    Q
    Is Everygreen Pyrethrum Concentrate effective in killing termites in walls & ceilings?
    We have an house with wood slat ceilings, studs, exterior siding, with regular termite problems. I saw a pile of "termite poop" that fell from a bedroom (wood slat) ceiling. We recently had to open some walls in that same bedroom to do plumbing replacement and saw a couple of wall studs with obvious termite damage. Thanks for your advice.
    A

    No, Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate is not labeled for termites. A better option would be to use Premise Foam in the area. This will expand and kill and prevent termites for up to 90 days. 

    We would recommend checking out our Termite Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent termites in and around your home.

    Q
    Will Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate damage baseboards, wood floors, or carpets?
    We are looking for an organic product to use on the interior of the home for general pest control. We shy away from using essential-oil based products like essentria because we worry that they will cause discoloration due to the oil components. Having said that, is Evergreen pyrethrum also heavily oil based? Will it cause any discoloration to baseboards, wood floors, or carpets?
    A

    Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate is an oil-based concentrate that should not cause harm or cause discoloration to baseboards or carpeting when used at the correct labeled rates.  If there is any cause for concern, it’s recommended to spot treat an inconspicuous area first.  It should not be broadcast over carpeted areas or over hardwood flooring.  It should only be used around baseboards, doors and windows, and in cracks and crevices.

    Q
    I have a crap ton of weevils. Is there something that is effective I could try?
    A
    There are many different species of weevils, and this makes it difficult to control them because each species has a different life cycle, different food preference, different habitat, and different control method needed. Often times you will be able to identify the weevil that is causing you problems based on where you find them. For example, if you are finding damage and weevils on spruce trees, white pine weevils are probably the culprits. Getting rid of weevils is dependent on the identification of the species. We recommend contacting your local Cooperative Extension Office for a pest identification. Once we have the weevil identified we would be able to make a proper product and treatment recommendation.

    Q
    Can Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate kill St. Augustine grass?
    I mixed the product in a gallon hand held sprayer and sprayed on my lawn for a web worm problem and the grass has turn brown and dry and appears to be dead. What should I do!!!
    A

    Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate should not cause damage to the lawn unless it was under stress or the temperatures were really high when applied and too high rates were used. If this just happened sometimes adding charcoal and watering regularly could help but it has to be done right after it happens. Now you can water and basically give it time and see if it can recover.

    I need to clean of ticks a little area with Buffel grass, what the indication is for this use?
    I want to reduce the tick numbers of a Buffel pasture used to keep a few heifers on it. I want to know the dose of product per area and time to wait before introduce the heifers to the pasture and thay can start grazing.

    We would recommend using .25-.5 an oz per gallon of Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate, since ticks are harder to kill we suggest going with the higher rate. As far as the grazing goes, there is no grazing restrictions on the label. Once the product has dried, it will be safe for them to return & graze.
