Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HOT SHOT from 3G Electric.
What types of insects do HOT SHOT products target?
HOT SHOT products are formulated for specific insect groups. Crawling insect products target ants, cockroaches, fleas, spiders, and beetles. Flying insect products target house flies and yellowjackets. Some products, like the HOT SHOT Fogger with Odor Neutralizer, are designed for both flying and crawling insects. Each product label specifies the targeted insects, so buyers should match the product to the pest species present.
Are HOT SHOT insecticides safe for use around food processing areas?
HOT SHOT insecticides are DEET-free and formulated for indoor use, but they are not specifically labeled for use in food processing areas unless the product explicitly states it is safe for such environments. For industrial kitchens or food plants, users must follow all label directions and consider using bait traps or gels that minimize airborne residues. Always consult local regulations and the product's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before application in sensitive areas.
What is the difference between HOT SHOT bait traps and aerosol sprays?
HOT SHOT bait traps, such as the Ant Killer (SKU 36WG40), use a bait box that attracts insects to a poisoned food source, which they then carry back to the nest, eliminating the colony over time. Aerosol sprays, like the HOT SHOT Crawling Insect Killer (SKU 799UW5), provide immediate knockdown on contact and are suitable for spot treatments. Bait traps are better for ongoing control, while sprays are for rapid elimination of visible insects.
Can HOT SHOT foggers be used in occupied spaces?
HOT SHOT foggers, such as the Fogger with Odor Neutralizer (SKU 821X65), are designed for indoor use but require the area to be vacated during treatment. The product label specifies that people and pets must leave the treated area and remain out until the fog has settled and the space has been ventilated according to instructions. Typically, this involves a 2-4 hour wait followed by airing out the room.
What container sizes are available for HOT SHOT products from 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks HOT SHOT products in various container sizes to suit different application needs. Aerosol sprays range from 1.2 oz to 14 oz cans, with multi-pack options like 3-packs. Bait traps come in 4-packs. Gel tubes are 2.5 oz, and powder bottles are 16 oz. Buyers should check individual SKU specifications for exact dimensions and pack quantities.
Are HOT SHOT products effective against cockroaches?
Yes, HOT SHOT offers specific products for cockroach control, such as the Roach Killer (SKU 36WG39) in powder form and the Roach and Ant Killer (SKU 36WG32) in gel form. These products are formulated to target cockroaches and can be applied in cracks, crevices, and other hiding spots. For best results, combine with sanitation measures and use bait stations for ongoing monitoring.
