The products are made from mint oil which clogs the insects spiracles (breathing holes) and over-stimulates their nervous system resulting in death.

 

Mint oil. It is extracted from the menthe arvensis plant and is found in many consumer products, including toothpaste, mouthwash, gum. Another ingredient is sodium laurel sulfate, found in shampoos and soaps.

Carbon dioxide. It is one of the safest propellant in the aerosol industry today.

The residual kill is strongest within the first week, but VictorŽ Poison-FreeŽ aerosols will continue to kill insects for up to 4 weeks. Since the products are food ingredients, they are environmentally friendly and biodegradable unlike solvent-based, toxic aerosols.

No. They are exempt from registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticidel Act (25B). The 25B act was passed by FIFRA to encourage the sale and distribution of non-toxic pesticides.

It is an environmental certification label granted by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS). SCS is a nationally-recognized organization providing independent testing and certification of environmental claims. This certification gives consumers verification that the products are safe to use.

The active ingredient in our Poison-FreeŽ sprays is food-grade mint oil extract. There is no need to wipe it up. Excess residue can be removed with rag dipped in warm soapy water.

Our Poison-FreeŽ aerosols are completely safe. Your pet will not be harmed, but he or she will have minty fresh breath!

Be sure to shake the can upside down for at least 15 seconds.

All cans should spray in the form of a mist except the Wasp & Hornet Spray Model M604. This should come out in a powerful stream. If you have a can of another variety that seems to malfunction, and you live within the United States please call our Customer Care at 1-800-1800-1819 ext. 450. We will replace the can for you.

The formulation of the Poison-Free Wasp & Hornet Spray is very close to that of the Poison-Free Ant & Roach Spray. Both formulations contain the same ingredients that will kill roaches.

The main reason why you DON'T want to use the Wasp & Hornet Spray for this is that the can is designed to dispense a high pressure stream about 15 feet. That's useful when you're on the ground and spraying a hornet nest up in the air at a distance. Used indoors, this intense stream would certainly splatter the spray all over your house, as well blowing literally blowing the roaches away.

The Ant & Roach spray comes out in a gentle, foaming mist which is necessary in applying a lethal coating uniformly over the body of the roach.

Unfortunately, we don't offer any carpet-beetle solutions at this time. I recommend reading http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7436.aspl for more information about carpet beetles.

 

No, nor are they intended to be sprayed on people.

 

Seal up the holes they use to gain access. Sometimes painting the area will help deter them.

You may want to consult an exterminator if the infestation is severe. I recommend searching Safety Source for Pest Management to find a pest control operator who uses least toxic methods.

 

These products are completely safe to use in this type of environment. Mint oil is the active ingredient. It is completely natural, and non-toxic.

 

You do need to spray it directly on the target insects to be effective. It is safe around pets, but I would try to avoid spraying it directly near them if possible. The scent might be too strong for them.

 

Our Poison-FreeŽ sprays are absolutely safe for pregnant women, children, and animals. It has a very strong mint scent that some find pleasant, while others feel it's too strong. Simply open the windows a little of the scent is too much. The sprays are 100% non-poisonous and safe.

 

Absolutely. Our sprays are Poison-Free?, which means no poisons at all.
