Mavrik Perimeter should be applied using only a handpump or backpack sprayer.
Mavrik Perimeter is not labeled for crane flies. It is also not labeled for a broadcast treatment across your lawn. It is mainly used for use around ornamentals and the perimeter of your home.
A granule insecticide, such as Talstar Xtra, would be a good option for you to use. It is labeled for crane fly larvae and because of how and where you are using it, bees should not be affected. Be sure not to apply this product when bees are not actively foraging, which would be during the day. This product does need to be watered in to activate.
Mavrik Perimeter is not labeled for use on horse/cattle pastures for pest control. We recommend that you consult with the Dept of Ag for a recommendation for livestock/grazing areas.
Mavrik Perimeter provides more a knockdown/quick kill of the listed insects listed on the product label. Depending on the severity of pest infestations, a re-treatment may be necessary at 7–14 days for heavier mosquito populations but typical retreatments can be done every 28 days for low or general pest control maintenance applications.
Please view our Mosquito Treatment Guide for more information and our Mosquito Control Kits for additional product recommendations.
