  • Asked by Tom from Wisconsin
    09/01/2017
    Q
    Does using Malathion eradicate the bugs so the voles go elsewhere in search of food?
    I have ground voles in my lawn causing many disturbing mounds of soil in their pursuit of insects under the lawn surface. Is this true. Been looking for a resolution, something short of dynamite, for a long time.
    A

    Malathion 57% is not labeled to be used on lawns for lawn pests.  Also voles spend a lot of time above ground and they eat plants, not insects, like moles.  We would recommend reading over our guides on moles and voles to be sure you have correctly identified what you are dealing with.  There are also helpful treatment guides as well.

    How can I use Malathion 57% to control citrus flies in an orange plantation?

    Malathion 57% is not labeled to be used for flies on citrus plants so we cannot provide instructions for doing so.   Azera Insecticide would be a better option.  This is a fast acting contact insecticide used in organic production to control soft and hard bodied insects that damage crops such as oranges.

    Have cedar trees many quite large, covered with bagworms. Will malathion 57% kill them, and how strong to mix it in sprayer?

If they have already formed the bag, you will have to manually remove them and drop into a bucket of soapy water. You can read more on Bagworm Control here.
