    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

    Q
    Is Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray good for elm leaf beetle?
    Is it long lasting or will it only kill the beetle "on contact" ?
    A

    No,  Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is not labeled for elm leaf beetle. This is a contact kill for other pests though.

    We would recommend using something like Monterey Once A Year Insect Control II. It is labeled for elm leaf beetles and is used once a year around the drip zone of your tree. The mixing ratio is 1 fl. oz. per inch of distance around the trunk at breast height.

    Q
    Would Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray be a good product to use against Japanese beetles on my eggplant? Does this have the awful smell associated with malathion?
    Would this be a good product to use against Japanese beetles on my eggplant? Does this have the awful smell associated with malathion? Thanks
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is labeled to eliminate Japanese beetles, however, it is not labeled for use on eggplants. According to the Safety Data Sheet for this product, the odor is a characteristic mercaptan odor.

    Sevin Concentrate is an excellent option for use on eggplants and is labeled to eliminate Japanese beetles. The mixing rate is 1.5 fl oz per gallon of water. This product can be applied up until 3 days before harvest. The reapplication time is 7 days.

    Q
    Will Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray kill spiders?
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is not labeled for spiders so would not be recommended.  We do have a great Spider Control Kit that includes CB-80 Aerosol Insecticide for contact spraying, and Temprid FX, which can be applied indoors as a crack and crevice or spot treatment. This kit also contains glue boards, which are excellent tools for monitoring and for catching stray spiders indoors. Please see our Spider Treatment Article for more information and tips about preventing spider infestations.

    Will Malthion kill clover mites? Is it safe to spray on brick and concrete; will it stain?
    We haven't noticed any in the house, so we want to get this problem under control outside. We do see them on our front porch. Thank you.

    Q
    Can the Hi-Yield 55% malathion be used for cherry fruit flies?I see that 57% malathion has cherry fruit flies
    A

    You can only use the Malathion 55% on plants and areas listed on the product label. Since the manufacturer did not list this cherry fruit flies on their product label it is not recommended that you use the product for your intended application. Each manufacturer uses a different formulation so to avoid damage to plants or ineffective results it is recommended to use the product only as directed.

    You can use Malathion 57% for any pest listed on the product label including the cherry fruit fly as long as you are using it on listed plants or areas. Be sure to read over the Malathion 57% product label for complete usage instructions.
