What would be the best insecticide to treat mosquitoes on my 2 acre property using the Tomahawk Power Cardinal 3HP Backpack Fogger Blower Duster Leafblower (CMD65)?

What product would provide 6 months of protection?

Answer:

Our Mosquito Control Kit - Professional is designed for professionals or homeowners who need to treat large areas or multiple properties for all levels of mosquito infestations and can be used in a mist blower, backpack sprayer or handpump sprayer. This kit contains everything you need for a complete mosquitoe treatment program including two insecticide concentrates, an Insect Growth Regulator, as well as a larvicide so that you can treat both land and standing water.  ExciteR Pyrethrin Insecticide provides quick knockdown of adult mosquitoes, while Talstar P offers residual protection on mosquito resting areas. Archer IGR prohibits the development of immature mosquitoes, and Altosid Pro-G is a larvicide to treat standing water or areas likely to flood.

Talstar P leaves a 30-60 day residual and during damp/warmer seasons when mosquioto pressure is highest, repeat applications should be done monthly for maintenance and control. The ¾ gallon jug in the Professional Kit will cover 96k to 192k sq ft whan applied at the mix rate of 0.5 to 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1000 sq ft. Please review our Mosquito Treatment Guide for more helpful information and videos.
