  • Asked by Kim from Silvis Illinois
    09/17/2014
    Q
    In my home i have biting midges and tons of larva what would i use to kill larvae?
    I have been using 565 plus xlo does great but i have so much larva in everything ,carpet, cabinets.,furniture i need something long lasting or what else can i use with the spray?
    A
    Biting midges do generally not enter structures, but midges are small enough to get through 16 mesh screens. Getting mesh screens with a higher number can keep these and other very tiny insects out of your home. Since non-biting midges are attracted to lights, draw your shades at night and wait as long as possible to turn on exterior lights to keep them away from your home. Onslaught is a liquid insecticide labeled for midges and can be used inside and outside the home. Spraying Onslaught on window screens, doors, bushes, and plants around your home can act as midge repellant to keep midges away. Inside the home we recommend thoroughly vacumming the entire home. Dispose of the contents immediately in trash bag and take outside. Apply 1oz of Onslaught per gallon of water as a coarse, wet spray to surfaces where these pests are normally found. Treat floors, baseboards, around doors and windows, in attics, crawl spaces, eaves, corners, closets, walls, utility pipes, storage areas, and all cracks and crevices. Treat underneath sinks, dishwashers, refrigerators, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers, cabinets, areas behind pipes, and in all places where these insects shelter. Contact as many insects as possible with direct spray. Repeat applications as needed, but do not exceed more than one application every seven days. Continue to vacuum daily in between treatments.

    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.

  • Asked by Rich from Worcester, Ma
    09/22/2015
    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
    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.

  • Asked by Diane from Coosbay, Oregon

    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.
