MAXXTHOR EC

 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:    Outside only formulation that works on just about any insect pest. Apply it using a good PUMP or HOSE END SPRAYER.

TARGET PESTS:        CICADAS     CLOVER MITES     CHIGGERS      GRASSHOPPERS        LOCUSTS        MILLIPEDES        SPRINGTAILS

USE DIRECTIONS:     The exact amount of Maxxthor needed will vary depending you target pests and in most cases, if you refer to our article where we list it for use we’ll have the recommended dose, application rate and frequency of treatments.

For most insects in turf and vegetation, 1 oz per 5,000 sq/ft will do the job. This means the 32 oz jug will cover 4 acres so it goes a long way. For tough crawling pests like centipedes, millipedes or cicada’s, 2.5 oz per 5,000 sq/ft.

The following “short” video (less than 60 seconds long) shows how to apply it using a HOSE END SPRAYER which is generally the best method – especially for tough pests like springtails, clover mites, millipedes and miller moths.

YouTube video

When treating pests in thick vegetation, add SPREADER STICKER to the sprayer. This will ensure complete coverae whether you’re using the 1 oz per 5,000 or the full 4 oz 10,000. In other words, the 2 oz of Spreader Sticker per filling of the sprayer will be sufficient.

Basically Spreader Sticker enables the Bifen to better “coat” treated areas and target pests. This will enhance the performance of the treatment resulting in faster kills, better coverage and overall, better results.

    This is the first time I am using this product. I typically used Viper to deal with Asian Beetles but it didn’t seem to last long. The company recommended Maxxthor EC as a better alternative. The product appears to be effective and last longer but the jury is still out.

    I hated paying such a big price for Maxxthor to get rid of budworms but I’m sure that we’ll use it for other pest! Worked like a charm! No more stinking budworms!!

      No, it won’t stain. In fact it will dry invisible. More on this can be learned about in our video here:

    I want to spray this product under my replacement liner before they begin installation. Not sure of my leaks were caused by termites but treating it anyway.Should I also spray it in the area outside the pool walls as well? It is dangerous to plants and bushes near the pool? I.e., Can it kill the bushes and plants?

      John,
      Maxxthor is generally used as a termiticide in the soil so where applied under the liner, it will last for many years.
      .
      As for hurting plants and bushes? Quite the opposite actually. If you look at the label, you’ll see that its labeled for use on trees to protect them from wood borers, its labeled for use on turf for grass pests as well as plants and shrubs. In fact Maxxthor was created to PROTECT plants, trees and shrubs – not harm them.

      Jenny,
      Yes. The rule here is to use it at the labeled rate for your target pest and to keep the chickens off the turf you’re treating for a day. So treat in the morning, let the area sit with no chickens on it for the day and the next morning they can return and use the area as they did before.

    The best “general” insecticide I’ve found. I primarily use it to control cicadas which attract copperhead snakes. I used to have a tremendous problem with copperheads in our yard (around oak trees). Since I’ve been applying MAXXTHOR EC, I’ve had no cicadas and haven’t seen a copperhead so far this year. It’s also very effective in controlling other insects here in east Texas.

      Renee,
      Visit our article on elm seed bugs where you’ll learn more about this spray but yes, its the best for this pest. If they’re on the home, spray the siding along with the turf as our article details here:
      .
      Elm Seed Bugs: http://bugspray.com/elm-seed-bug-control.html
      .
      If they’re in the siding? You may need to dust and for inside, the FS MP is best. Hopefully they haven’t penetrated the home yet because once they’re focused on windows, overhangs, soffits, doors and your homes siding, they can be problematic for a few years due to their pheromones.

      James,
      Well if the wasps are landing in the pool water and dying, this won’t help directly.
      .
      But if you spray the plants/shrubs/grass around the pool, the Maxxthor will be detected by the wasps and in turn, they’ll not be able to forage around the area. Indirectly this will have a huge impact on how many make it to the pool and die in the pool water meaning it will greatly reduce that value.

    Just had inground pool liner repaired. 16 holes due to termites, Plan to use your product to treat the soil before installing the next liner. Any value in treating the ground around the pool , retaining wall and flowers beds now? Please advise, thanks

      Kathleen,
      So if this “ground around the pool”; is it cement decking or just soil? Pool decks, like tiles or cement, will harbor all kinds of insects and really should be treated as our post here explains:
      .
      https://bugspray.com/cement
      .
      So in most cases, yes, treating it would be smart. This way insects like termites, springtails, millipedes and more won’t able to live under it or get too nesting there.

    Scary looking outdoor lantern fly nymph infestation. Two applications of the MaxThorr EC spray spaced one week apart. Applied product using a pump sprayer versus a hose sprayer in area of activity. 98% improvement. Luckily, have not seen an even scarier adult lantern fly. Probably used less than 1 fluid ounce of product. Wished product came in smaller quantity. However, well worth the expense. Another great product recommendation from Customer Service. Thank you bugspray.com!

    I’ve used this all summer for springtails and once I figured out the problem area, it worked amazing! However, I’m now dealing with clover mites and I’m curious why the difference between the recommended frequency of spraying for clover mites vs springtails. And should I increase the frequency for clover mites when it’s days like today in IL with the heat index at 117?

      Ashley,
      So first, if you check our post regarding Temperatures, Rain and Sun, you’ll see that Sunlight more than anything can negatively affect any surface treatment outside applied to homes and turf. This means residuals won’t be as long and require “renewing” more frequently.
      .
      https://bugspray.com/uv
      .
      Next, regarding Clover Mites, the key with them is for sure identifying where they’re nesting. When they’re a problem on the home, its almost always because they’re coming from the ground adjacent to the home OR they’re living in the homes siding as detailed in our article here:
      .
      https://bugspray.com/catalog/products/page478.html#how-to-treat-your-homes-siding
      .
      Lastly, if they’re inside, you’ll need to be aggressively treating points of entry like windows, doors, etc. using our FS MP.
      .
      FS MP: https://bugspray.com/insecticide/aerosol/fs-mp-insectidie-15-oz.html
      .
      As for the Maxxthor outside; if you’re seeing them on the siding or concrete you should treat them directly. And be sure to use our Hose End Sprayer. Focus on cracks and gaps. With any luck – assuming you’re spraying heavy enough – the Maxxthor will permeate and get down or inside where they’re nesting and you’ll knock them out. If you don’t, they could easily rebound within a few days and if that happens, spray again. Ultimately you may need to treat the siding as our article details or in some cases, up under cement. We have the needed tools for both situations including a drill for cement and a slab treater.

      Milton,
      Maxxthor will work immediately and provide lasting residual and repellency so they won’t want to return. Use it with our Green Topped Hose End to get complete coverage of the siding as high as you garden hose will spray.
