Apply prepared solution to indoor and outdoor surfaces where insects rest or harbour.
Internal harbourage sites include (but are not restricted to) areas such as walls, fly screens, behind and under sinks, under furniture and indoor plants.
External harbourage sites include (but are not restricted to) areas such as building exteriors,
eaves, walls, fences, also garages, sheds, gazebos, ornamental plants, bushes, shrubs, hedges, shady or damp areas around buildings. Reapply as necessary.
When applying to vegetation, ensure that spray penetrates entire plant or hedge and covers both leaf surfaces.

Target Pests
Surefire Mosquito Slayer is formulated specifically for the control of mosquitoes (various Culex, Aedes, and Anopheles species). Pyrethrins act as a fast-acting contact insecticide and knockdown agent, targeting adult mosquitoes on contact. The product is suited to treating mosquito harbourage areas including vegetation, shrubs, shaded surfaces, and surrounding environments where adult mosquitoes rest. Refer to the product label for the full list of approved target situations and any additional pest species listed for control.
Surefire Mosquito & Midge Slayer contains 100g/L Bifenthrin and is registered for the control of adult mosquitoes and midges on external surfaces of buildings and structures. It delivers both knockdown and residual action — insects are killed on contact with the spray and also by resting on treated surfaces afterwards. Always read the product label in full before use and follow all directions, including dilution rates and application volumes as specified on the label.
To apply, mix the product with water at the rate stated on the label and load into a suitable hand or knapsack sprayer. Apply the prepared solution to surfaces where mosquitoes and midges rest or harbour.
Internal harbourage areas include walls, fly screens, under sinks, under furniture, and around indoor plants.
External harbourage areas include building exteriors, eaves, walls, fences, garages, sheds, gazebos, ornamental plants, bushes, shrubs, hedges, and shady or damp areas around buildings.
When treating vegetation, make sure the spray penetrates the entire plant or hedge and covers both sides of the leaves. Reapply as necessary, in line with label directions.
Tips:
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as directed on the label, including gloves and eye protection.
- Keep children and animals out of treated areas until surfaces have dried.
- Avoid applying when rain is expected — rainfall will wash the product off treated surfaces and reduce its effectiveness. Check the label for the required rain-free period.
- Store securely away from children, food, and stockfeed.
Always read the current registered product label before use. Dose rates and withholding periods on this page are provided as a guide only. The registered label supplied with the product is the legal document and takes precedence. If in doubt, contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 or the manufacturer directly.
Tips for Best Results
- Apply at the right time of day: Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk — treating during these windows increases contact with active insects and improves knockdown. Avoid applying in the heat of the day when mosquitoes are sheltering and pyrethrins break down more rapidly in UV light.
- Minimise UV and heat exposure: Pyrethrins degrade quickly when exposed to sunlight and high temperatures. Applications in shaded harbourage areas will provide better residual activity than open, sun-exposed surfaces — particularly important in Queensland's intense summer conditions.
- Check wind conditions before spraying: Apply when wind speeds are calm to low. Spraying in strong winds causes drift, reduces coverage on target areas, and increases the risk of off-target exposure to beneficial insects, waterways, and bystanders.
- Rotate chemistries where possible: Repeated use of pyrethrins alone may contribute to insecticide resistance in mosquito populations over time. Where ongoing treatments are required, consider rotating with products from a different chemical group (mode of action) as part of an integrated pest management approach.
- Store correctly: As an S6 poison, store in a cool, dry, locked location away from children, food, feedstuffs, and ignition sources. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after use. Dispose of empty containers according to label directions and local council requirements — do not burn or crush containers.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
