  • 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.

    Q
    Can I use my Mosquito Barrier in my Burgess fogger?

  • Asked by Vince from Minneapolis, Mn
    03/17/2015
    Q
    Does Mosquito Barrier work on Asian Beetles?
    A
    Mosquito Barrier is not labeled to treat for Asian Beetles. 

    Demand CS is labeled for a variety of insects, including Asian Beetles. The key is to treat early enough (early fall) and to apply the product in the right places. Asian beetles enter the structure through cracks and crevices, especially around windows and doors. Be sure to treat these areas thoroughly once a month through November.   You should spray Demand CS outdoors around your door frames, window frames, vents, eaves, around the bottom of your foundation, and any other crack or crevice where an insect could gain entry.
