  • Asked by Esb from Indianapolis, In
    03/30/2017
    Q
    What can be added to Mosquito Barrier to help increase its residual?
    Are there any NON-CHEMICAL products that could be added to Mosquito Barrier in a backpack sprayer to make it either more effective or have a longer residual time? Also, are there any traditional, chemical-based products that could be added to it for the same purpose?
    A

    For non chemical products there are not a lot of options to increase the residual. You could potentially mix the Mosquito Barrier (that while states it has a residual is more of a temporary repellent and contact kill) with an all natural insecticide like Essentria IC3. Essentria will typically hold up to the outdoor elements around 30 days depending on the weather as all natural oil based products tend to break down in sunlight faster than chemical residual products. 

    For chemical products you could go with something like Bifen or Suspend Polyzone for a longer residual. But here's the issue with using any residual killing insecticide whether natural/non chemical or chemical based with Mosquito Barrier. 

    While you could tank mix the two, the Mosquito Barrier is going to work against the effectiveness of the residual product for probably at least the first week or two. You are spraying Bifen/Suspend Poly/Essentria on surfaces moquitoes would land on and harbor in so that when they touch the treated surface they pick it up on their bodies and die from it. If you are spraying Mosquito Barrier you are using it to repel the mosquitoes away from areas you dont want them or are trying to keep them from harboring. So essentially by mixing the two together, you are repelling the mosquitoes away from the Bifen/Suspend Poly/Essentria to not die from it. Outside of an initial contact kill the mosquito barrier isn't going to provide killing action for you long term, only repellency. The residual products are actually the better products to use on a consistent basis in main target areas on the property where mosquitoes would be found, and use the Mosquito Barrier around patios and hang out areas to keep them at bay until they have died from landing on the residual product treated surfaces. 

    That being said, if you choose to go with suedo chemical products, using an IGR (Nyguard or Tekko) to help stop the reproductive cycle of the mosquitoes or a larvacide (Altosid)  in standing water areas on or near the property where the main problem could be imminating from should drastically increase the results you see long term as well.

  • Asked by Christian from Miami
    09/08/2014
    Q
    Can I add Mosquito Barrier to my misting system 55 Gal? I am tired of buying Riptide and getting poor results.
    My misting system sprays 3 times a day for 50 seconds each time.
    A
    No, Mosquito Barrier cannot be used in a misting system. Riptide is only a contact kill so it will only kill what it touches. Once it is dry, it is no longer active. If you are looking for something that has a quick knockdown, as well as a residual, we would recommend Sector Misting Concentrate. A half gallon will mix in a 55 gallon misting system. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • Asked by Tom from Arlington, Tx
    05/20/2014
    Q
    Does Mosquito Barrier really work?
    I'm curious if this product will actually repel ALL mosquitos for a full month if properly applied according to the label and what recourse do I have if not satisfied its performance?
    A
    Mosquito Barrier actually does work very well, when applied per label instruction. In fact, this time of year, we can hardly keep it on the shelves. We do want to make sure our customers are satisfied with their products. You can always call us at 866-581-7378 with any concerns.

    Q
    Can I mix Mosquito Barrier with other DMOPC products?
    Mix with the BIFEN IT
    A
    Mosquito Barrier works great by itself. We cannot recommend to mix Bifen in with Mosquito Barrier because the mode of action is different. Bifen kills by the insect coming in contact with it. Mosquito Barrier repels the mosquitoes.

    Q
    Will Mosquito Barrier harm bees?
    We have a garden and many flowering plants and flowers. Is this product safe for bees?
    A

    Mosquito Barrier should not harm bees once the treated area has dried, but it could potentially harm them if they are in the area during application.  We would recommend applying in the early morning or late evening when the bees are less active in order to avoid contact.

    Q
    Will Mosquito Barrier control midge larvae or adults or spiders?
    A

    Mosquito Barrier is not labeled for spiders or midges, it is labeled for gnats though so could kill midges sprayed during application.  For spiders it would be best to use a residual product such as Cyzmic CS.

  • Asked by Glenn from Greenwood, In
    04/13/2016
    Q
    Why not just use Mosquito Barrier to kill our mosquitoes?
    It's all natural and does as much or more than others. We are trying to figure out the best and most economical way to handle our mosquito problem ourselves instead of hiring a professional. Will mosquito barrier do the trick? Will any additional products be needed?
    A

    Mosquito Barrier actually does work very well when applied according to the instructions on the product label.  In order to do a complete treatment, you will also need to eliminate any standing water sources (if any) and use a mosquito larvicide like Bonide Mosquito Beater to treat any standing water sites that cannot be controlled (such as in a ditch where water may collect after a rain).  You may want to take a moment to look over our article on Mosquito Control if you have not already done so.
