  • Asked by David from Bronxville Ny
    07/31/2013
    Q
    Will the Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer for Soil & Turf kill Cicada Killer Wasps and their larva?
    A

    The Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer for Soil & Turf is a granule product and is not labeled for anytime of flying insects.

    Cicada Killer wasps thrive in disturbed environments, such as landscaped yards and places where bare soil is exposed. You can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no fool proof way to prevent cicada killer wasps.For prevention you can try to use a granular insecticide such as Talstar PL  Granules in the couple of weeks before this pest is known to emerge. For current infestations, you would need to use Delta dust in each individual burrow.


    We also like to let our customers know that the Cicada Killer wasps are beneficial insects that provide free pest control for a couple months each year. Cicada killer wasps paralyze and provision their burrows with other insects to feed their young.  The beneficial Cicada killer wasps, while large and intimidating to see, are mostly harmless and there have been very few reports of anyone getting stung by just being near them. In most cases where a sting was reported, the wasps were being held or molested in some way. Cicada Killer Wasp stings are also reported to be almost painless.

    A

It is possible that you will see less of some small animals however as many of these animals are there to feed on the insects you will now be getting rid of and it is very possible that the animals will move on to better hunting grounds.

  • Asked by Chris from Wa
    10/12/2014
    Q
    How does your product work on fleas and their stages around the outside of the house and dog run?
    A
    Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer For Soil & Turf - Granules works well at killing adult fleas. However, the Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer For Soil & Turf - Granules does not have an IGR (insect growth regulator) to stop the reproductive cycle. Fleas have a rapid life cycle and reproduce very quickly and that is why an IGR is such an important component of a flea control treatment. For outdoor flea treatments we would recommend using the Outdoor/Indoor Flea Kit. The kit includes 1 pint of Onslaught Insecticide and 1 x 4 oz. bottle of Martins IGR to stop flea growth and reproduction.  We've included these products because they are easy to use, effective, and safe to use in your yard and inside the home. Both products are concentrated and need to be mixed with water before use.  You can apply the mixed solution with a pressurized hand-held sprayer or a hose-end sprayer.  This kit provides enough product to cover a typical yard (1/4 to 1/2 acre).
