Yes, the items inside of the Mosquito Control Kit will eliminate gnats as well. Be sure to follow the mixing ratios with respects to the labels.
The Altosid Larvacide is only labeled for use in sitting water to eliminate mosquitos and mosquito larvae.
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.

What setting is appropriate for you when using the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional will depend on the machine you are using and the density of the foliage that you need to treat. If you are using a Solo 451, then the lowest setting is usually strong enough for insecticide applications.
Products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional will not be washed away with rain, it is just recommended to apply when rain is not expected within 24 hours of application so that the area dries.
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.
Our Mosquito Control Kits provide excellent control of mosquitoes. The Mosquito Control Kit - Professional has everything you need. This kit contains two insecticide concentrates, an insect growth regulator (IGR), as well as a larvicide. 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.
Children should not be present duing application of items in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional until the treated surfaces are completely dried. It is safe after dry.
We would recommend our Mosquito Control Kit - Professional. It includes a great variety of products and active ingredients. 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. The key is to apply these products to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or where you are trying to provide relief. It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out during the heat of the day.
Since the key to eliminating mosquitoes is applying products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional to the underside of leaves on trees and bushes, it would not be recommended to mix with herbicide for this application. Both Trimec and SpeedZone Southern will damage or kill desirable ornamental plants. If just spraying grass you could do so, though, following each mixing rate on the individual product labels. It would also be recommended to do a compatibility test to ensure there would be no issues with tank mixing beforehand following the jar test instructions on the product label for either Trimec or Speedzone Southern. Please refer to our Mosquito Treatment Guide for more tips on eradicating this pest.
Some of the products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional are restricted to NY and CT. For non-licensed residents of those states. please see our New York Mosquito Control Kit - Heavy Population.

We can only provide the application rates for the products included in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional. Both Talstar P and Tekko Pro are diluted at the rate of 1 oz. per gallon of water. You will use 0.5 oz. of ExciteR per gallon of water. Each finished gallon covers approximately 1000 sq. ft.

We do not have a Mosquito Kit that is natural/organic but you can use an insecticide like EcoVia or Essentria IC3 around water which are both safe for aquatic life. Otherwise if using the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional avoid allowing drift or spray to contact the koi pond by keeping applications at least 10 feet away or cover if small enough during application.

You can certainly use the products in the Mosquito Control Kit – Professional to treat your property as long as your sprayer is a mister and not a ULV fogger. Be sure that there would not be any overspray onto bodies of water with aquatic life or edible plants like a vegetable garden. You want to concentrate on ornamental shrubs, low tree branches, around structures, and other spots where mosquitoes are likely to land. The Altosid Pro-G in this kit is a larvicide to use in standing water, containerized water, or spots that may flood when you have rain to prevent new mosquitoes from breeding in treated areas. Please take a look at our Mosquito Treatment Guide here for more tips.
If you are spraying on a pasture, then you need to use a product such as Essentria All Purpose which is labeled for use in these areas. You can use All Purpose near bodies of water, too.
With the exception of the Altosid, all the products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional can be used at once in a hand pump or backpack sprayer, or a mist blower.
When using Mosquito Control Kit - Professional to treat for mosquitoes, the grass really isn’t an aera that needs to be treated. Mosquitoes don’t generally land in grasses, so there is no reason to treat that area. The areas of application should be concentrated on cooler, shaded areas that the mosquitoes land on during the hottest part of the day to seek shelter from the heat. This is the underside of tree canopies, the interiors of shrubs and bushes, under eaves and soffits, etc. If these areas receive a lot of rainfall, an reapplication at around 21 days may be necessary.
The Mosquito Control Kit - Professional is safe to apply to all non-edible plants. You want to be careful about making applications on flowering plants or during the heat of the day when plants are under more stress. The key with mosquito control is to apply to the underside of the leaves where the adults lay during the day. Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes Guide for more information and helpful tips on eradicating this pest.
As long as the sprayer applies spray like a regular backpack sprayer or mistblower you can use the products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional. If it puts out sprays more like a fogging machine or ULV fogger, you cannot use it with the kit. We recommend contacting the backpack manufacturer to see what type of output the machine has.
