In other words will a regular hand sprayer work and what chemical should I use.
Talstar is our most popular selling product for mosquito control. It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using any hand pump sprayer or backpack 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. It is also very good for bees and wasps, however you would not want to apply it or any other product directly to play sets where children will touch treated surfaces. Also, Talstar is labeled for over 100 different insects and will work in just about any situation.
