    Always the Best Multi Bug Killer Available

    By Bob on 06/28/2010

    Verified Purchase

    I've been using Malathion to control insects outdoors for many years. This product can be used on most all plants with no harm, as well as outdoor surfaces and is the most effective product I've ever used . I even spray my mulched areas, house foundation areas, bricked porch and patio, especially to control ants. If you have ant problems this is the product you want to use. Be sure to follow all directions and I wear protective gloves as the product leaves a slight oil residue and odor on skin. Use in calm weather and dilute according to directions. You may not like the slight odor this product leaves behind but it will eventually fade away but so will your bug problem! ! !

    Seems to be working!

    By Wv on 08/29/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I have problems with mosquitos and biting flies. I've sprayed twice with Malathion 57% and have noticed a decrease in both pests. This product is a residual, so it lasts a bit longer than others that are not. The only downside is the heavy chemical smell, but given the results thus far, I can live with that. I've sprayed my plants and shrubbery, and so far have noticed no ill-effects. Many thanks to you guys for your help and patience. I'll be re-ordering again.

Q
What is the rate per gallon for spider mites on tomatoes using Malathion 57%?

It gives a value of rate per acre of 1.5 pints to 2.5 pints, which I don't know how to translate to ml per gallon.

A

It would break down to 0.55 - 0.73 oz of Malathion 57% per 1,000 square feet. We would recommend using that rate in 1-3 gallons of water in a handheld sprayer. Please see the product label for complete application instructions.

A

Malathion 57% is not labeled to be used on lawns or for control of crane flies. You could use a systemic product such as Merit 0.5 G for crane fly larvae. We have more tips in our Crane Fly Prevention Guide here as well.

Q
Can Malathion 57% kill your trees if applied at full strength and not diluted with water? Can fruit be harvested if applied at full strength?

My son didn't mix with water and used it straight from container to tree. I hosed it off about 2 hours latter when I realized the mistake but some of my leaves died.

A

We would recommend contacting the manufacturer Control Solutions on their contact page regarding using Malathion 57% at full strength and the affects on edibles to be harvested.

Q
Is Malathion 57% the best for Japanese beetles?
A

Malathion 57% is labeled for Japanese Beetles and should do a great job for you when used as directed on the product label.  Malathion 57% is typically meant for treating large areas or crop land.  We would recommend Talstar P.  It is a insecticide that is labeled for lawn and ornamentals and is safe for plants, bushes, shrubs and trees.  Talstar will provide a 30 day residual on the plants that you spray and should provide relief against the Japanese beetles whereas the Malathion will only kill the ones that it makes contact with during application. Here is a great article on treating this pest for more information.

Q
Will Malathion 57% kill bag worms?

Have cedar trees many quite large, covered with bagworms. Will malathion 57% kill them, and how strong to mix it in sprayer?

A

Malathion 57% is not labelled for bagworms. We would suggest using Talstar P or Bifen IT to treat for bagworms. You will mix at 0.5 fl oz to 1.0 fl oz per gallon of water and reapply every 30 days outdoors. If they have already formed the bag, you will have to manually remove them and drop into a bucket of soapy water. You can read more on Bagworm Control here.
