    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.

    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
    If I spray the Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray and don't use the whole gallon of solution, can I store it in the garage?

    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.

    Q
    Second opinion on use of Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray
    This insecticide was referred to me for gnats for my indoor house plants but now I'm seeing a lot of comments that's it's not safe for indoors?? My plan was to spray the plants outside then take the plants back in. So if it is not safe to do that, What would work best for those flying pests that are in the soil?
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is not labeled for indoor plant use so we would not recommend using it.  Instead we would recommend something like Talstar P, taking the plants outside to spray then once dry returning them inside.  Talstar can be used as a soil drench to kill any larvae in the soil as well as a foliar spray.

    Q
    If I used 55 % malathion for army worms and it is killing them, can I still spray the talastar, and how long s
    A
    If you are seeing the desired results after spraying the armyworms with Hi-Yield Malathion Insecticide Spray, then you do not need to apply another product such as Talstar P unless you are needing to retreat after at least two weeks. The only exception would be if you used the Malathion on ornamental plants and then needed a product to use on the turfgrass since malathion is not labeled for use on lawns.

    Q
    Will Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray get rid of black sooty mold on crepe myrtles?
    A

    HI-Yield 55% Malathion Insect Spray is going to kill listed insects that are the actual cause of black sooty mold such as scale and aphids. It is recommended to clean the trunks, branches and areas where black sooty mold has developed with some soapy water and rinse off. Then, follow up with an insecticide labeled to treat for scale/plant sucking insects and apply as a foliar spray application. 

    For Ornamentals, the mix rate is 1.5 to 2 fl oz per gallon of water. Refer to the product label for more information. 

    We have Identification Guides for Scale and Aphids which are the most common that feed on plants and cause black sooty mold.

    Following the Inspection Guide, you will find our Scale Treatment Guide and Aphids Treatment Guide for additional information.
