Onslaught Insecticide is labeled to treat over 200 pests, and it starts working on listed pests as soon as the product is applied. We do not sell products for use on your skin. We must recommend that you consult a medical professional for concerns about your skin or health. Please be sure that you have a positive pest identification before purchasing or applying any insecticides.
Onslaught Insecticide would be applied as a full coverage foliar spray applying to the point of drip but not run off as directed on the product label for the listed borers only. Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control Landscape Formula can be applied to any non-edible trees for soft and flat headed borers and would be a better option for it’s systemic properties before the insects become an issue.
Without knowing exactly what you are treating for, it is hard for us to make a product recommendation that will fit your specific needs. We do carry a product called Onslaught and it is widely used for general pest control and is labeled for over 200 different insects. You will mix and apply according to the product label instructions when the children and dogs are not in the area. Once it is dried completely, they can re-enter the treated areas.

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.
Onslaught Insecticide can be applied to listed interior crevices once every 90 days. According to the product label, when treating crawling insect pests indoors you are able to repeat application as needed but do not exceed more than 1 application every 7 days.
Onslaught can last up to 60 to 90 days on outside surfaces but it can be applied as often as every 7 days if needed. Generally most people apply once a month and it is still effective in rainy areas.
