  • Asked by Jeff from Denver, Co
    07/03/2017
    Q
    How much Malathion 57% do I use to kill grasshoppers in a lawn, roses and flower garden?
    A

    Malathion 57% is not labeled to be used in lawns or on flowering ornamentals so we cannot provide rates for this use.  A better option would be Talstar P which is known for being gentle on plants and is the most used product for general pests in lawns.

    Q
    How can I use Malathion 57% to control citrus flies in an orange plantation?
    A

    Malathion 57% is not labeled to be used for flies on citrus plants so we cannot provide instructions for doing so.   Azera Insecticide would be a better option.  This is a fast acting contact insecticide used in organic production to control soft and hard bodied insects that damage crops such as oranges.

  • 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.

    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.
