Atticus Talak 7.9% Indoor/Outdoor Insect Control - Bifenthrin Concentrate (1 GAL)

No More Ants in Sight I’ve been battling ants around my property for years, and this bifenthrin concentrate has been one of the most effective solutions I’ve tried. I mixed it according to the directions and applied it around the base of my home, patio, and a couple of problem areas in the yard. Within a day or two, the ant trails that were once constant highways disappeared. Even better, the treatment has held up for weeks, even through light watering and a bit of rain. The gallon size is a real plus—it stretches a long way since you only need a small amount per batch. I’ve already gotten multiple full sprayer loads out of it, and it looks like there’s still plenty left for the season. That makes it more economical than buying smaller bottles or single-use sprays. Effectiveness has gone beyond ants, too. I’ve noticed a big reduction in spiders around shaded corners and even fewer roaches venturing near the garage. The yard feels more comfortable to use without worrying about stepping into trails of pests. A couple of things to keep in mind: the chemical is potent, so gloves, eye protection, and careful handling are necessary when mixing. Also, it’s best to spray when the weather is calm—wind can cause drift, and heavy rain soon after application will shorten its effectiveness. I’ve had the best results spraying on a dry day and letting it set. Bottom line: A powerful, long-lasting, and economical insect control option that keeps ants, spiders, and other pests at bay. If you’re serious about protecting your home and yard, this is one worth keeping on hand.

Effective for spiders, palmetto bugs and helps with mosquitoes. So if you don’t have bats in your area to eat the mosquitoes this is your next best option. You’ll need a sprayer for application and this is a mix so read directions. I have dogs and this is a good product for them. I have discontinued my pest control service completely sooooo well worth the $$$$

This is one extremely effective indoor/outdoor spray that defeats a multitude of insects. Please read all of the instructions thoroughly before use. It doesn't have an awful off putting smell but please wear all of the personal protective equipment (PPE that is a must) indicated in the instructions. It also states that it's safe for pets once it's dried. The well constructed container is also intelligently designed to dispense the precise amount desired, with zero leakage. Excellent value for the money.

Bifenthrin (the active ingredient) degrades quickly after mixing with water. I've read 24-48 hours. Best to mix only what you'll use immediately. Using distilled water may help with this but I'd guess most won't bother and in my limited reading about this, hard to draw a solid conclusion. Reportedly, shelf life for the undiluted product in the original container is 3-5 years if kept away from heat and direct sunlight. I'd recommend sealing the container in an airtight, heavy duty plastic bag and storing inside unless you have a climate controlled shed or garage. As for the effectiveness of the product, it's worked well for fire ants (and other ants), chiggars , roaches and other ground insects. It also seems to have greatly reduced the gnat population. I've read that it works well for flys too. Both spend significant time on the ground where they'll come in contact with this product. Worthy product when stored properly and used according to directions. Side note: having a high performing and reliable sprayer to apply this or any product is important, one that will evenly dispense the product at the rate you need, provide reliable long term service. I recommend Smith sprayers. After using box store models over the years, switching to a 2gal Smith (model 190216) was a revelation. Nozzles for just about every need, high quality seals (Viton), a choice between cordless electric and hand pumps in some of their models, accessories and replacement parts. I'm sure there are other great brands but Smith is the only 'serious' sprayer I have experience with. I'm not affiliated with Smith in any way nor do I profit from mentioning them. Promise. Just great sprayers that made a difference for me. Lastly, don't use bleach or acidic products (ie. vinegar) in sprayers that are not designed specifically for this purpose. Doing so will lead to premature failure of seals and plastic parts.

I’ve been using the Atticus Talak 7.9% Indoor/Outdoor Insect Control for several months, and it’s been a game-changer for managing pests around my home. This concentrate effectively handles a wide range of insects, including ants, spiders, fleas, and even termites. I appreciate its versatility—it can be used both indoors and outdoors, making it convenient for comprehensive pest management. The application process is straightforward. I mix the concentrate as directed and apply it to areas prone to pests, such as baseboards, window frames, and around the perimeter of my house. The product dries clear and doesn’t leave any noticeable residue, which is a plus. One of the standout features is its long-lasting effectiveness. After application, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in pest activity, and the results have lasted for several weeks, even in areas with heavy outdoor exposure. Overall, I recommend the Atticus Talak 7.9% Insect Control concentrate for anyone dealing with persistent pest issues. It’s a reliable and efficient solution that delivers on its promises.

I am so tired of mosquitos and treating the puppies for fleas all summer. In the past I have hired a company to come spray for me, but the costs keep increasing. I did a ton of research and found what all the pros use. They use a mixture of pyriproxyfen, pyrethrins and Bifenthrin. I used 1oz per gallon of Bifenthrin, 1/2 ounce pyriproxyfen and 1/2 of pyrethrin per gallon. You only need the pyriproxyfen and pyrethin every couple sprays, especially during the early spring. I use a 3 gallon gas backpack fogger and only need 2 gallons or less to cover my entire yard. The effects are noticeable almost immediately. There is no smell to this and it dries very quick. The durability is around 4 weeks. It’s very effective and safe for humans and pets (except fish). I definitely recommend this product with the other two I mentioned and spray every 3-4 weeks to keep the mosquitos, ticks and fleas at bay. You will thank me later and save tons of money while at it.

Works just like Tempo. Only had to spray in once, where I have been having to spray tempo three times in the summer to control ticks and fleas. We had no fleas and no ticks in the yard after spraying. They did not return until early Fall before a freeze. Bifenthrin is safe to use in all the areas that Tempo is safe for.

I can't say enough about how good this product is. It works well so well that I had a cockroach problem on the inside, and after just a few treatments with about an ounce to an ounce and a half of product with a gallon of water in a sprayer, I sprayed all the interior walls by the baseboards behind the appliances and the next day woke up with many ants and a few cockroaches dead and this continued for about a week until there was no more insects to eliminate. Then I used it outside around the perimeter of the house and some in the backyard where mosquitoes were a problem, after all the rain we had it was inevitable that mosquitoes were going to infest, I used it in areas that had been flooded and/or still standing water it worked very well I have not had any mosquitoes bothering me for the last month. I treated the interior several times over a one-month period and I no longer have any insects inside the home or for the most part the outside. Remember it is a toxic chemical and effects all living creatures like the ones that eat bugs for example so try to be very careful when applying this product where other animals live try to keep it confined to your doors maybe windows and areas where ants fleas or mosquitoes are a problem this product is very strong and is very very good. Treated as such. I recommend this to anyone, and I will buy other products from this company in the future they make several other products like herbicides and fungicides and if it works anything like their insecticide I will be impressed!
