  • Asked by Joe from Summerfield, Fl

    Q
    How often does Hi Yield Bug Blaster have to be used to kill ants?
    We have used various ant traps but they keep coming back. Will this prevent them from coming back?
    A
    Hi-Yield Bug Blaster will last for several weeks after it has been applied. Hi-Yield Bug Blaster will not prevent ants from coming back but it will kill ants that travel over treated surfaces. If you want to use a product that is going to have the best long term effect you should consider using Termidor SC. Termidor is the # 1 choice for outdoor ant control around the outside of your home. Termidor is a non-repellent insecticide that also has a transfer effect. That means that ants cannot tell that the Termidor is there and will walk right over it and then pick the product up on their bodies and inadvertently carry it back to the colony. Then, through normal social interaction, the ants spread the Termidor and wipe out the colony. Termidor only needs to be applied two times per year and is effective for a wide variety of insects including ants, centipedes, roaches, spiders, silverfish, wasps and many other nuisance insects.

  • Asked by Harold from Monroe, La.

    Q
    Will Hi-Yield Bug Blaster Bifenthrin 2.4% kill house lizards?
    A

    There are no toxic products labeled for lizards, geckos or any reptiles or amphibians, and given the highly beneficial nature of these creatures there is not likely to be any products for them any time soon.The reason they are on your property is because they can find food and harborage. Take away their food and they will forage somewhere else. Take away the conditions they need for hiding and they will seek refuge someplace else.

    You really have two options here:

    1.Exclusion. Total exclusion can be hard to achieve particularly around the roof-line where there are going to be gaps that would be very hard to close off, but there also could be some obvious flaws such as broken vent screens, holes around cables, pipes or wires, or gaps under doors. All of these can easily be closed with brush strips, caulking, copper mesh (Stuf-fit), or some other suitable material. Exclusion is the best choice, because it is permanent, and eliminates or reduces the problem in the future too.

    2.Outdoor habitat modification. In short get rid of the reasons lizards are there in the first place. They are there because they are finding the food they need to survive (insects) and a place to harbor. If you can eliminate either of these essentials, you can get rid of the lizards. Spray a good residual insecticide such asCyper WSP around the outside of your home to help cut down on the number of insects the lizards are eating. If lizards cannot find enough food they will either move on or starve. Eliminate as much clutter and debris around the outside of your home as possible to eliminate the places lizards like to hide. Rake back mulch or rocks at least 6 inches from the structure

    If you need to get rid of the lizards that are already indoors the only options are catching them by hand or using glueboards placed in areas where the lizards travel.

  • Asked by K.h. from Fort Worth
    07/01/2019
    Q
    Will Bifenthrin 2.4% kill earthworms, lightning bugs, or lizards?
    A

    Hi-Yield Bug Blaster Bifenthrin 2.4% is not really selective in the insects it will kill, so if lighting bugs contact a treated area long enough to receive a lethal dose they could be killed.  Earthworms are pretty protected by the mucus on their bodies so generally it would not harm them and it would not have any effect on lizards when used as directed.  You may notice a decline in numbers of lizaerds in the area though as you would be killing the insects that are their food source.
