We honestly do not know what brands of insecticide Billy the Exterminator uses. We do know that he uses pyrethrin based insecticides because they are more environmentally friendly. Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate is a pyrethrin based insecticide but it is not labeled for use on wasps. We recommend using something like Wasp Freeze. Wasp-freeze is specially formulated to provide instant knockdown of yellow jackets, wasps and hornets. Knockdown is quick so no stinging pheromone is released, thus reducing the possibility of stings. The Wasp Freeze can has a jet nozzle that will spray up to 15 ft away.

Q

Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate vs. ExciteR?

It is possible to tank mix Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate with a neem oil as long as the other product label does not prohibit such mixing. We would not recommend mixing these two or any other two oils on plants that are under stress from drought, heat, or disease or in very hot temperatures to avoid the risk of phytotoxicity. The rate at which you dilute Evergreen will depend on your application equipment, target pest, and are of application. Please refer to the product label for complete rates and application instructions.

Yes, Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate will kill Ticks. However, Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate does not provide long term protection, it is a contact kill only. This means that Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate must be sprayed on the tick directly in order for it to kill the tick. We would recommend our Tick Control Kit for better results. This kit contains 1 quart (32 oz.) bottle of Permethrin SFR 36.8% and 1 pint (16 oz.) bottle of Archer IGR. The Permethrin SFR provides knockdown and residual control of adult tick populations while the Archer IGR disrupts the life cycle of ticks by preventing immature stages from developing into adults.

The Roach Control Kit #2 is perfect for roach control problems in homes and apartments. This professional kit includes 1 packet of Demon WP Insecticide (which makes 4 gallons of finished solution) for spraying the outside perimeter of the home and inside underneath appliances, behind cabinets, under toilets and sinks, etc. You'll also get 4 x 30 gram tubes of Advion Roach Bait Gel--one of the best roach baits on the market. Advion can be applied up high in the kitchen in the corner of cabinets and in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms. The bait contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, who also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. Finally, 20 Gentrol Point Source stations provide an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) that will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. The combination of an IGR with roach bait is a highly effective roach control strategy that is widely used by pest control professionals. Demon WP must be applied with a 1 gallon pump sprayer. Please also take a few minutes to read our article How to get rid of roaches as it contains many great tips that should help you get rid of the infestation.

The Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate is ONLY a contact kill and will not provide any residual which is what you need for flea and whitefly control. If you are having a problem with whiteflies on a tree, you would want to use something like Dominion 2L. This product is one that only requires a tiny amount of product to work, and you would use it as a soil drench around the base of whatever tree or shrub the whiteflies are on as long as it is not a tree which produces food you plan to consume. The Dominion will be soaked up through the root system of the tree and treat the tree from the inside out to get rid of the whitefly and will stay in the tree for up to 1 year. For Flea Control outdoors you would want to use Talstar and NyGuard IGR. The Talstar is the liquid insecticide you would use to kill the adults and the NyGuard is the birth control that keeps the larvae from growing into reproducing adults as well as halting reproduction in the adults. The birth control is one of the biggest factors in control the fleas. Keep your grass very short and dry as this makes it harder for the fleas to thrive on your property. If you have pets make sure they are on a flea preventative to keep the number being brought into your home at a minimum. For inside the home use NyGuard Plus to spray down all floors, furniture, pet bedding and areas where the fleas are present. This is an aerosol so no mixing is needed and is easier for indoor applications and it has the birth control and insecticide built into the can together. Vaccuuming is going to be key indoors to control the fleas as well and you can review our article on How To Get Rid Of Fleas Indoors for further tips. All of these products are safe when used according to the label and you would simply keep pets and children out of the area you are treating until it has dried.

We do carry Bonide Fruit Tree Spray which is labeled to be used on apple trees. You can spray it on with a hand pump sprayer or if the tree is very large and a hand pump sprayer won't do, you can use the Chapin Slide Pump Sprayer. The brass pump develops pressure up to 150 psi and allows you to reach targets over 30 feet away.The Chapin Slide Pump Sprayer offers maximum portability and can be used in any container simply by dropping the weighted strainer into the solution and pumping with the slide pump.

First, you want to thoroughly clean the trash cans, and try and locate the source of the maggots. Next, you can apply Cy-Kick aerosol in and around the trash cans. Cy-Kick aerosol leaves a residual that keeps on killing for weeks.

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.

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.
