A good product to broadcast across your lawn is called Bifen I/T. It treats for various types of pests and can be used both inside along the baseboards, cracks and crevices and outside as well as a broadcast across the lawn. It is safe for pets when it is dry so remove the dogs from the area while spraying. This product is not labeled for fruit trees.
For fruit trees, I would recommend Monterey Fruit Tree Spray Plus. It is broadly labeled product that can be used on edibles.
When using Bifen IT or other insecticides/miticides, we would recommend switching miticides every 30 days or so.
Bifen IT can be applied with Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker. You will mix 2 to 4 teaspoons per gallon of water when mixed with insecticides, miticides, fungicides, liquid fertilizers and herbicides.
Bifen IT cannot be used in edible vegetation. Leaf footed insects are better controlled during nymph stages, using a product like Pyganic 1.4 EC. Be sure to remove any debris piles from the orchard.
Bifen IT is NOT labeled to be used on any kind of pet bedding or play toys. Bifen IT is safe for people and pets to be around after the treated area has dried. You would want to keep the pets out of the treated area for at least an hour. We recommend Sterifab, an insecticide that kills insects on contact and is safe for pets once it dries
Bifen IT is labeled to be used to treat for bee control as we highly advise looking at our Getting Rid of Bees Guide that will provide further information on how to do a proper treatment.
Bifen I/T is labeled to kill weevils of several different forms and has shown to be successful through the studies of many universities on rhododendren. You would need to spray the entire plant down to try and not only kill the weevils but also to hopefully repel them from coming in the first place. Good plant health is a key factor in eliminating and preventing weevils of all kinds. Bifen should work to kill some currently and the most in the spring. Just use heavy water volumes to push it through the soil and retreat as necessary for new activity. If for any reason you dont see the full control with the bifenthrin you can always try something like Acephate 97 as a systemic and use the Talstar as a foliar spray and as a general insecticide spray around your home to help keep down any other unwanted pests.
Bifen IT typically only take 1 hour to completely dry on a surface and will hold up very well in the rain, but you should have a minimum of 6 hours between your applicaton and rainfall or irrigation. Bifen IT is rainfast 6 hours after the application, and is recommended to be used with a pump sprayer.
It is not necessary to wear protective clothing, however, you can when using Bifen IT. It is recommended that you keep your pets and children out of the area until the product has dried completely. It is safe to return to the area once the product has dried completely. Please check the SDS for any additional information regarding carcinogenic.
Per the product label, you are to "Take off contaminated clothing, rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes, and if needed be contact a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice."
