    Q
    What should I use for spider mites in Italian cypress?
    Should I use malathion with or without oil? Is there something else you recommend?
    A
    Please contact your local cooperative extension office to enquire whether or not you would benefit from using oil with the Malathion in your situation. Most of our customers use Talstar P for spider mite elimination. Talstar P is gentle to use on plants and works very well for spider mites.

    Q
    How do I apply and mix Malathion 57% to kill termites?
    A

    Malathion 57% is not labeled for termitess. This product is only labled for certain insects on plants, fruits and vegetables. If you are looking for a termite control product, you could use something like Taurus SC. 

    Taurus SC is a non-repellent insecticide that is undetectable to target pests, allowing them touch, ingest and spread the insecticide throughout the entire colony. For termites, Taurus SC will eliminate termite colonies in less than 90 days on average.  

    You may also want to take a look at our Termite Guide for more information on how to treat this pest.

    Q
    Can I spray Malathion onto siding of my house?
    Every year I get red concrete mites in my backyard and on my front porch and every year I do a combination of try Azaline spray and then Malathion and it always takes care of them. This year they are also going up onto the siding of my house. I do the Malathion in a hand powered spray bottle one of the pump once my question is once I make the mixture can I spray it onto the siding of my house where they go or will it seep through and into the air in the house?
    A

    Malathion 57% is only labeled to be used on crops, plants and trees, not on a building.  We would instead recommend something like D Fense SC.
