    Q
    Can I put Malathion 57% on my dogs for fleas?
    A

    Malathion 57% is NOT labeled for use on any animals. This product is only labeled for certain insects on plants, fruits and vegetables and specifically states that it is harmful to animals. Please refer to the product label for how to use it in the proper areas only. If you are looking for a product safe to use on your pet for flea control, you could use Permethrin SFR which has a very low dilution that is safe to be used on pets by either wiping it on with a towel or using it carefully as a dip.

  • Asked by Tom from Wisconsin
    09/01/2017
    Q
    Does using Malathion eradicate the bugs so the voles go elsewhere in search of food?
    I have ground voles in my lawn causing many disturbing mounds of soil in their pursuit of insects under the lawn surface. Is this true. Been looking for a resolution, something short of dynamite, for a long time.
    A

    Malathion 57% is not labeled to be used on lawns for lawn pests.  Also voles spend a lot of time above ground and they eat plants, not insects, like moles.  We would recommend reading over our guides on moles and voles to be sure you have correctly identified what you are dealing with.  There are also helpful treatment guides as well.

    Q
    Malathion 57% is widely used for elimination of bedbugs in Eastern Europe. Would you recommend it?
    A
    No.  We cannot recommend Malathion 57% for killing bed bugs because bed bugs is not a target pest on the product label.  We recommend our Bed Bug Kits which come with proven products labeled to treat not only bed bugs, but their eggs as well.  Our kits also come with complete instructions on how to properly apply the products in the bed bug kits.

    Q
    Is there a mixture ratio for Malation 57% for a small garden per 1 gallon of water?
    Would like to know if there is a catch all mixture for a small garden about 450 Sq ft. Of Cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, parsley etc And does this product work on pomegranate trees.
    A

    When using Malathion 57%, each of the vegetable and fruits you have listed have a different ratio to use per gallon of water. You would use any where from 0.15 - 0.28 fl oz per gallon of water for each one you have listed with squash requiring the most of 0.28 fl oz per gallon. However, watermelon only requires .15 fl oz per gallon. So unfortunately,  there truly is no catch all for your over all garden that would cover everything based on the product label
