    Q
    Can the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional be applied to a lawn using a pull behind sprayer?
    I need to treat an acre and a half and have a sprayer for my pre-emergent and broadleaf weed control that I would like to use for mosquito treatment.
    A

    Yes, you could possibly use a pull-behind sprayer to apply the products in the Mosquito Control Kit – Professional. Keep in mind that for mosquitoes, the 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.  For general insects you can treat the lawn though.

    We have a guide here that explains as well.

    Q
    If the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional products mist gets in the pool, is that dangerous for my kids?
    A

    You should avoid getting the products (or drift) in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional into swimming pools though small amounts that accidentally get in a pool will be so diluted that there shouldn't be any concern. It is highly recommended to cover the pool during the pest control applications (once per month).

    Q
    Will the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional work on biting black flies?
    A

    Unfortunately, there are no good answers for black fly because they are not attracted to fly traps or fly baits and there is no way to stop the larva from developing. You may want to check in with your local department of agriculture to see if they have any advice for you. 

    The insecticides (Bifen IT, Tekko Pro & ExciteR) in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional may only provide partial control for black flies if applications are made where you see the flies land. The residual insecticide in the Mosquito Control Kit, Bifen IT however is labeled for biting flies, house flies, gnats, mosquitos, and many other insects. It is a great general purpose outdoor insecticide to use mixed at 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. Please view the product label here for more information.

    Q
    How should I clean my PPE after using the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional?
    I'm thinking about using this kit, but I'm wondering how I should clean up my PPE. Any suggestions on how to clean clothing, gloves and especially boots since they are going to be soaked in this insecticide?
    A

    According to the most restrictive product label in the Mosquito Control Kit – Professional:
    Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/ maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.

    You should always remove PPE before entering living spaces or sitting on furniture, or use shoe covers if you must enter the home or other sensitive areas.

    Q
    Free Range Chickens
    I have the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional and want to know if it's safe to let chickens free range on the area that have been treated?
    A
    Mosquito control applications are not typically applied to the ground where chickens would be grazing since that is not where mosquitoes would primarily be found or harboring. You should be focusing the treatments with the Mosquito Control Kit Professional to areas of dense foliage on the property such as bushes, hedges, wooded areas, in overgrown plant areas or in ground covers such as Ivy or pinestraw, etc. Chickens will primarily be feeding on bugs and would not be impacted by any insects that could die from the insecticide should they eat them afterwards. The chickens would need to be removed from any treatment area while spraying and until everything has had time to dry completely. Should you need an alternative product if you want to spray the whole ground surface for general pests in that area, Essentria All Purpose could be used.
