Purchased your Onslaught insecticide and did 1.0 mix. Sprayed directly on the bed bugs yet they seem immuned. After spraying these bugs, I collect them inside a plastic container. Bed bugs sprayed and collected are still crawling! Can I increase the mix for potent kil?
The Onslaught is not a contact kill product and you can not mix it at a dose any higher than the label states. Spraying a bed bug with it directly is not going to kill it as that is not how the product is designed to work. For bed bugs you need residual products, ones that after they have dried, are still on the surface so that any bug that crosses a treated area will be effected. Also you have to do retreatments for bed bugs every 10 days until you can go at least 30 days with no bites or signs of bed bugs. It is not a one and done process, and you have to use more than just a liquid residual to get in every area that bed bugs hide. Please review our guide on How to Get Rid of Bedbugs to make sure you are doing all the necessary steps to eliminate the infestation properly and in the fastest method.
