    What happens if i mixed the Hi Yield 55% Malathion too strong?
    I screwed up and in a panic I misread the label and mixed it way too strong. What should I do?
    A
    Have you already used/sprayed the solution on the areas you are trying to treat? If not you can always add more water to get the ratio of product back correct. If you have already sprayed, we suggest contacting the manufacturer VPG as they would be able to tell you what effects this may have if any and what to do to correct it. VPG 1-888-583-5296

    Q
    Can Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Be Used to Ward off Golphers, Ground Squirrls, etc.?
    I had heard that Malathion could also be used to run off gophers, squirrels and other small creatures that can damage yards, is this true? Will this product kill grass?
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insect Spray is for outdoor home garden use for insectides only and is not labeled for use on lawns.  We have not heard of it being used as you described for mammals and cannot recommend for this as that is an off label usage.

    Trapping is usually the control method used for gopher and squirrel control. Please take a few moments to read over our articles on these 2 pests

  • Asked by Sergio from Dallas Tex.
    06/19/2014
    Q
    Does Malathion 55% kills fleas and at what percentage?
    A

    No, Hi-Yield Malathion 55% is not labeled to kill fleas nor is it labeled to be used in a lawn.

    We would recommend the Outdoor/Indoor Flea Kit. It comes with two products, an insecticide (Onslaught) and an IGR (insect growth regulator, Martins IGR). If you are treating inside, we would recommend that you vacuum every 14 days to help speed up the flea elimination process. A second application of the insectide may be needed after 14 days.

  • Asked by Nina from Hernando, Ms
    10/05/2014
    Q
    Our co-op sold me this product for flea control in our yard. Why should this not be used on the lawn?
    A
    The technical answer for that is on the label : "IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW TO USE THIS PRODUCT IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH ITS LABELING" and that would be the true reason. Another reason for not using this product on the lawn is because it is not targeting pest that would be found in a lawn, only those on ornamentals and trees and the listed edibles on the label. There are other products that would be more appropriate for turf pest control which you can find on our site, or by letting us know what pest you are trying to treat for so we can direct you to the best product.
