Q

Will Onslaught kill cheyletiella mites?
We are battling with cheyletiella mites on our dogs, but I think they get reinfested from the environment. Is Onslaught the right product to kill those mites on the floors and around the dogs' bedding?

A

Onslaught is not labeled for Cheyletiella mites and this type of mite does not live off of the host animal and do not infest the environment. This mite is contagious by direct contact with other infected animals only. If a dog is constantly infested it could mean that an egg or mite was missed/st…

Onslaught is not labeled for Cheyletiella mites and this type of mite does not live off of the host animal and do not infest the environment. This mite is contagious by direct contact with other infected animals only. If a dog is constantly infested it could mean that an egg or mite was missed/still exists on the animal or they are being introduced from contact with infested animals. We recommend that animals are seen by a veterinarian and treated according to the veterinarian's instructions.

Q

How long until I see results from Onslaught?
I sprayed onslaught around the kitchen baseboards last night for ants that were coming from under the foundation. They are small and really slow. I believe they are regular house ants. There are even more ants today. How long will it take for this insecticide to work? It doesn't seem like it helped.

Onslaught is a micro-encapsulated product which means it is a time released formula and can take a little longer to kill insects than other products. Ants can take several hours to a day or so before they die after coming into contact with treated areas. Onslaught will not stop ants from coming into an area but it will kill the ants that do. Onslaught does not transfer back to the colony. We always recommend that you use an ant bait gel or granule in addition to the insecticide spray since ant colonies can be very large and they can keep sending out worker ants. The bait will be carried back to the colony and fed to the other ants and this will help speed up the ant elimination. We also recommend spraying outdoors around the perimeter of your home to eliminate ants before they move indoors.

Treating carpets for general pests is not needed. Only when you are dealing with a pest like fleas that infest carpets would you need to do so. For general pest control, treatments should be directed to cracks and crevices inside as you should also apply a barrier outside around the perimeter. We have a great video here that shows where to spray for perimeter and interior spraying. Onslaught is a great option for them and is labeled for over 200 pests.

We can't give you a specific treatment method since we don't know exactly what species you are dealing with. You could try Onlaught Insecticide as it will hold up to the outdoor elements better with the way it is formulated, and covers over 200 pest on its label including some types of mites. You would mix 1 ounce per gallon of water and spray areas where the pest are present outdoors with the exception of edible vegetation. We suggest putting down glue boards similar to those used to catch mice and try to get some of the insect on them. You can then take a glue board to your Local Cooperative Extension office and have the Entomologist on staff help you make an identification. Once you know exactly what you are infested with, we can better direct you on a more direct treatment process.

Can we spray Onslaught Insecticide around infants?
Child 3 months old

A

Onslaught is safe to use in a home where children reside as long as you apply it according to the label and the children are out of the area while the product is applied, until it has dried. There are no extra precautions that need to be taken before re-entry.

Q

Is Onslaught FastCap anymore effective at killing bed bugs as opposed to regular Onslaught?

A

Onslaught Fastcap would offer a faster kill to those sprayed directly during application but once dry would effect bed bugs at the same rate as the regular Onslaught. This is due to the added actives in the Fastcap.

Onslaught will only kill the leaf cutter ants that come incontact with the treated areas. Leaf cutter ants can have very large colonies, making it difficult to eliminate. We recommend using Maxforce Complete Granular Bait. Maxforce Complete contains hydramethylnon which is effective, though they will usually eliminate only about 30% of a large colony in one treatment and will need to be reapplied several times. Deltagard granules would also be a recommended product. The product label recommends treating the mound directly and lightly watering the granules in.

Onslaught is a great product for chigger control. Treatments for chiggers should begin in April/May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge. You can also use Onslaught to do a barrier treatment around the outside of your home and in your crawl space to stop pests from moving indoors.

You can use either the Onslaught in the attic and shed for residual, or if you prefer a fogger you could use our Pro Control Plus-Total Release Fogger.

Q

Can I kill two pests -- flies and wasps -- with one Onslaught?
I'd like to put out protein baits instead of sugar baits, to spare the bees, but the one I've tried (chicken; salmon cat food is next) has not attracted them. It has attracted flies, though, and the question is whether I can solve both my problems. I see that Onslaught is labeled for various flies), and this seems like an obvious twofer, but I'm wondering if I've missed something.

A

Onslaught will kill anything that lands on it, so it would kill flies and any other insect, crawling or flying, that lands on it. However, you mentioned wasps, and the baiting method that you have mentioned is only known to work for yellow jackets. So if you do not have yellow jackets, b…
