    Q
    We are having a problem on with no-see-ums.
    A
    Onslaught is labeled for a wide variety of small flying insects including gnats, midges and other small biting flies and should help reduce the amount of noseeums on your property. Be sure to spray the areas where you have noticed the noseeums landing or resting as Onslaught will only eliminate those insects that land on treated areas.

    Q
    Can I use Onslaught to bait for yellowjackets?
    I live in the country so tracking down the nest is impossible. In the past when I've used your product I found that the jackets eat the bait w/o your poison in it but as soon as I put the poison in the bait they won't eat it. IE a few nibble but then all avoid. I tried lower doseages as well
    A
    Yes, you can add 1/4 tsp of Onslaught to 12 oz of bait to put into the bait stations for eliminating yellow jackets. We carry the product and the stations in our Alpine Yellow Jacket Kit.

    Q
    I am looking for a poison that can be added to meat to kill yellow jackets only. Do no want to kill non aggress
    A
    Onslaught is currently the only EPA approved insecticide for baiting yellow jackets.  It is not selective though and anything that contacts or eats the treated meat could die as well.  We recommend mixing 1/4 teaspoon of Onslaught per 12 oz. of bait.

    Q
    Is Onslaught a good choice for treating springtails?
    I've been spraying onslaught in cellar and switching outdoors between Onslaught and Transport GHP. I've applied Demand G granules in the mulched areas. I also have cut bushes down around house and thinned mulch.
    A

    Applying Onslaught to indoor cracks and crevices, outside and entry points is great! Transport GHP will also be effective for springtails. Demand G granules will last longer outdoors. The key is to continue the applications as directed and eliminate as much moisture off the property as possible. They are attracted to areas of moisture and it is good that the mulch was reduced. Please take a few moments to review our article on eradicating springtails for more helpful information.

    Q
    Should I use Suspend SC or Talstar P to treat for rat mites?
    I have already sealed up entry points into attic and have trapped the rats, but I still have rat mites in my home and want to know if Suspend SC or Talstar P is better for spraying around the inside and outside of the home?
    A

    If this has been an ongoing problem we would first recommend to get the pest identified by an entomologist. If it's recent and you've had the pest identified, then we would recommend that you use Onslaught Insecticide. Onslaught is specifically labeled for mites.  You will use 0.5 oz per gallon of water around baseboards and cracks and crevices. Before your application, it is strongly recommended to thoroughly clean and vacuum the areas of activity first.

    Q
    What is the best way to treat for yellow jackets in the ground?
    Over the counter products have not worked.
    A

    Onslaught SC is a superior product to treat for yellow jackets whether in the yard or under eaves of roofs, patios, porches, etc. It is also labeled for over 200 other insects and great to use as part of a general pest control program inside and outside the home.

    For stinging insects such as yellow jackets, wasps, hornets, bees, etc, the best time to treat is at night when they are less active. Mix Onslaught SC at 1oz per gallon of water and spray a 2-3ft radius around the entry point in the yard working your way towards the opening. Next, adjust the nozzle on your sprayer to a pin stream spray. Apply the liquid concentrate directly to the interior of the nest. We alway receommend having a can of Wasp Freeze while treating and spray any emerging yellow jackets directly for a fast kill. With this combination you are killing the adult yellow jackets and leaving behind a residual to kill any hatching yellow jackets. 

    Another option is to dust the opening of the holes with an insecticide dust labeled for yellow jackets such as Tempo 1%. This is applied with a bellow hand duster directly into the holes and will be a direct contact as they enter and exit the nest and also treat any newly hatched yellow jackets. 

    It usually takes 3-4 days to fully kill a nest but if needed, reapplications can be done as necessary. Please take a moment to review the How to Treat for Yellow Jackets Article located at the bottom of the Yellow Jacket Control Page

  • Asked by Johnathan from Los Angeles, California
    10/27/2018
    Q
    Will Onslaught help with suspected rat mites in my attic as well as bedroom?
    I've gone through two exterminator companies and I didn't get a lot of help. According to one company there were bird mites in my home. I found that there is rats in my home and at night I feel jumping or crawling on my body when I go to sleep. I've tried going to the professionals and that didn't help. So since I'm assuming I have rats mites I know I need to get rid of the rats, seal the holes where the rats get in from and find the nest where the rats live after that. What can I use for my attic and home as well as my mattress and clothing to apart for the mites ?
    A

    Onslaught will kill mites in general, but the problem with mites is finding the breeding source.  Onslaught may provide some relief, however many times mites will breed under carpet or in wall voids, where you cannot spray.  This is why treating for mites is very difficult and usually requires multiple products and lots of vacuuming.  

    You can apply monthly on the exterior of the structure for control but the nesting sites that are near the structure should be removed to fully eliminate them. The source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs. We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites.
