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.
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.
Yes, Onslaught Insecticide is labeled for cluster flies. It is mixed at 0.5-1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.
Onslaught Insecticide and Onslaught FastCap will both do a great job for chiggers. Onslaught FastCap would be the faster acting product due to its one of a kind formulation made of Exponent brand synergist, Esfenvalerate, and Prallethrin. This product does not kill on contact. The active ingredients release over time, allowing the pests to pick up the residual and carry it back into wall voids, cracks and crevices, and other spots where they may hide. The product label does state that this product can be highly toxic to bees and other pollinating insects exposed to direct treatment or residues left on blooming crops or weeds. The best way to reduce the chance of the product affecting the bees, butterflies and beneficial insects is to spray later in the day when they are not active and are back in their homes/nests and try to avoid blooms of flowers and plants they would use for pollination.
Yes, Onslaught Insecticide can be mixed at 0.5-1 fluid ounce per gallon of water and may be applied outdoors, in a crawl space or indoors as a crack and crevice treatment.
