What is the correct mixing ratio of the Temprid SC in the Pyrethroid Resistant Bed Bug Control Kit?

I was reading the information in the "full description & features" for this kit. On using Temprid SC, it says to use 16mL per gallon of water for the initial treatment, and then to go down to 8mL for the rest of the treatments. Am I understanding that correctly? Won't doubling the dosage make it too strong and actually repel the bed bugs, causing them to avoid the treated areas and scatter?

Answer:

Per the Temprid SC product label, the correct application rate for bed bugs is 8-16 mL per gallon of water.  The higher application rate is typically recommended for the initial application or for heavier infestations in order to achieve a quicker knockdown and cleanout.  The only way the product would repel bed bugs and cause them to avoid the treated areas would be if it was applied at a heavier rate than what was recommended on the product label.
