I don't want to buy an elaborate set up with timers. Maybe a hand held fogger or pump sprayer? I have bushes, a water fountain as well as a dog and cat. I thought riptide would be great but I guess it doesn't last?
Riptide 5.0% Pyrethrin ULV is a great choice for mosquto control. However, it does not leave any residual. We recommed Talstar P. It can be applied with a hand pump sprayer or a large mist blower. Talstar P does not provide an instant knockdown of pests, rather, pests pick up the residual active ingredient by contact. To get a faster initial knockdown when applying Talstar you can add a synergist like ExciteR or Exponent to kill insects on contact during application. You would want to keep pets out of the area while treating, but they can saftely retuen once the procts have completely dried.
