Collyn from Glen Cove, Ny writes
Hi, I'm looking for a insecticide concentrate that will treat all three of the pests that are attacking my home and yard: mosquitos, ants(various species seem to live in my yard,) and fleas. I found Bifen XTS on Amazon and was about to purchase that with an IGR but soon realized that due to my state's (I live in New York.) pesticide restrictions, I am unable to use Bifen. Can you recommend another product, please?
You can use a product like D-Fense SC. It’s a synthetic pyrethroid that can be reapplied on a monthly basis and it can ship to NY. You can use it at a rate of 0.75 – 1 oz per gallon of water for mosquito control. When treating for mosquitoes, make sure to spray the underside of the leaves on ornamental shrubs and trees as these are areas they harbor in. Keep in mind that one treatment will not get rid of all the mosquitoes. For high activity, we recommend adding an insect growth regulator, like Tekko Pro IGR, to disrupt their life cycle and keep juveniles from becoming reproductive adults. This also works great on ants, fleas and a variety of other insects.
