We advise when applying the products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate that you avoid any overspry into the pool or do applications on windy or rainy days. Other than that, you can apply as you normally would. Please review our How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes Treatment Guide for more information.
The Talstar P that is in the Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate can harm beneficial insects like bees and butterflies that come into contact with treated areas. The best way to reduce the chance of the Talstar affecting the bees, butterflies and beneficial insects is to spray later in the day when they are not active and are back in their homes/nests and try to avoid blooms of flowers and plants they would be using for pollination.
The chemicals in the Mosquito Control Kit – Ultimate are safe for grass and shrubs as long as they’re used as directed. To avoid any possible damage though, we also recommend to avoid spraying in the heat of the day.
If any spray from the products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate got into the troughs, they need to be dumped out. Keep spray at least 25 feet from the pond.
The Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate refill kit will make approx. 96 gallons mixed solution.
The insecticides in our Mosquito Control Kit – Ultimate are broad-spectrum products which will treat other flying and crawling insects. Talstar P is a residual insecticide, ExciteR is a contact kill product, and the Tekko Pro is an Insect Growth Regulator which targets many, but not all, insects. The Altosid Pro-G is a larvicide for mosquitoes, specifically, for use in containerized water and standing water. If you have regular house/filth flies in the area, then you can also use products specifically for them, such as Flies Be Gone disposable fly traps.
Are you referring to the products that come in the Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate (which includes the Solo 451)? If so, then yes - most insecticides are not really selective in what they kill, so these products would also kill lightning bugs if the lightning bugs were to come into contact with a treated area.
You can use either Onslaught OR you can use the Talstar that is included in the Mosquito Control Kit-Ultimate, but you would not ever mix Talstar and Onslaught together to use at the same time. If you want you can rotate every other treatment with Onslaught and Talstar each time you treat every month. Onslaught would be mixed at 0.5 to 1 oz per gallon of water.
Although, the Solo 451 is similar to leaf blowers the products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Ultimate are not labeled to be applied with leaf blowers. We could not recommend it.
When applying Talstar for mosquitoes you want to spray or you can use the Solo 451 Mist Blower.
