FAQs

How often should I apply Barrier Red Mite Concentrate?

Frequency depends on the level of infestation and environmental conditions. For heavy infestations, repeat applications may be necessary every few days. For maintenance, weekly or bi-weekly applications might suffice. Always follow product label instructions.

Can this product be used on puppies or kittens?

This product is primarily formulated for poultry and livestock. It is not specifically tested or recommended for use on young mammals like puppies or kittens. Consult a veterinarian for appropriate pest control solutions for these animals.

What is the shelf life of the concentrate?

Unopened concentrate typically has a long shelf life when stored correctly in a cool, dark place. Once diluted, the mixture should ideally be used within 24 hours.

How much water should I mix with the concentrate?

Refer to the product label for precise dilution rates, as these can vary. Typically, a small amount of concentrate is mixed with a larger volume of water, for example, 10ml of concentrate per litre of water.

Is it safe to use around other beneficial insects?

While natural, the concentrate is designed to kill parasites. Avoid spraying directly onto bees or other beneficial insects. Apply during times when beneficial insects are less active, such as early morning or late evening.

Can I use the concentrate in an automatic mister system?

The product is formulated for backpack sprayers. Using it in automatic mister systems may require specific dilution adjustments and equipment compatibility checks. It is recommended to use as directed for manual sprayers.

Troubleshooting

Product appears separated in the bottle.

Shake the bottle vigorously before use. The natural ingredients may separate over time, but this is normal. Ensure thorough shaking to reintegrate the components.

Reduced effectiveness of the treatment.

Ensure the product was diluted correctly and applied thoroughly to all areas where pests are present. Reapply as per the instructions, potentially increasing the frequency if infestation levels are very high.

Sprayer nozzle becomes blocked.

Ensure the mixture is properly diluted and that no large particles are present. Clean the sprayer nozzle and filter. Pre-mixing in a separate container before filling the sprayer can help.

Animal shows signs of irritation after application.

Discontinue use immediately and rinse the animal with clean water. Consult the product instructions regarding application thickness and avoid spraying directly into eyes or sensitive areas. If irritation persists, seek veterinary advice.
