    Do I need to wear any kind of a respirator when spraying the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional?

    Q
    Can you mix the products inside of the Mosquito Control Kit with Mosquito Barrier?
    A

    Mosquito Barrier is a repellent and using them with the Mosquito Control Kit-Professional will be counterproductive. The product inside the kit are meant to kill mosquitoes, and the Mosquito Barrier will repel them from the area.

    Q
    How often during the season and what chemical do you have to treat a rural yard?
    I have a couple of acres with no standing water or running rivers or creeks nearby in northern Montana, but we do have an irrigated lawn covering about 20,000 sq ft. along with some shelter belts containing caragana. I'm looking for an effective control method for mosquitoes and biting flies. I am surrounded by open wheat fields and prairie and the nearest neighbor is 3 miles away.

    Q
    I live on 3 heavily wooded acres outside Chicago. Will the Mosquito Control Kit Professional work?
    I am going to need to invest in some sort of control. Permanent misting is too costly. Am looking at ULV treatment. Is there an advantage to thermal misting vs. blower? Is Talstar enough? Will likely be treating entire neighborhood but a larger unit doesn't get me the portability I need to go into the woods- thoughts? Initial budget ~$800...
