    Q
    How long does the chemical in Hi-Yield 55% Malation Insecticde Spray last?
    a house was sprayed inside with malathion several years ago and has sat vacant since.
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is generallly used for outdoor home garden use for select pests. Since this is labeled to be used on edibles in a garden the residual of the product is not that long. If the house has sat vacant for several years there would be nothing left behind at this point. You could wash the area/areas with soap and water for your own peace of mind if need be since that is all that is needed when eating things out of a garden once this product is used on them.

    Q
    Do you recommend Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray to prevent wasps building nests in the cracks between the bricks and trim of my house?
    They are actually getting in the walls.
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray would not be the product we would recommend for your application. We would recommend Onslaught Insecticide. This perfoms well on porous surfaces like concrete and brick without the visible residue of wettable powders, and will give you a long lasting residual as well.

    05/23/2016
    Q
    Can I mix 55% Malathion with Triple Action at same time?
    A

    You could potentially mix Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray with Triple Action, however these products work so similarly that we would suggest using them in alternate applications rather than together at the same time. This would also help to reduce the risk of phototoxicity (burning) on treated plants.

    Q
    Can I safely spray Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray concentrate on knock out roses?
    We have tent caterpillers (ms) every year at this time..Can I spray my roses safely?
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is not labeled specifically for use on roses. We would recommend avoiding spraying the flowers themselves, or you could choose a product that is specifically labeled for use on roses and other flowers. Bonide Systemic Insect Control would be a good choice for long-term systemic control, and Hi-Yield Thuricide Concentrate is a great choice for contact kill.

    Q
    Is it dangerous to use Hi-Yield Malathion in the house to kill bed bugs?
    A

    Hi-Yield Malathion insecticide is not labeled for bedbugs at all, and is not even labeled to be used indoors for any pest. It is an outdoor only use product for pests that would affect ornamentals and lawns. If you are looking to eliminate bedbugs we would highly suggest you review our Bed Bug Guide that goes over step by step instructions, charts and how to videos for eliminating the quickest and most appropriate way, as well as going with one of our Bed Bug Kits. The Bed Bug Kits that we have put together will not only help you get the best results with professional grade products, but they provide you with products to use in all the areas of the room that you need to treat and enough product to treat multiple times, all while being discounted for purchasing them together in the kit, rather than separately. Bed bugs require multiple repeat applications with appropriately labeled products until you can go 30 days in a row with no new bites or signs of live bedbugs.

    Q
    Will Malathion kill lice?
    A

    We do not recommend using Malathion to treat for lice. It may suffocate them should they come in contact with it, but is not a recommended source of treatment. Malathion also is not labeled for indoor use. Please visit out Lice control page. Sterifab is a top recommended product for Lice Control. Greenway Formula 7 is designed to be used on Head or hair, beddings, pillows, movie theater seats, plane seats, bags, etc.
