Q&A
What is the shelf life of your BTK Insecticide concentrate?
Question by: R Scott on May 26, 2024, 6:05 PM
This product should be used within 2 years of the manufacture date for best results.
Answer by: Lauren Potter (Admin) on May 28, 2024, 10:31 AM
in follow up to my previous question, Safer's has indicated that the date of manufacture should be read as year, day, month, ie: LBL172110 is 2017, 21 day, 10 month. so according to the MSDS sheet this product would've expired (or should be used before) October 21, 2019.

Je lis sur Internet que: «Le BTK étant un organisme vivant, ne se conserve pas plus de 18 mois. Il est donc important de vérifier la date de péremption ou de fabrication sur votre bouteille. »
Je viens d'acheter ce produit chez vous, cependant,mis à part ce numéro: A081424, je ne vois aucune date de péremption ?
Expliquez-moi.

Bonjour,
Je comprends votre inquiétude et c'est une excellente question.
Le numéro A081424 sur le produit est en fait la date de fabrication. Votre produit a donc été fabriqué le 14 août 2024.
Tant que le produit a été stocké correctement (selon les instructions), il n'y a pas lieu de s'inquiéter d'une perte d'efficacité.

Please clarify your manufacturing date code and edit your previously answered questions about this appropriately. Some answers say mm/dd/yy others say year day month and another says it’s just a product revision date. The same answers also say 2 year effectiveness and another says no loss in effectiveness if stored correctly. All very confusing.
Question by: Craig on May 24, 2025, 9:13 AM
Hi, thank you for reaching us. The label should be read as month, day, and year. Store product between 0 degrees C and 20 degrees C to maintain optimal stability/longevity. As long as the product has been stored appropriately, there is no concern for reduced efficacy as a result of shelf life. Once the container is opened, the shelf life will be approximately one year.
