Recommended Products

Indoor Products

PT® Fendona®, PT® 565 Plus XLO and PT® PI® can be applied indoors, and they all feature a quick knockdown. Since these products are oil-based aerosols, they can potentially stain or dissolve materials such as Styrofoam insulation. If possible, test on a sample material first.

PT® Wasp-Freeze® II Wasp & Hornet Insecticide

PT® Wasp-Freeze® II can be applied from 15 feet away, minimizing the risk of stings. It is one of our most effective products to use against stinging insects and spiders. However, it can only be used in attics, crawlspaces and outdoor areas, like chimneys and decks. It may stain asphalt roofing shingles, so testing a sample area first is recommended.

Alpine® Dust Insecticide

Alpine® Dust is extremely effective against stinging insects. If insects are burrowing into decks, pergolas or fasciae, control them by applying Alpine Dust into the burrows. It is advisable to treat nests in the evening when insects are less active and to wear protective clothing to avoid stings.
