Stain Additives Bug Juice Insecticide NBS 30 Insect Repellent Bug Juice Insecticide is a remarkable insecticide paint additive designed to eliminate crawling and flying insects on interior & exterior surfaces. It kills crawling and flying insects ranging from ants to mosquitoes and crawling insects ranging from cockroaches to silverfish within 1-3 hours of contact with the treated surface. The active ingredient in Bug Juice is Deltamethrin. Bug Juice can be added to any oil or latex based paint, stain, or sealant. It can be applied on exterior and most interior surfaces, including kitchens and pantries. It does not repel insects, but is a contact pesticide. Bug Juice will not affect the color, surface appearance or drying time of the coating it is mixed with. It has no odor and will typically last for two years when mixed with stains or paint. One 8-ounce bottle is to be mixed with a 5 gallon bucket of paint or stain. Keep stirring stain every 10-15 minutes to keep Bug Juice from sinking to the bottom of the bucket. When using multicoat systems, add Bug Juice to the last coat or topcoat. Maintenance: With Bug Juice it is essential that you keep your home hosed down at least 2 times a year. If dust, dirt or pollen accumulates on your wood, then the bugs will land on that barrier instead of the treated surface and start drilling holes. Keeping your home free of dirt will ensure insects land on the treated surface and absorb the poison through the membranes of their feet. Bug Juice is not effective against Lady Bugs. NBS 30 Insect Repellent is designed for use in any oil or water based exterior coatings. It will deter and inhibit insects from burrowing through or crawling on exterior coatings, and is appropriate for use in residential applications. NBS 30 is effective in controlling crawling and nesting activity on painted or stained surfaces to which it has been added. NBS 30 is soluble or dispersible in commercial oil and water based paints and stains. It is a biologically natural product derived from plant extracts. Add entire contents of the container to a fivegallon bucket of exterior paint or stain, or add at a rate of 3.2 liquid ounces per gallon of coating. Mix thoroughly and stir every 15 minutes to ensure its uniform dispersion. When using multi-coat systems, add NBS 30 to the last coat or topcoat. Brush, spray or roller applications are suitable. Sheen, curing time and luster of the coating may be changed slightly by addition of the additive. Color may be affected very slightly, and would be most noticeable in pure white paint. One Pint Can - $31.95 How to treat carpenter bee holes: If you have holes in your wood from carpenter bees we have a way to fix them. Although it is a timeconsuming and seemingly endless task here's what we recommend. Get a can of WD40, install the red applicator tip and insert into the carpenter bee hole and saturate it with WD40. This will coat the bee larvae with oil and cause them to die. To prevent future access, treated holes should be sealed with a small ball of aluminum foil and caulked. Since active or abandoned tunnels may be used as over wintering sites or can be re-used next spring for nesting, it is important that they be sealed. 8 Ounce Bottle - $49.75 |
