FAQ−+
Is this product safe to use if I have pets?
Bengal's products are safe for pets once they have dried on the surfaces, and the airborne vapors have cleared out. It is best to remove the pets from the treated area when the product is applied and keep them out until it is okay for them to return. This might be 30 minutes for Roach Spray and two hours for a carpet sprays like Full Season or Bedbug Killer.
Extra caution is advised for cats since they do not have the necessary liver enzymes to break down many pesticides. Do not get the pesticide on their food or water, and make sure that surfaces that they may contact are COMPLETELY dry.
Two hours is usually a safe interval for all the products, but may be longer in humid or chilly weather when it takes longer for the sprays to dry.
Do you have to disturb the mound before treatment?
DIsturbing the mound with a long stick will speed up the time taken to kill the mound. Be careful not to allow any ants to get on your skin or clothes. Once the ants are pouring out of the disturbed mound, apply the product according to the directions. More ants come into contact with the product more quickly resulting in quicker results.
Why use fire ant dust versus other types of fire ant killing systems?
The Bengal UltraDust 2X Fire Ant Killer is both odorless – and water repellent. It does not clump or absorb moisture. The effectiveness is not ruined by light rain since the product is water repellent but heavy rains may wash the powder off the mound.
