According to the product label, the aforementioned outdoor ground application will give temporary relief of annoyance from these pests in listed outdoor areas. Direct application into tall grass, shrubbery and around lawns where these pests may hover or rest. Apply while air is still. Using Riptide with the Talstar P will give you a fast knockdown and then the 30 day residual. Spray Talstar P and Riptide on trees, shrubs, bushes, and ground. You can also spray your lawn to help control the low flying yellow jackets that tend to land there. Talstar P will give a long lasting residual while the Riptide will give you a fast knockdown.

While the Riptide and NyGuard are liquid concentrates and should work just fine in an aerosol machine such as the PAS, we do not recommend using Arilon in one. Arilon is a water-dispersible granule and forms a suspension when diluted rather than a solution, so it may not dispense correctly in the PAS. It is generally best to use a liquid concentrate in aerosol machines. If you are wanting to use a non-repellent, then Phantom or Temprid FX would be other great options.
