    Q
    If I kill a mosquito with the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional and a bird eats the mosquito, will the bird die?
    A

    If a bird were to consume an insect killed by the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional it could potentially be harmful to the bird. It is highly unlikely since the amount of active ingredient is only large enough to kill small insects, but birds are very sensitive and there is a possibility. You can view the SDS for these products on our website here.

    Q
    Can I spray all of the items in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional on my plants?
    I live in South Florida. My yard is full of lots of trees and several of them have foliage. It would be impossible to spray without spraying the leaves or flowers. Is this safe? Will it kill my plants and flowers? If so, recommendations please.
    A

    Mosquito Control Kit - Professional is safe to apply to all non edible plants.  Key with mosquito control is to apply to the underside of the leaves where the adults lay during the day.

  • Asked by Quy from Houston

    Q
    How effective is the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional using on a lawn with irrigation system?
    If my lawn is scheduled to water everyday, how long would the chemical will last?
    A

    The products in our Mosquito Control Kit - Professional should be applied when no rain is expected within 24 hours so the same applies with irrigation systems and watering.  For mosquitoes key is to apply to the underside of leaves on trees/bushes which is there the adults lay during the day, as well as shady areas.  You would not treat entire areas of the lawn that are in full sun as it is not habitable for them there.

    You can apply Bifen and Tekko once a month.  Exciter is only a knockdown product that is used when you want to kill insects out in the open during application faster and can be used once every 7 days

    04/18/2017
    Q
    What bugs will the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional help control?
    Is it good to get rid of flies? Will it harm bees?
    A

    The Mosquito Control Kit - Professional contains Talstar P which is labeled for over 75 different pests.  Tekko Pro and ExciteR also have a broad list of insects on the label.  Altosid is the only one specifically for mosquitoes.  The kit would also help with flies if they are in the area during treatment or contact a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose.  The same also applies for bees though you can avoid harming them but applying late in the evening or early morning when they are less active in the area.

  • Asked by Rick from Port St Lucie, Fl
    09/02/2016
    Q
    What product is recommended to kill mosquitoes in bromeliad water?
    Wth the zika virus in Florida they are recommending pulling up blomeliads.
    A

    Talstar P will kill mosquitoes including those that carry Zika and other viruses/diseases commonly carried by this pest. We do not recommend using the product near water. We do carry a product that can be applied close to water areas called Essentria IC3. We would recommend adding a larvacide such as Mosquito Beater to the areas with standing water.
    Here is a link to our full comprehensive guide on Mosquito control. This guide contains step by step treatment and prevention instructions, how to videos, hot spot info-graphics and pro tips. The other link a link to a Environmental mosquito control kit that I think would suit your needs. And the 3rd link is to the most effective mosquito repellent for your skin and clothes

  • Asked by Joey from Arab, Al
    07/05/2018
    Q
    What should I use for mosquito control?
    I purchased a Stihl SR200 backpack blower/mister and I am trying to find an effective insecticide to control mosquitoes.What insecticide or combination of insecticides would you recommend?
    A

    The Mosquito Control Kit - Professional would be a great option to use in a backpack blower. This kit contains two insecticide concentrates, an insect growth regulator (IGR), as well as a larvicide so that you can treat both land and standing water. Exciter Insecticide contains natural pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide for a quick knockdown of adult mosquitoes, while Talstar P offers residual protection on mosquito resting areas. Tekko Pro Insect Growth Regulator prohibits the development of immature mosquitoes, and Altosid Pro-G is a larvicide to treat standing water or areas likely to flood. Using all of these products together is the best way to control mosquito populations. Please see our Mosquito Treatment Article for more tips and information.

  • Asked by Brandon from Sidney Montana
    06/19/2022
    Q
    I have 2 acres and a 30 gallon sprayer. What is best for this?
    I have a marsh area on one side and hay fields also close by, what is going to be best suited?
    A
    The only option we have with residual for mosquitoes/insects in hay fields would be the natural product we carry called Essentrial All Purpose
     
    https://www.domyown.com/essentria-all-purpose-insecticide-concentrate-p-14619.html
     
    For standing water in the marsh areas, you may use a larvicide product such as Altosid Pro-G. Please be sure to review the product labels for more information and complete application instructions. 
     
    If you are treating outside of the hay fields, you may use the products included in our Mosquito Control Kit-Professional. We also have a very informative article on Mosquito Control here: https://www.domyown.com/how-to-get-rid-of-mosquitoes-a-493.html

    Items in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional should dry clear when mixed correctly. ExciteR is an oil based product so make sure to not use more than the rates advised in the kit which is .5 oz per gallon of water.
