Zenprox EC Insecticide, manufactured by Zoecon, is a versatile insecticide that controls many insects.
It contains the active ingredients etofenprox and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) to provide a fast knockdown and lasting effects.
Zenprox EC Insecticide is a great stand-alone product, or it can be mixed with an insect growth regulator (IGR) for the most severe infestations.
Tools Needed
A backpack sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, Micro-Injector or Actisol applicators are needed.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Zenprox EC Insecticide 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). The Zenprox EC label states to use a rate of 2 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet in a gallon of water. If you have a 5,000-square-foot area to be treated, you would need 10 oz. of product mixed with 5 gallons of water.
- Step 2: To begin making applications with a sprayer, fill the spray tank halfway with water. Add the appropriate amount of product to the spray tank and shake it to mix. Add the rest of the required amount of water to make a solution. Shake the spray tank again to make sure it is thoroughly mixed.
- Step 3: Apply Zenprox EC to the surface areas and cracks and crevices listed on the label. Use a fan spray setting to get nice, even coverage on surfaces and a pin stream setting for cracks and crevices. Let all areas dry before allowing people or pets to re-enter. Applications can be made every 14 days as needed.
Where to Use
Zenprox EC is formulated as an indoor broadcast, crack, crevice, void, and spot treatment. It can be applied in homes, hotels, schools, hospitals, office buildings, and more. Zenprox EC can be used in various surface areas, including baseboards, carpets, floors, around plumbing pipes, under furniture and appliances, in closets, mattresses, box springs, wall decorations, rugs, and more.
Do not apply to food or feed handling areas. Use it only as a crack and crevice spray when treating mattresses.
When to Use
This product can be used as a preventative treatment with a 14 to 28-day residual barrier, depending on the targeted pest. It can also be used as a quick knockdown treatment for current indoor insect infestations.
Do not apply more than every 2 weeks.
Safety Information
Zenprox EC Insecticide is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing or applying this product.
Do not allow children or pets to contact treated surfaces until the spray has dried.
Special Considerations
Zenprox EC can be pre-mixed and used the next day; just shake the spray tank to mix well before use. It can also be mixed with an insect growth regulator to stop the life cycle of fleas or bed bugs.
