    Q
    Can this Malathion Spray be used to treat scale on a mango tree?
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide is not specifically labeled for scale on mango trees.

    A better option would be the Fruit Tree & Vegetable Systemic Soil Drench. It is labeled for scale and can be used on mango trees. Be sure to check the label for the specific amounts that should be used on your trees.

    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.

  • Asked by Ed from Ocean Springs, Ms
    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.

    Does Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray kill earwigs?
    A

    No, the Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is not labeled to be used for treating earwigs.

  • Asked by Rose from Monroe, La

    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.

    Q
    Will Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray destroy earwigs in the vegetable garden?
    Earwigs have began to invade our corn crop. We have tried other products with little success.
    A

    No, Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is not labeled for earwigs.

    We would recommend using Fertilome Triple Action. This is safe for use on and around edibles and will eliminate earwigs. The mixing ratio is 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This can be used every 14 days to keep the pests out.

  • Asked by Sharon
    05/27/2017
    Q
    Does the petroleum in the Hi-Yield 55% Malathion mean it is an oil?
    I need to treat my roses (not when they are in bloom). However, I can not use neem oil because it fries the leaves when it is hot. I was told by the local rose society not to use ANY type of oil products here in SE Florida because they will all fry the leaves. So I am trying to determine which of your products for mites do not have an oil base..... thank you
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is an oil-based product.  An alternative water-based product for mites would be Talstar P, though no product should be used during the heat of the day to prevent burning.  Apply early morning or late evening, avoiding blooms.

  • Asked by Janet
    10/23/2017
    Q
    What will kill webworms but not flowers or shrubs?
    We have web worms all over the sides of our house. Do web worms lay eggs or how do they reproduce?
    A

    Webworms aka tent caterpillars, form their webs on bushes, tree trunks etc so the hatched young have something to eat.  While they may be on the home/walls this would not be where they would form the nest/tent treating the property as a whole will help with elimination if caught early enough. There is a great article here that might help.

  • Asked by Schelia from Camden,ar
    10/21/2011
    Q
    I have a lot of fleas outside and small roaches inside. Can you recommend something?
    A
    Bifen IT would be a good choice for the fleas outside and the small roaches inside. You should also add an Insect Growth Regulator such as Martins IGR to control the developing insects that are usually hidden away and are not controlled by insecticide alone. A roach bait gel such as the Maxforce FC Roach bait Gel should be used to get rid of the roaches that are located in areas where you cannot spray. Please take a few moments to read our articles How to Get rid of Fleas and How to Get Rid of Roaches to learn more about controlling these pests.
