Q

Will it kill no-see-ums?
My husband bought a used fabric chair from the Salvation Army and we have been bothered ever since with something that bites and flutters around our legs. We done everything that we know and whatever it is, it's still there. Will this product take care of our problem?

A

Microcare is labeled for no-see-ums but it is very doubtful that you are dealing with no-see-ums. No-see-ums usually develop and live in areas by mud, sand, and debris around the edges of ponds, springs, lakes, creeks, and in tree holes or on slime-covered bark. We recommend that you contact your lo…

Microcare is labeled for no-see-ums but it is very doubtful that you are dealing with no-see-ums. No-see-ums usually develop and live in areas by mud, sand, and debris around the edges of ponds, springs, lakes, creeks, and in tree holes or on slime-covered bark. We recommend that you contact your local Cooperative Extension Office and ask to speak to the entomologist and request an insect ID. The entomologist will tell you how to gather a sample for identification purposes. Trying to treat for an insect without a clear idea of what you are treating for often leads to treatment failure. If you want to try Microcare anyway you will need to spray the tufts, seams, folds and in between the cushions only. You can also use Microcare as a space spray to help get rid of flying insects in the room.

Q

Does it kill wasps & hornets? Is it safe for fish(especially Koi)?

A

Microcare would not be the best product for wasps or bees. It does not allow you to keep your distance when treating them and would not kill fast enough. Also, all insecticides are very detrimental to all types of fish, including koi fish. You should not use any around them. …

Also, all insecticides are very detrimental to all types of fish, including koi fish. You should not use any around them. We would recommend Wasp Freeze for treating any types of wasps or hornets. Of course you would not want to use it around any fish or bodies of water.

Q

Will Microcare and Gentrol Aerosol IGR work for drain flies?
I've just started using Microcare with Gentrol Aerosol IGR for a really bad drain fly infestation. Is this a good combination and how long until I see results?

Microcare is a good product to knock down the adult flies that are flying around the kitchen, and Gentrol Aerosol IGR is a good product to help with future drain flies from hatching. However, drain flies breed in organic "gunk" that is down the drain. You need something to put down the drain that will eat this gunk away or it will continue to be a problem. This is where drain gel comes in. The Microcare and Gentrol will put a band aid on the problem but you will continue to battle them. We have a Drain Fly Kit just for your situation. Drain gel poured down the drain every night for about a week will eat away at the "gunk" and eliminate the source of the problem. So this does not happen again, you should use drain gel once a month for maintenance on your drains so the "gunk" does not build up again.
