Onslaught Insecticide is labeled to kill wasps that come in contact with the treated area. When treating for wasps, if you know where the nest is located, you can dust nests, or you can spray the nest with a quick knockdown aerosol like Wasp-X Wasp and Hornet Spray. You would want to follow up with a long-lasting residual product, like Onslaught, to ensure that all members of the colony are eliminated. Onslaught has a 30-day residual outdoors and a 90-day residual indoors.
The Onslaught Insecticide should be stored at moderate temperatures and shouldn't freeze. However, if freezing should occur, then thaw at room temperature. Do not heat to speed up the thawing process. It is hard to say whether the Onslaught Insecticide needs to be replaced or not. If the product is not stored correctly and freezes, it is possible that the product will lose efficacy.
Products like Onslaught and Tempo SC are usually rainfast in about 4 hours. Both will give an outdoor residual of 30 days and an indoor residual of 60-90 days. Suspend Polyzone is another general insecticide, just like the previous two, but it has a different active. Unlike most insecticides, Suspend Polyzone has an added polymer that protects the active ingredient from weather, irrigation, and mechanical abrasion. Its residual outdoors is approximately 90 days.
Onslaught Insecticide is mixed at a rate of 0.5 - 1 oz. per gallon of water per 1000 sq ft. You do have to mix at 1 oz per gallon per the product label.
Onslaught is a concentrated liquid insecticide that must be diluted with water. You will use 0.5-1 ounce of Onslaught per gallon of water, depending on what pest you are treating for. We strongly recommend that you read the Onslaught product label to learn the correct ratio for the pest you are trying to get rid of and the area you are treating.
Onslaught Insecticide is not labeled for use in cars. It is good to vacuum and keep the vehicle free from food and water sources that will attract roaches. You could use a roach bait station in your car, such as the Maxforce Roach Bait Stations or the Advion Roach Bait Arenas.
Onslaught Insecticide is labeled to control elm seed beetles. We are not sure it would have a longer residual result than Temprid FX, though. What is likely happening is that the population of the elm seed bugs is such that you are constantly seeing new insects, so they are reappearing faster than they are dying, even though they may still be dying from your insecticide application. This article from your Utah Extension service has excellent tips for managing this pest in and around your home.
Onslaught Fastcap can be applied to bushes, trees, shrubs, and lawns. Please make sure to read the label for proper application.

Onslaught Insecticide can be used for Yellow Jacket Baiting when nests are not able to be located by using the PFT Yellow Hanging Stations.
Please view our video on How to Bait for Yellow Jackets for more information.
No, we would not recommend mixing Onslaught Insecticide with sugar water.
Onslaught will not really repel the pests from the area, however, after they land on treated areas, the product will kill the pests within a few hours. Onslaught can last up to 60 to 90 days on outside surfaces. According to the label, applying Onslaught Insecticide in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area.
If you are applying the correct amount of the Onslaught on to your bait, they should be able to fly back out of the bait stations, bringing food back to feed the other yellow jackets. You could always use a paper plate and put your bait with the Onslaught on it, but again, if you are applying the correct amount, they should be able to fly back out of that bait cup.
Onslaught Insecticide and Gentrol IGR Concentrate have residual effects you would want to keep along treated areas, such as baseboard. You can wait 24 hours to mop/vacuum but be sure to avoid the areas along where the product was applied, you will remove the product otherwise. We would note that Gentrol IGR is not labeled to control fleas nor should it be broadcasted across floors, it is for spot, crack and crevice and fogging treatments only. It would best to remove any applications of it from floor surfaces
We recommend that you do not plant fruit for one year if the soil is sprayed. We do carry Acephate 75SP, Cyonara Lawn and Garden, and Malathion 57%, each of which can be used on different fruits and vegetables. Malathion has the broadest label and is our most popular product for customers who need to treat fruit and vegetable plants. Always read the product label to be sure the plants you need to treat are listed. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to seek advice on the best products for plants and insects in your region.
That is correct. Onslaught Insecticide is going to be applied when the pets are not present and interacting in the area until it is completely dry. It is taken into consideration that animals walk on lawns and will nibble the grass. If your pets are eating more grass, you can check with your vet if there is a concern.
Onslaught Insecticide is considered a non-repellent.
No, Onslaught can not be mixed with Alpine WSG or any other insecticide.
