How To Use PT Alpine Flea & Bed Bug Spray

PT Alpine Flea & Bed Bug Pressurized Insecticide is an industry-leading product designed to control and eliminate flea and bed bug infestations in your home. This powerful insecticide is effective against adult and immature fleas, adult bed bugs, and adult lone star and brown dog ticks. With a unique combination of three active ingredients, it provides fast-acting and long-lasting control. This comprehensive guide will walk you through how to use this product effectively and safely.

What is PT Alpine Flea & Bed Bug Spray?

PT Alpine Flea & Bed Bug Spray is a ready-to-use, pressurized insecticide that is applied in a sweeping motion. One of its key features is its ability to treat an area of 80 to 100 square feet in approximately 10 seconds. The product contains Dinotefuran, Pyriproxyfen, and Prallethrin as active ingredients. Dinotefuran is a neonicotinoid that disrupts the insects’ central nervous system, Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator that continues to work on the eggs for up to seven months, and Prallethrin is a pyrethroid that provides quick knockdown of the pests.

How Does PT Alpine Flea & Bed Bug Spray Work?

The product works by targeting different stages of the pests’ life cycle. Dinotefuran and Prallethrin rapidly kill adult fleas and bed bugs, while Pyriproxyfen prevents eggs and larvae from maturing into adults. Pyriproxyfen remains active indoors for up to 7 months, providing long-term prevention of re-infestation. The pressurized technology allows for easy application with a light spray that dries quickly, enabling rapid reentry into treated areas.

Preparation Before Application

Before applying the spray, thoroughly vacuum the area. This helps to remove any flea eggs, larvae, or adult fleas present in the area. If you’re treating an area where pets sleep, wash or dispose of their bedding. Shake the can well before use to ensure the ingredients are well mixed and ready for application.

How to Apply PT Alpine Flea & Bed Bug Spray?

Hold the can at arm’s length and direct the spray towards the area to be treated. Use a sweeping motion to apply the product and back away from the treated area while holding the can 36 inches away from the surface being treated. Apply the product at a rate of 20 ounces (one can) for up to 2,625 square feet, or 10 ounces (half a can) for up to 1,300 square feet. Do not apply more than 20 ounces per 2,625 square feet.

Areas to Treat

Treat infested areas or potentially infested areas, including rugs, carpets, upholstered furniture, pet beds, pet resting areas, room edges, and around and under furniture or other stored items. When treating upholstered furniture, treat under cushions and areas where flea development occurs.

Bed Bug Treatment

Apply where bed bugs harbor or are suspected of traveling. Treat areas such as wall junctions and floors, beneath floor coverings and carpets, closets, shelves, curtains, furniture (behind, under, and/or inside furniture, including upholstered furniture), headboards, picture frames, and box springs. When treating mattresses, remove linens before application. Do not apply directly to bed linens or other bed surfaces that come in direct, prolonged contact with occupants of the bed. Allow mattresses to dry before the bed is re-made and used.

Luggage Treatment

When treating luggage, apply only to empty luggage. Direct product into luggage pockets, seams, folds, and around wheels. Areas of rooms where luggage is stored may also be treated.

Post-Application

Allow surfaces to dry before reoccupying treated areas. Reapply as necessary but not more than once a day. If new fleas continue to emerge, it is recommended to re-apply the product after 14 days.

Safety Precautions

Do not treat pets with this product. Treat pets with a product registered for use for flea control on animals in conjunction with this treatment. When applying to mattresses, do not apply to bed linens. Remove bed linens before applying. Do not apply to entire mattress; apply only to edges, tufts, folds, sides, and seams. Check for potential staining issues before treating by testing a small, inconspicuous area of the item to be treated. Store in a cool, dry area away from heat.

Conclusion

PT Alpine Flea & Bed Bug Spray offers a powerful solution to control and eliminate flea and bed bug infestations. Its unique combination of active ingredients provides fast-acting and long-lasting control. However, it is important to use it correctly and safely.
