    Q
    My dog is licking dried Onslaught on the baseboards and she throws it up- will it kill her?

    If she is throwing up, we recommend that you contact your vet. You can provide the MSDS for Onslaught to let them know more about the product that was applied in the home.

    Q
    How to kill fleas around the perimeter of the porch in Florida?
    I don't have any pets, but there are squirrels, racoons, & stray cats that wander through our yard & drop fleas/eggs & they of course multiply & become a nuisance. For some unknown reason they jump on me when I sit outside. I've been trying to fight them off for years. I've used Permethrin, Bifenthrin,, IGRs & they seem to have become immune. What/how do you recommend alternating to prevent their immunity to knock these blood suckers out?
    A
    You want to make sure when you are using products for fleas that you are spraying every 2 weeks and not any more often than that so that you aren't creating any resistance issues. Make sure you are keeping your grass short as this makes it harder for the fleas to thrive in your yard. If you believe the fleas are coming from the animals, you may want to try an animal repellent or deterrent to try and drive them away from your yard. One of the best recommendations for flea control we have would be the combination of Onslaught and Nyguard IGR. Onslaught is micro-encapsulated and sits on the surfaces you spray better and holds up to the outdoor elements longer before breaking down. The NyGuard IGR is formulated for fleas and many other insects and can hold up to sunlight for roughly 5 months. If you have tried several products and they are not working, you may want to get a sample of the insect to take to your local Cooperative Extension to get it properly identified by the Entomologist on staff. Treating for the wrong insect can often make your problems worse, so getting an identification from a trained professional is always recommended.

  • Asked by Gretchen from Portland, Or

    Q
    Just moved to OR and need a good general pest control solution for my home.
    Don't care about being "green", just want them dead and out of my house! Have seen a couple of bugs in kitchen and one in the bathroom, I have no idea what they are (bathroom one looked beetle-ish). I have a 16 month old baby and two chihuahuas and need to be able to spray around them.
    A

    Without knowing exactly what you are treating for, it is hard for us to make a product recommendation that will fit your specific needs. We do carry a product called Onslaught and it is widely used for general pest control and is labeled for over 200 different insects. You will mix and apply according to the product label instructions when the children and dogs are not in the area. Once it is dried completely, they can re-enter the treated areas. Please read the product label for mixing and application instructions. Please click on the link below for the contact information to your local cooperative extension office for a pest identification.

    Q
    Can Onslaught and Malathion be tank mixed?
    We have a 1/4 acre home garden and 9 citrus trees in Florida. We also have 4 USAR dogs and our sandy soil creates the opportunity for a significant flea and chigger problem. We were wondering if Onslaught could be tank mixed with Malathion for use in our new garden and on/around the citrus trees (also the shrubs near the house) to compliment our successful use of Onslaught in the 1 acre dog yard and around the dog training equipment.
    A
    Onslaught can only be tank mixed with a synergist or an IGR but not with other insecticides. Also, Onslaught is not labeled for use on or around any edible vegetation whether it be a garden or fruit tree.

    Q
    Can we spray Onslaught Insecticide around infants?
    Child 3 months old
    A

    Onslaught is safe to use in a home where children reside as long as you apply it according to the label and the children are out of the area while the product is applied, until it has dried. There are no extra precautions that need to be taken before re-entry.

  • Asked by Eddy from La Grange, Nc
    03/12/2018
    Q
    Can I use Onslaught Insecticide to spray indoors on carpet?
    A

    Treating carpets for general pests is not needed.  Only when you are dealing with a pest like fleas that infest carpets would you need to do so.  For general pest control, treatments should be directed to cracks and crevices inside as you should also apply a barrier outside around the perimeter.  We have a great video here that shows where to spray for perimeter and interior spraying.  Onslaught is a great option for them and is labeled for over 200 pests.

    Q
    Is Onslaught good for noseeums?
    A
    Onslaught is labeled for a wide variety of small flying insects including gnats, midges and other small biting flies and should help reduce the amount of noseeums on your property. Be sure to spray the areas where you have noticed the noseeums landing or resting as Onslaught will only eliminate those insects that land on treated areas.

    05/22/2017
    Q
    Is Onslaught FastCap anymore effective at killing bed bugs as opposed to regular Onslaught?
    A

    Onslaught Fastcap would offer a faster kill to those sprayed directly during application but once dry would effect bed bugs at the same rate as the regular Onslaught.  This is due to the added actives in the Fastcap.

  • Asked by Stephanie from Leland, Nc
    06/06/2017
    Q
    Is Onslaught Insecticide the best product for chiggers in our yard?
    A

    Onslaught is a great product for chigger control. Treatments for chiggers should begin in April/May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge. You can also use Onslaught to do a barrier treatment around the outside of your home and in your crawl space to stop pests from moving indoors.

  • Asked by Jerry
    08/02/2011
    Q
    How long until I see results from Onslaught?
    I sprayed onslaught around the kitchen baseboards last night for ants that were coming from under the foundation. They are small and really slow. I believe they are regular house ants. There are even more ants today. How long will it take for this insecticide to work? It doesn't seem like it helped.
    A
    Onslaught is a micro-encapsulated product which means it is a time released formula and can take a little longer to kill insects than other products. Ants can take several hours to a day or so before they die after coming into contact with treated areas. Onslaught will not stop ants from coming into an area but it will kill the ants that do. Onslaught does not transfer back to the colony. We always recommend that you use an ant bait gel or granule in addition to the insecticide spray since ant colonies can be very large and they can keep sending out worker ants. The bait will be carried back to the colony and fed to the other ants and this will help speed up the ant elimination. We also recommend spraying outdoors around the perimeter of your home to eliminate ants before they move indoors.
