  • Asked by Cheryl from Odessa, Tx
    04/24/2012
    Q
    Can Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray be used to control ticks in the yard?
    A
    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is not labeled for use on lawn or for ticks. Talstar P would be a great choice for outdoor tick control. We also recommend adding an insect growth regulator such as Archer IGR to Talstar to stop the ticks from being able to develop while you are trying to eliminate the infestation. You will use 1 oz of Talstar +  1oz of Archer IGR per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft area. Do not make spot applications. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use more water (not more product) when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Re-treatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. All of your dogs should be treated with a product that is specifically labeled for use on dogs for tick control.

    You can also help by creating a "tick safe zone" in your yard. You should have an area that is at least 9 ft wide between your yard and any wooded area. Trim back trees to allow as much sunlight as possible into your yard. Keep grass as short. Remove as much leaf litter as possible. A clearly defined, well manicured border between your yard and any wooded areas or weedy lots will reduce the chance of ticks infesting your yard.

  • Asked by Judie
    03/26/2011
    Q
    Will Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray kill mosquitoes?
    A
    Malathion is not labeled to kill mosquitoes so we cannot recommend it as a treatment. 

    Talstar is our most popular selling product for mosquito control.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  The key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio you are trying to provide relief at.  It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out.  It should be applied every 30 days for optimum control.  Best of all it will not harm any birds in the area.

    Q
    Can I use malathion in a (hot) fogger?
    A
    Malathion 55% is not labeled to be applied from a fogger, hot or cold.  It should be applied from a hand pump sprayer or gas powered/electric sprayer.  We do have products that are labeled for use in a thermal fogger.  One of the most popular is Bonide Bug Beater Lawn & Garden Fog.

  • Asked by Dennis from Canton, Illinois
    11/29/2015
    Q
    Is it dangerous to use Hi-Yield Malathion in the house to kill bed bugs?
    A

    Hi-Yield Malathion insecticide is not labeled for bedbugs at all, and is not even labeled to be used indoors for any pest. It is an outdoor only use product for pests that would affect ornamentals and lawns. If you are looking to eliminate bedbugs we would highly suggest you review our Bed Bug Guide that goes over step by step instructions, charts and how to videos for eliminating the quickest and most appropriate way, as well as going with one of our Bed Bug Kits. The Bed Bug Kits that we have put together will not only help you get the best results with professional grade products, but they provide you with products to use in all the areas of the room that you need to treat and enough product to treat multiple times, all while being discounted for purchasing them together in the kit, rather than separately. Bed bugs require multiple repeat applications with appropriately labeled products until you can go 30 days in a row with no new bites or signs of live bedbugs.

    05/23/2011
    Q
    Can you use Hi-Yield 55% Malathion on purplehull peas? If so how long before harvest can you spray?
    A
    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion has a very specific product label and can only be used on the vegetables listed, Tomatoes, Cabbage, and Potatoes. Malathion has been under scrutiny by the EPA and it has been severely restricted because of this. Fertilome Triple Action II may be a better choice for your needs. Please take a few moments to read over the product label to be sure it is labeled for the types of pests you are having issues with. Fertilome Triple Action Plus II can be used up to the day of harvest.
