    Q
    What would be better the backpack Mister or towable sprayer for a 2 acre wooded area?
    I have used the Talstar P product and it works great the issue I am having is I am not sure if I should go with the backpack mister, or get a good high power towable sprayer. I want to treat a 2 acre wet wooded area around my house and hit the house as well to keep ants and spiders out. Does the mister use less product, provide better coverage, or is faster or is it just a function of which I have more use for? I could see the towable sprayer having the advantage of the large capacity but may not be able to get as fine of droplets.
    A
    We recommend using the 451 Mist blower as a means to treat higher areas than pump sprayers will reach. Most hand help pump sprayer will only spray approx. 15 feet into the air. The mist Blower can get heavy, so it may be easier to use the towable sprayer for the coverage area.

    Q
    Can I apply the products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate around horse watering troughs? What if the mist gets into the trough?
    If we are spraying around our trees and it gets into the watering troughs, do we need to dump them out or will they be ok? I would also like to spray around our pond if it gets into the pond will the fish be ok?
    A

    If any spray from the products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate got into the troughs, they need to be dumped out.  Keep spray at least 25 feet from the pond.

    Q
    Will products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate control biting insects and common black flies, too?
    Hello, our large river front field also produces some nasty ankle biting insects and common black flies, will the products in the mosquito control kit kill them as well?
    A

    The insecticides in our Mosquito Control Kit – Ultimate are broad-spectrum products which will treat other flying  and crawling insects. Talstar P is a residual insecticide, ExciteR is a contact kill product, and the Tekko Pro is an Insect Growth Regulator which targets many, but not all, insects. The Altosid Pro-G is a larvicide for mosquitoes, specifically, for use in containerized water and standing water. If you have regular house/filth flies in the area, then you can also use products specifically for them, such as Flies Be Gone disposable fly traps.

    Q
    Will the Solo mosquito control products kill lightning bugs too?
    A

    Are you referring to the products that come in the Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate (which includes the Solo 451)?  If so, then yes - most insecticides are not really selective in what they kill, so these products would also kill lightning bugs if the lightning bugs were to come into contact with a treated area.

    Q
    Can I add Onslaught to the recommended mixture in the Mosquito Conrol Kit?
    How much Onslaught would I use?
    A

    You can use either Onslaught OR you can use the Talstar that is included in the Mosquito Control Kit-Ultimate, but you would not ever mix Talstar and Onslaught together to use at the same time. If you want you can rotate every other treatment with Onslaught and Talstar each time you treat every month.  Onslaught would be mixed at 0.5 to 1 oz per gallon of water.

    Q
    Can the Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate be adapted to my leaf blower?
    A

    Although, the Solo 451 is similar to leaf blowers the products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate are not labeled to be applied with leaf blowers. We could not recommend it.
