how bug barriers (e.g. Ortho Home Defense, Raid Max Bug Barrier) kill a large variety of insects for 6+ months even afte its dry?
In: Biology
The poison has a wax in it. So when sprayed on baseboards, pipes and other things bugs touch its still there sometimes up to a year indoors. The outdoor stuff is similar. The mosquito misting companies that recently started up blow a mist up under leaves and eaves. That poison mist has a wax in it also and it takes awhile for rain and weather to remove it. So as mosquitoes or any insect comes across the leaves, eaves whatever, its dead soon after.
