Does the bug juice have to be added to a paint or stain to work or can it be applied over existing surfaces without adding to a paint/ stain.

Yes, it must be added to some type of paint, stain or sealant. It's an "insecticide paint additive." It's not meant to be used as a broadcast or spot insecticide. We LOVE LOVE LOVE it. We used it in our kitchen, around our windows (inside and out), all all over the outside. One of the places I noticed it really working was around the doorway. I hate it when you walk up to the house and there are bugs and cobwebs. We put it there and now it's tidy and bug-free. It really works. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I painted a car I restored and the paint came out beautiful. To try and compare that and answer your question is difficult. Stain has a much thinner viscosity than automotive paint. What you will need to do is adjust the fan spray pattern as well as the air mixture but it can be easily done with this unit. It is an LVLP and compared to my other guns that are HVLP, LVLP gives a much finer spray with much less overspray which will allow you to have much less loss of material from overspray as well as less orange peal. Make sure your compressor is able to provide about 10 CFM or better and keep your tank pressure as high as possible and adjust it down at the gun with a pressure valve at the gun. Be sure to test the air compressor with an empty gun by holding the trigger and making sure that after several minutes of continuous use, the pressure regulator at the gun can maintain a pressure in the peek of the green zone.

If you apply stain after putting on wet & forget it won't work at all.... Pressure wash your deck put down your stain and you won't need wet & forget .... You use wet & forget for mildew ... Once you stain you should not have the problem ... Hope this helps...

This works on everything. I suggest you put some on a Qtip, roll it on a paper towel to control the amount , swipe it, do not rub..have a polish ready to stop the removal. If it soaks in you will loose paint and have a streak or pit.

I simply cover the area with a visible coating--it disappears in a few minutes. It doesn't stain in my experience.

I had to make a new batch of bug repellant today so I used 20 drops of Bug Off in approximately 2 cups of witch hazel and shook it up really good. It smells even better than when I mixed it with alcohol and distilled water. It says on the label of the bottle I got last year to mix it with witch hazel to make a spray.

I waited 24 hrs for it to soak in. Then I used a wood stripper on it because mine was sticky. Then I used odorless mineral spirits to clean up the residual wood stripper, then I washed all that w/denatured alcohol and let that dry until there was no sign of wetness on the wood (48 hrs). Also, to make sure the bugs were gone (they were) and then put a finish on it. The stuff works and u can paint after it but the wood has to be clean.

You just bought the best bug off spray, before you wash your car shake bottle several minutes to mix any settled mixture, spray area covered in bugs, front bumper, hood, and backs of mirrors and even windshields let set for about five minutes wash car with a soapy sponge and rinse, do windshield first as to not let spray stand to long on glass, could cause hazing, you will be surprised how easy the bugs and bug guts comes off doesn't remove wax and will not harm clear coat I use it on my Corvettes, and caddies, and work cars just bought 2 more bottles for summer

I clean off any excess that gets on the paint with detailer and have not noticed any paint damage. Also, you do not spray this on. It is applied with a cloth or applicator.

You do just mix it with water. The label is actually a fold out booklet with instructions on mix strengths for the specific type of insect you are trying to kill. Too strong of a mix and the bugs will avoid it due to the smell.

I haven't tried it for stain. I only use it for bug & weed control. Those products are all the consistency of water,and uniformity is not vital.

I only used paint and thinned it out with just a little bit of water. If stain is thinner I would assume it would work. I wish I had purchased this a long time ago before I painted 4 rooms!

Absolutely not. It is applied on the skin,not the coat. Either way no stains. Been using this for years,it is one of the ones that really work. STAY AWAY from C... Store brand, does not work!

It will show a white film.But that is your protective barrier against the bugs. I'm pretty sure if you were to mop, the stain would come up...... you would just lose the protective barrier.

This isn't a spray application, you squeeze the tube and dab it on with a rag. If it gets on the paint while buffing the solution it is easily removable by wiping it down.

I would not apply it over paint. I strongly doubt that it would adhere well and would not be maintainable. I would suggest maintaining the surface with the original paint instead.

Yes, this is the same solution sold in the spray bottles... this is just more of it. I believe the instructions say to cover older, dried up stains so the enzymes in the solution have a longer time to work. Sometimes repeat applications do the trick too.
