We have a mosquito problem and to use Permethrin SFR 36.8% Will this harm flowering plants? Thanks
Permethrin SFR 36.8% is labeled to be sprayed on ornamentals safely as directed on the label but is not labeled for mosquitoes around homes, only on livestock and livestock premises. Talstar P would be a better option. For mosquitoes key is to apply to the underside of leaves on trees/bushes which is there the adults lay during the day, as well as shady areas. You would not treat entire areas of the lawn that are in full sun as it is not habitable for them there.
