Conquer insecticide can be used in a hose end, hand pump, or backpack sprayer for outdoor applications. It does not come with a sprayer as you choose the device you plan to apply it with based on your needs. 

Conquer is not labeled to be used for mosquitoes outdoors. Talstar is our most popular selling product for mosquito control.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using a sprayer.  You will need about 1 oz of product for every 1,000 sq ft of space you need to treat. The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio where you are trying to provide relief.  It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out.  Talstar should be applied every 30 days for optimum control.

Conquer Liquid Insecticide is not labeled for lice on people, there are products you can purchase over the counter for that treatment or contact your doctor.   In reality, lice cannot live off of a human and in the environment.

In the case of lice, they are not going to survive in the home as a home is not a condusive environment for them. They need the moisture and heat our bodies provide, and that direct contact to our bodies, to maintain life. We recommend reading over our article that goes into this a little more in detail and links the only product we recommend for these situations.
