  • Asked by Schelia from Camden,ar
    10/21/2011
    Q
    I have a lot of fleas outside and small roaches inside. Can you recommend something?
    A
    Bifen IT would be a good choice for the fleas outside and the small roaches inside. You should also add an Insect Growth Regulator such as Martins IGR to control the developing insects that are usually hidden away and are not controlled by insecticide alone. A roach bait gel such as the Maxforce FC Roach bait Gel should be used to get rid of the roaches that are located in areas where you cannot spray. Please take a few moments to read our articles How to Get rid of Fleas and How to Get Rid of Roaches to learn more about controlling these pests.

    Q
    Can the Hi-Yield 55% malathion be used for cherry fruit flies?I see that 57% malathion has cherry fruit flies
    A

    You can only use the Malathion 55% on plants and areas listed on the product label. Since the manufacturer did not list this cherry fruit flies on their product label it is not recommended that you use the product for your intended application. Each manufacturer uses a different formulation so to avoid damage to plants or ineffective results it is recommended to use the product only as directed.

    You can use Malathion 57% for any pest listed on the product label including the cherry fruit fly as long as you are using it on listed plants or areas. Be sure to read over the Malathion 57% product label for complete usage instructions.
