| Q | Should I use Tengard to treat a large area for ticks and chiggers? The 50 acre area is a grassy area, We are looking to get rid of the ticks and chiggers. There is going to be a lot of foot traffic and pets in the area. We are starting to develop the land from pasture into a home and work area.
| A | Tengard would be a great choice for your needs. You will want to concentrate on areas where you have dense brush and long/tall growth. It is also helpful to keep grass and brush cut short to eliminate the habitat of ticks and chiggers. |

| Q | Would tengard work on a very large area? I'm looking for something to treat about 50 acres. Would this be the best product, or is there a better one you would recommend.
| A | Tengard is a great product and can be sprayed over very large areas for may insects pests. We would really need to know what type of pest your are trying to eliminate and what type of area you are treating to tell you the best product to use. In most cases it is not necessary to treat the an entire piece of land to get rid of a specific insect pest, but instead treat the target area where the specific insect pest harbors or forages. |

| Q | Which product is better on suberranean termites tengard sfr or Binfen it? I know Termidor is the best but I have pets and those two will not hurt pets when dried. I found termites next to my house and I checked for termite damage. There was none so they must have just started.
| A | Termidor will not hurt animals when it is dry. As a matter of fact Termidor contains the same active ingredient, Fipronil, as the most popular spot on flea treatments for dogs on the market. We recommend using either Termidor or Dominion for the most effective termite treatments. Both of those products are non-repellent and both have a transfer effect meaning that the termites cannot tell that the product is in place and will readily walk through it and transfer it back to the colony. Both the Tengard SFR and the Bifen IT will work pretty much the exact same way since they are both synthetic pyrethroids that are somewhat repellent. Neither of these products have a transfer effect. |

| Q | I would like to use Tengard SFR as a fly spray on horses, is it safe and effective, how often to apply?

| Q | Will Tengard work for wasps? What would you suggest for severe wasp problems?
| A | Tengard is labeled for wasps. You would use 1 2/3 fl oz of Tengard per gallon of water to make a 0.5% solution to eliminate wasps. We usually recommend using a wettable powder formulation such as Cyper WP for wasp control. Wettable Powders stay up on the surface of porous materials making the product readily available to insects. Neither of these products will offer an immediate knockdown of wasps. The wasps must land on the area that has been sprayed and then have time to succumb to the effects of the insecticide. For an immediate knockdown use Wasp Freeze to spray the wasps directly. For best results, and to lessen the chances of being stung, treat wasps nests very late in the evening or very early in the morning when the wasps are less active. |

| A | Yes, Tengard SFR can hold up to rain. It is important to have 24 hours before the application and 24 hours after the application rain free. As for how often Tengard SFR needs to be applied, that will depend on what type of pest you are treating for and where exactly you are treating. Please read the product label for more information. |

|
| Q | Does Tengard SFR kill bed bugs?
| A | While Tengard SFR can kill bedbugs, it is not labeled for the type of bedbugs that usually infest a home. We recommend choosing an insecticide such as Phantom or Cyonara 9.7 that is labeled for bedbugs. We also have bedbug kits that come with all of the different products that you would need to do a proper bedbug treatment. |

| Q | How can I get rid of fleas in my hen house? I have a stick-tight flea problem in my hen house. Do you have anything that will help? I ordered some Demize, perhaps that will work.
| A | Due to the nature of this type of flea, the attached female fleas may have to be picked off of the birds or if the fleas are too numerous a flea product that is labeled for use on poultry may be used. The fleas that are infesting the henhouse itself (juveniles, adults, eggs and pupae) should be treated just like any other flea infestation. Remove the infested bedding and discard and vacuum or clean the area. Spray the hen house floor and bird resting area with the insecticide, paying special attention to cracks and crevices. Be sure to treat outdoor areas where the birds frequent, paying special attention to moist shady areas and areas where the birds may rest or spend more time. Tengard would be a great choice for this type of application because it can be used on poultry and in poultry houses and offers a long lasting residual. Adding an insect growth regulator such as Martin IGR will help stop the breeding cycle of the fleas and help eliminate a flea infestation faster. Pyganic dust can also be used in cracks and crevices and on the poultry to help eliminate the flea population. Demize EC is an excellent product but it is not labeled for use in poultry houses. |

| Q | Will Tengard SFR kill Cheyletiella mites? What product kills mites? Specifically, biting mites on animals and in yard.I have a problem with Cheyletiella mites in my yard and house.
| A | We do not have a product that is labeled for Cheyletiella mites specifically, but we do have a product that can be used for several types of mites including biting mites. Tengard SFR is labeled for mange mites and scabies mites and can be used indoors and outdoors and on certain types of animals including dogs (do NOT use on cats). We recommend that animals are seen by a veterinarian and treated according to the veterinarian's instructions. |
