What do professionals use to spray for bugs? Professionals use various equipment and chemicals to spray for bugs, depending on pest and location. Equipment includes backpack sprayers for large outdoor perimeter spraying, pump sprayers for indoor baseboards and cracks, aerosol cans for spot treatments, mist blowers and foggers for large areas and mosquitoes, and truck-mounted power sprayers for extensive outdoor treatments. Chemicals used include pyrethroids like bifenthrin, deltamethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin for general insects, insect growth regulators like methoprene to prevent reproduction, and non-repellent insecticides like fipronil and chlorfenapyr for ants and cockroaches that insects cannot detect, allowing transfer to colony. Professionals also use dusts like diatomaceous earth and CimeXa in voids, and baits for ants and roaches. They use integrated pest management combining spraying with sealing entry points, moisture control, and sanitation, applying products with proper dilution, protective equipment, and targeting cracks, crevices, and harborages rather than broadcast spraying.
