    Will Malthion kill clover mites? Is it safe to spray on brick and concrete; will it stain?
    We haven't noticed any in the house, so we want to get this problem under control outside. We do see them on our front porch. Thank you.
    A
    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is not labeled to be sprayed on structures so we are not sure if it will stain brick or concrete. We recommend you use Talstar P which is labeled for clover mites and can be sprayed on structures and will not stain brick or concrete.

    Q
    Can Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Be Used to Ward off Golphers, Ground Squirrls, etc.?
    I had heard that Malathion could also be used to run off gophers, squirrels and other small creatures that can damage yards, is this true? Will this product kill grass?
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insect Spray is for outdoor home garden use for insectides only and is not labeled for use on lawns.  We have not heard of it being used as you described for mammals and cannot recommend for this as that is an off label usage.

    Trapping is usually the control method used for gopher and squirrel control. Please take a few moments to read over our articles on these 2 pests

    Can this Malathion Spray be used to treat scale on a mango tree?

    Q
    Can I safely spray Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray concentrate on knock out roses?
    We have tent caterpillers (ms) every year at this time..Can I spray my roses safely?
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is not labeled specifically for use on roses. We would recommend avoiding spraying the flowers themselves, or you could choose a product that is specifically labeled for use on roses and other flowers. Bonide Systemic Insect Control would be a good choice for long-term systemic control, and Hi-Yield Thuricide Concentrate is a great choice for contact kill.

    Q
    Do you recommend Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray to prevent wasps building nests in the cracks between the bricks and trim of my house?
    They are actually getting in the walls.
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray would not be the product we would recommend for your application. We would recommend Onslaught Insecticide. This perfoms well on porous surfaces like concrete and brick without the visible residue of wettable powders, and will give you a long lasting residual as well.

    Earwigs have began to invade our corn crop. We have tried other products with little success.

    No, Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is not labeled for earwigs.

    We would recommend using Fertilome Triple Action. This is safe for use on and around edibles and will eliminate earwigs. The mixing ratio is 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This can be used every 14 days to keep the pests out.

  • Asked by Sharon
    05/27/2017
    Q
    Does the petroleum in the Hi-Yield 55% Malathion mean it is an oil?
    I need to treat my roses (not when they are in bloom). However, I can not use neem oil because it fries the leaves when it is hot. I was told by the local rose society not to use ANY type of oil products here in SE Florida because they will all fry the leaves. So I am trying to determine which of your products for mites do not have an oil base..... thank you
    A

    Hi-Yield 55% Malathion Insecticide Spray is an oil-based product.  An alternative water-based product for mites would be Talstar P, though no product should be used during the heat of the day to prevent burning.  Apply early morning or late evening, avoiding blooms.
