Exponent Insecticide Synergist
Exponent Insecticide Synergist
Exponent Insecticide Synergist, manufactured by MGK, is a synergist which can be mixed with liquid insecticide concentrates to enhance their effectiveness against problem pests.
The way Exponent works is by interfering with mechanisms that insects use to try and resist insecticides to make them more susceptible to the active ingredient. Exponent can be mixed in a sprayer or can be used in mosquito misting systems.
Tools Needed
Exponent Insecticide Synergist can be added to insecticides as a ULV spray, foggers or a contact spray using a hand-pump sprayer. It can also be mixed in a mosquito misting system.
How to Use
- Step 1: In the spray equipment of your choosing, mix a portion of Exponent with fresh water and an appropriate insecticide concentrate. Application rates will be found on the insecticide label. The typical rate is between 0.4 to 1.2 oz. per 1,000 square feet depending on whether using as a broadcast surface spray or crack and crevice spray. Check the label for detailed application instructions.
- Step 2: Mix well and spray the product on the desired surface or program your automatic misting system to conduct a spraying as usual.
Where to Use
Exponent Insecticide Synergist can be used indoors and outdoors, wherever there is a flying insect problem that needs to be addressed. You can safely use it as a space spray or contact spray in residences, hotels, schools, food processing plants, animal shelters, and plenty of other places. Check the label for the complete list.
When to Use
Use Exponent Insecticide Synergist when there is an infestation of insects in a sensitive area like around your yard or other areas where toxic chemicals are discouraged. Mixing Exponent Insecticide Synergist with an pyrethroid insecticide can strengthen the product and deliver exceptional results.
Safety Information
Exponent Insecticide Synergist is safe to use when applied according to label directions. Please have on the proper PPE when mixing and applying.
Special Considerations
Be forewarned that Exponent Insecticide Synergist on its own is not an insecticide but rather is an additive used to be mixed with insecticides. It will on it's own not be able to kill any insects.
