Optigard Flex Liquid Insecticide

Optigard Flex Liquid Insecticide is a professional, flexible liquid insecticide powered by thiamethoxam for control of listed structural, perimeter, void, and ornamental pests. This suspension concentrate formulation can be used indoors and outdoors as a crack-and-crevice treatment, spot treatment, surface spray, structural void application, foam treatment, perimeter application, or localized wood-destroying insect treatment.

As a Group 4A neonicotinoid insecticide, Optigard Flex Liquid provides a non-repellent treatment option for common pests such as cockroaches, ants, beetles, boxelder bugs, crickets, earwigs, firebrats, lady beetles, millipedes, pillbugs, silverfish, sowbugs, yellow jackets, wasps, and selected wood-destroying insects. Its flexible use patterns make it a strong choice for pest professionals who need one product for multiple structural pest-control applications.

Application Notes

Optigard Flex Liquid must be diluted with water before application. For general structural pest control, the label lists finished dilutions of 0.05% to 0.1%, with the 0.1% rate used for heavy pest infestations. Applications may be made as a crack-and-crevice spray, coarse low-pressure spot spray, surface spray, structural void application, mist, or foam depending on the target pest and treatment site.

In living areas, do not apply as a broadcast spray. Use only as a void application, spot treatment, or crack-and-crevice application in areas where occupants will not be exposed to direct contact. Keep people and pets away from treated areas until dry. Do not apply while bees are foraging, and do not apply to flowering plants; only apply after flower petals have fallen off.
