PT Phantom II Aerosol, manufactured by BASF, is a very popular insecticide aerosol spray that’s used for cracks and crevice or spot treatments and long-term control against pests. Phantom Aerosol comes with a straw applicator tip which makes crack and crevice spraying easy.

Unlike other aerosol insecticides, PT Phantom II Aerosol is not a neurotoxin. It contains the active ingredient of Chlorfenapyr, a pyrrole, which affects the cells of insects and hinders the ability of their cells to absorb energy. This eventually causes paralysis and leads to their death. This different mode of action makes Phantom II a great option for insecticide rotation to minimize the chance of targeted insects from developing a resistance to residual insecticides.

PT Phantom is a non-repellant meaning that target insects will not be deterred from traveling over the insecticide. In fact, target insects like bed bugs, ants and roaches won’t even know they’re crossing over a lethal poison designed to destroy them.

Tools Needed

PT Phantom II Aerosol comes ready to use straight out of the box with no tools needed for its application. It even comes with an applicator tip for crack and crevice spraying.
