Unlike many household insect sprays that provide only short-term knockdown, Deltamethrin remains active on treated surfaces, allowing insects to pick up a lethal dose as they move across the treated area. This provides ongoing protection and helps reduce reinfestation.

When applied in accordance with the label directions, Bug Juice is designed to remain effective for up to two years, and potentially longer, depending on the surface, environmental conditions and level of exposure.

Active Ingredient

• Active Ingredient: Deltamethrin
• Chemical Group: Synthetic Pyrethroid
• Target Pests: Spiders, ants, cockroaches, flies and other common crawling insects

How It Works

Deltamethrin acts on the insect's nervous system, causing rapid paralysis and eventual death. Its residual properties allow insects to be controlled after contacting treated surfaces, making it highly effective for long-term preventative pest management.

Environmental Performance

Residual performance is influenced by environmental conditions including weather exposure, surface type and temperature. During periods of high temperatures, some insects—particularly flying insects—may remain active for longer before the insecticide takes full effect. Crawling insects generally receive a higher exposure as they remain in contact with treated surfaces for longer periods.

When dry, treated surfaces are safe for normal contact when used in accordance with the product label.
