Trying to find a good fogger chemical for the yard for ticks. Will this work for that and also work on small trees with aphids? I found another web sight that said not to use on lawns.
Shockwave can be used in a thermal or propane fogger. This product may be used in homes or businesses, indoors or outdoors around structures, in ULV foggers and mosquito misting systems but you are correct is not labeled for use a broadcast across turf, only for spot treamtents around structures. If ticks are in the area when you fog and they are touched by the fog, they will die but fogging does not have a long term residual, so it really only kills what it touches when it is wet. For 30 day control of ticks, mosquitoes and other insects, we would recommend Talstar.
