As with any pest control maintenance schedule, how often you apply Yard + Garden will depend on your local pest pressure & critter population. Critters like raccoons & squirrels are known carriers of parasites. Insects like fleas, ticks, & mosquitoes thrive in moist, warm, shady areas. In general, a 30-45 day routine treatment or application after heavy rain is the best practice and usually the cheapest solution for pest management. Stronger mixtures enhance results, but you may find that you can use a weaker dilution as you do ongoing prevention.
Purchase enough Yard + Garden to do 2 initial treatments of outdoor areas within 7-10 days to establish control and eliminate the full pest lifecycle, and then reapply for prevention every 30-45 days, or after heavy rain.
Wondercide Flea & Tick Control Yard & Garden Insecticide is not harmful to bees or other beneficial insects as long as you are not spraying them directly. It would be best to apply early in the morning or late evening when they are less active in the area to avoid contact.
