Bug JuiceStain Additive is an odorless insecticide designed to eliminate crawling and flying insects ranging from ants to mosquitoes and cockroaches to silverfish. Bug Juice stain additive is a contact pesticide that begins to work after an insect makes contact with the treated finish. Use on interior and exterior surfaces, including kitchens and pantries.
Bug Juice Stain Additive has not been tested on Carpenter Bees by the manufacturer. Because the insecticide in Bug Juice takes 1-3 hours to work once it is in the insect's system, it may kill the first bee that starts boring, but once a hole is started there is no protection from other bees that continue to expand on the hole. If you are looking for a paint additive to deter Carpenter Bees, use NBS 30. |
Bug Juice will not affect the color or drying time of the coating it’s mixed with however, it is known to significantly reduce the transparency and gloss of the clear Lifeline Advance Topcoat. The finish mixed with Bug Juice must be used within 3 hours if added to a latex-based (water-based) coating or 6 hours if added to an oil-based coating. For mixing with oil based finishes, Penetrol is recommended. (BugJuice is not recommended for use with ProLuxe (Sikkens) stains and finishes due to a lack of testing). Bug Juice will last for the life of the coating it is mixed with and is EPA registered. Do Not Freeze. Made in the USA.
