    Q
    Is it okay to mix these products with Thermidor SC (in the correct concentration?)
    Is it okay to mix these products with Thermidor SC (in the correct concentration?)
    A
    We don't recommend mixing Mosquito Control Kit - Professional or any other products with Termidor as Termidor has restrictions on where it can be applied and is a true non -repellent. Mixing any products with the Termidor could alter the affects that Termidor gives.

    Q
    Applying with a backpack sprayer...
    When applying ALL 3, Telstar-P, Archer and ExciteR with a backpack sprayer, what is the best mixing ratio of each per gallon? The included directions aren't the clearest!
    A
    Dilute Archer IGR at a rate of 1 oz. of concentrate per gallon of water or per 1,000 square feet. Dilute Talstar P at a rate of 1 oz. of concentrate per gallon of water or per 1,000 square feet of area to be treated. Dilute ExciteR at a rate of 0.25 - 0.50 oz. of concentrate per 1,000 square feet for most applications. Higher rates may be used for cleanout of very heavy populations: see the product label for complete use rates.

    05/26/2024
    Q
    Does this work on gnats, horseflies & deerflies?
    Also, will it hurt hummingbirds or bees?
    A
    The Talstar P Professional Insecticide , Archer IGR and ExciteR Insecticide are also labeled to treat flies. These insecticides are toxic to bees and it will kill any insects that come into contact with treated areas. You can reduce the risk to bees and birds by keeping applications away from areas where the bees are actively foraging and at times when both birdsd and bees are not active in general.

    Q
    Spraying/fogging backyard and tomato plants and citrus.
    I'm going to use a fogger to treat my residential lot - 1/4 acre. My neighbor and I have tomato plants and small citrus trees in pots. As long as I don't spray in those areas and don't treat on a windy day, am I ok using this or should I cover them before spraying, or use different products? Also wondering if this will harm the birds that eat the berries off my holly trees.
    A
    We recommend covering any edibles and treating on a non windy day avoiding those areas and when the birds are not in the area. Let us know if we can help with anything else. We appreciate your business!

    07/28/2023
    Q
    Does it kill biting gnats also?
    I have lots of biting gnats I'm my lawn. Does it kill them also or I have get something else?
    A
    The products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional definitely will help control a wide variety of flying and crawling insect pests. Keep in mind, though, that if you live in a hot and humid area with lots of rainfall, you cannot expect to locate and adjust all the breeding sites where small insects are breeding. They are too integral a part of the environment there to expect to (or want to) kill them all. 
     
    We recommend using additional tools, such as personal insect repellent, to help deter any biting insects. Using fans where you spend time outdoors is an excellent deterrent for small flying insects in those areas as well.

    Q
    Is it ok to use lesco spreader sticker with mosquito pro k it and if so what rate i
    The label says 2-8ounces of spread of sticker per hundred gallons, but doesn't really talk about using a mister backpack sprayer
    A
    It is not required to use a surfactant with any of the products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional, but adding one may increase the effectiveness and help them stick to waxy leaves better. I do not see we carrry the lesco sticker, so we do not have a label. But if the label gives rates per 100 gallons, then divide that rate per 100. Meaning it would be .02-.08oz per 1 gallon of water.

    Q
    Will this product affect bats if they eat any of the treated mosquitos?
    A
    If a bat were to consume an insect killed by the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional it could potentially be harmful to the bat. It is highly unlikely since the amount of active ingredient is only large enough to kill small insects

    Q
    Application w 45gal boom sprayer
    Does the Talstar mix ratio of 1oz to 1gal of water also when used with 45gal sprayer? Thanks
    A
    Yes, since you have a 45-gallon boom sprayer, the rate for Mosquito Control Kit - Professional would be as if you are mixing it to 1 gallon. 1 oz of Talstar to 1 gallon, so you will need 45 oz total.

  • Asked by Lisa from Toms River New Jersey
    07/25/2018
    Q
    What combination of products can I use for mosquito control?
    flies too
    A

    We would recommend our Mosquito Control Kit - Professional. The kit contains products with different active ingredients that target different stages of mosquito development for the most thorough population control.This kit contains two insecticide concentrates, an Insect Growth Regulator, 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 IGR prohibits the development of immature mosquitoes, and Altosid Pro-G is a larvicide to treat standing water or areas likely to flood. Apply spray solution to adult mosquito resting areas, including ornamental plants such as dense brush, tall grasses, and especially the undersides of leaves on trees and bushes. Also treat resting areas on structures such as under eaves or other overhangs, under decks and porches, and in other moist, shady areas where mosquitoes may rest or breed.

    Talstar P is also a great residual product for fly control. Please see our Flies Pest Guide for more information.
