Big Time Exterminator, 5 gal

Big Time Exterminator Concentrated Insecticide, 5 gal

Spider mites, broad mites, russet mites, fungus gnats, and root aphids are among the most destructive pests in indoor and greenhouse growing environments. Many contact insecticides lose effectiveness over time as pest populations develop genetic resistance — requiring product rotation and stacking to maintain control. Products that rely on chemical rather than mechanical modes of action are particularly prone to this resistance buildup.

Big Time Exterminator is a highly concentrated insecticide that kills spider mites, broad mites, russet mites, fungus gnats, root aphids, and other hard and soft bodied insects through a mechanical killing action — which means pests cannot develop genetic resistance to it over time. It leaves no odor, residue, or taste after application, and breaks down to inert in 48 hours. It is safe to use from early growth stages through day of harvest. Available in five gallons.

Key Features & Benefits

• Kills spider mites, broad mites, russet mites — covers the three mite species most commonly found in indoor growing environments, including both foliage and root zone pests.
• Kills fungus gnats and root aphids — effective against root zone pests as well as foliar pests — a broad spectrum for indoor grow room pest control.
• Mechanical killing action — mechanical mode of action means pests cannot develop genetic resistance over repeated applications or generations.
• No odor, residue, or taste — leaves no detectable odor, residue, or taste on treated plants after application.
• Breaks down to inert in 48 hours — active components break down to inert within 48 hours, allowing safe use up to day of harvest.
• Highly concentrated, 5 gal — concentrated formula available in five gallons.

Who Should Use Big Time Exterminator (5 gal)

Indoor and greenhouse growers dealing with spider mites, broad mites, russet mites, fungus gnats, or root aphids — particularly where resistance to conventional insecticides has made other products less effective.

Application and Safety

Big Time Exterminator can be applied from the early growth stage through the day of harvest. The 48-hour breakdown time means treated plants do not need to be held before harvest. No gloves, respirators, or protective equipment are required. Because the killing action is mechanical rather than chemical, no resistance development occurs with repeated use. Follow label instructions for dilution rates and application frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Big Time Exterminator kill?

Big Time Exterminator kills spider mites, broad mites, russet mites, fungus gnats, root aphids, and other hard and soft bodied insects on contact. Its mechanical killing action also kills eggs.

Why can't pests develop resistance to Big Time Exterminator?

Big Time Exterminator uses a mechanical killing action rather than a chemical mode of action. Pests develop resistance to chemical toxicity over time, but a mechanical killing mechanism cannot be bypassed through genetic adaptation.

Can I use Big Time Exterminator on the day of harvest?

Yes — Big Time Exterminator breaks down to inert in 48 hours and leaves no detectable residue, odor, or taste. It can be used up to the day of harvest.

Does Big Time Exterminator require protective equipment?

No gloves, respirator, or protective clothing are required when using Big Time Exterminator. Follow label instructions for any specific handling guidance.

How concentrated is Big Time Exterminator?

Big Time Exterminator is highly concentrated — follow label dilution instructions for the correct ready-to-use mixing ratio.
