product for it did a great job of getting rid of the small black ants under and around the kitchen sink. This product solved my ant problem. I strongly recommend Optigard Flex Liquid for the use of controlling the small black ants population under and around kitchen sinks.

Q
Does Optigard Flex Liquid work on wasps?

I noticed your website list of insects did not include wasps, but a wasp control website says this is the best non-repelent to use for them. Any thoughts/ideas on this?

A

Optigard Flex Liquid is labeled for yellow jackets and wasps.  On our website list there is  *See label for complete list, of which the wasps and yellowjects are in included there.  When treating for wasps and yellow jackets you will be treating their nests directly.

Q
Will Optigard Flex Liquid work to keep Palmetto Bugs from entering my home?

We have tried several products (including professional) to keep these large roaches from entering our rural Florida home. We need an effective perimeter treatment because we have pet birds (small parrots) and don't want to use insecticides around them.

A
Optigard Flex Liquid will definitely help reduce the palmetto bugs on your property. You should note that because palmetto bugs can fly that there is a chance that they could fly into your home without ever having touched a treated area. You can also help reduce the amount of palmetto bugs on your property by removing yard debris and turning mulched areas frequently to reduce the amount of moisture up close to your home. Please take a moment to read our article Integrated Pest Management to learn more about how to make your property less favorable to these pests.

Q
Your Q&A for Termidor says it only lasts 6 weeks on wood - How long does Optigard Flex last?
A
When using Termidor to treat for termites it is meant to go in the ground.  It is not a wood treatment product.  Optigard Flex is an insecticide meant for indoor and outdoor perimeter treatments.  It is also not a wood treatment product.  You would not want to use Optigard Flex for termite or beetle control in wood.  You would want to use a wood treatment product like Bora-Care which stays in the wood forever and is meant to be applied on only wood.  It depends on what you are trying to control as to what product would be best for your needs.

Q
Would Optigard Flex be effective against pyrethrins/pyrethroid resistant bedbugs?

Neonicotinoids have been found to be effective against bed bugs.

A
Optigard Flex is NOT labeled for the treatment of bed bugs, so we do not recommend this product for that use. An insecticide that does contain a neonicotinoid, imidacloprid, that is excellent for bed bug treatment is Temprid SC. For complete bed bug treatments, we recommend the use of our bed bugs kits, several of which contain Temprid SC, and all of which contain a variety of products and our five page Bed Bug Guide.
