Talstar P mixed with an Insect Growth regulator such as Nyguard IGR would be a good choice for tick control. Talstar P would work to kill ticks that come into contact with treated surfaces while the Nyguard would work to help stop juvenile ticks from reaching sexual maturity. You should remember that ticks may be hidden in tall or dense brush so higher treatment volumes may be needed to treat the entire plant, not just the top side of the plant where it is easiest to spray. You should try to get the application on the underside of leaves and all the way to the bottom of the plant. We recommend treating the entire infested area (no spot treating). When you are dealing with an area that has a high tick population you may be required to treat once a month from spring through to the first frost, no matter what product you use.

Prokoz Sevin is not used to control moles. This product is an insecticide that will control lawn infesting pest like ants, worms, caterpillars, ticks, etc. While this will control grubs and worms which are a food source for moles, it will most likely only deter them temporarily. The best way to control moles is with a product specifically for them like our Talpirid Mole Worms, Talpirid Mole Trap, or Giant Destroyer Gassers for their tunnels. You can review all options on our page under Mole Control. Please let us know if you have any questions.
