We have a pool, pecan trees, and vegetables. We used Talstar P, but can we safely spray the leaves and still harvest the pecans. I am also worried about spraying near the pool or possibly getting some on the vegetable plants. Is there a safe option that will kill the mosquitos without the worry?
Talstar P cannot be used on anything edible so should not be used on the pecan tres or vegetables. Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor Broad Use Insecticide with 10% Permethrin Insecticide is labeled for mosquitoes and would be safe on the listed vegetables and pecan trees. The key to mosquito control is spraying the underside of the leaves of trees and bushes as that is where the adults lay during the day.
