09/21/25
ExciteR Pyrethrin Insecticide, manufactured by Zoecon, is a broad-spectrum concentrate designed to control a wide range of insects.
It contains a dual-ingredient system with pyrethrins as an insecticide and PBO as a synergist to provide quick control. ExciteR Pyrethrin Insecticide can be mixed with oil or water and combined with other compatible insecticides to control severe infestations. It is an odorless insecticide, making it ideal for use in sensitive areas, such as hospitals.
ExciteR Pyrethrin Insecticide forces insects like fleas, ants, and cockroaches out of cracks and crevices for efficient control. This is a great product when faced with various insects in indoor or outdoor areas.
Tools Needed
You will need a ULV or thermal fogger, backpack sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, or a professional pump sprayer.
ExciteR can also be used as a flea dip for dogs over 12 weeks old. This treatment requires a small spray bottle or sponge.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much ExciteR Pyrethrin Insecticide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiply them together (length x width = square footage). For most applications, 2.125 to 4.25 ounces of ExciteR Pyrethrin Insecticide is used per gallon of water to treat 750 sq. ft indoors or 0.25 to 0.5 fl. oz. to treat 1000 sq. ft. outdoors in 2.5 to 5.0 gallons of water. For example, if you are treating indoors and measuring an area of 1,500 sq. ft., you would need 4.25 to 8.50 fl. oz. mixed in 2 gallons of water.
- Step 2: Fill the spray tank with half the required water. Add the correct amount of product to the tank. Add the other half of the water to the spray tank and shake the spray tank to mix thoroughly.
- Step 3: Apply to the indoor and outdoor surface areas listed on the label. Do not apply more than once a day.
Where to Use
Areas where ExciteR can be applied vary depending on the application equipment used, the surface area being treated, and the targeted pest being controlled.
It can be applied to indoor and outdoor areas, as well as residential, commercial, and industrial areas. It is ideal to use in homes, hotels, restaurants, meat plants, poultry plants, hospitals, schools, and more. When applied indoors, it can spray rugs, pet bedding, cracks, and crevices around baseboards, walls, windows, doors, cabinets, dark corners, furniture, and other areas listed on the label for the targeted pests.
ExciteR outdoors can be applied around building perimeters, porches, patios, doors, windows, pathways, and turfs. It can be used with a fogger to eliminate mosquitoes from outdoor recreational areas.
This product can also be applied to dogs over 12 weeks old as a flea treatment. It cannot be used for cats or kittens.
When to Use
Apply when various types of insects are invading indoor and outdoor areas. It is ideal for use in sensitive areas where pesticide odors can be offensive.
Another ideal use is when infestations have become resistant to other insecticides and to flush insects out of cracks and crevice areas.
Safety Information
ExciteR is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product.
Do not apply this product to cats.
Except when applying to pets, do not enter or allow others to enter until sprays have dried, vapors, mists, and aerosols have dispersed, and the treated area has been thoroughly ventilated.
Special Considerations
