    Hate Fleas!

    By Martin on 08/12/2012

    We were having a very annoying flea problem in our yard. My son could just walk in the yard and the fleas would be on his legs! I wanted to use Permethrin outside but was a little uncertain what type of permethrin product to buy. I read the literature and was sure that this was what I needed. I mixed the the Hi-Yield 38 according to the labeled directions adding NyGuard to the solution, and sprayed the lawn. Thank God we haven't seen any more fleas in our yard. I've got a happy wife!

    Used for Log Home carpenter bee drilling

    By Rick on 04/20/2012

    Great product! Used for about 5 years now on our log home and the bees do not drill once you spray. Mix 1.6 ounces per gallon and treat once you begin to see bees appear in early spring. DoMyOwnPestControl has the best prices, especially if you purchase a gallon. Great folks to deal with...Very fast shipping also!

Sort Questions
Q
Can you use a combination of Talstar P and Hi-Yield 38-Plus for flea control?
A

You should not mix Hi Yield 38 Plus and Talstar P together there is no benefit with mixing two insecticides together.  We would recommend adding an IGR to either one of them for flea control outside.  We also have a guide here that can help explain the best treatment.

Q
How much Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control 38% Permethrin per gallon of water do I use to treat for Euonymus Scale?
A

Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control 38% Permethrin is not labeled to treat Eunonymus Scale. Timing is critical when trying to manage euonymus scale. The hard waxy cover protects adult scale from contact insecticides. Therefore, adults treated with a contact insecticide will live to produce another generation later that year. Crawlers can be killed easily because they are small and unprotected by a cover. Thus, nearly all products specifically target this stage. 

We would recommend you use Talstar P making sure you spray under the leaves as well as the top of the leaves. You can follow that up with horticultural oil for a faster knockdown. The Talstar will leave a residual to kill new crawlers:
