These have been very helpful for me in terms of identifying group #s for MOA

@mjh648 , I've used these charts before. Very helpful.

In Canada, you can get Malathion 50% Liquid Insecticide-Miticide concentrate at big box stores (I got a 500ml bottle from Canadian Tire)

I sprayed it for the first time a week ago, and sprayed on the driveway (it supposedly takes care of the ants that dig up and build sand mounds on your drivery) and sprayed on the corner where the walls of the house meet the ground to get rid of spiders, and around window frames and door frames . I haven't seen more than a few mosquitos outside since.

I am not entirely sure but I think you re-apply after a month or so, when you start seeing mosquitos again. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can add their insights.

Has anyone tried the In2Care system? I had it installed about two weeks ago which is about the earliest I'll see results so I can't comment yet.

I'm not sure how to put the video in here but above is a link to how it works. Apparently it's what Disneyworld used with the whole Zika thing to keep their mosquito population down. I think it's fairly new but I wanted to see if anyone else had heard of it.

I read several of the paper from the study in FL and was very excited. How is yours working out??

Not so great for me. We did it for one year but the problem for us was we were in a packed subdivision so unless all your neighbors also do it, it doesn't work well. We had a storm drain in our front yard which I think was the bulk of our problems but there was no fixing that. We ended up moving so now we don't have to deal with it anymore. Not sure if that is a more or less expensive way of dealing with it.

If you lived on a property that was rural and could somewhat control what was around your property or even just further away from your neighbors it might work better. It seems like a cool thing and if you could get a whole neighborhood to do it. I bet you would see good results. It was pretty expensive when we did it. It was like $600 for the summer for three pots. I had a 9,600 ft² property so I can only imagine what it would cost if you had a lot of land.

Damn. I was hoping it hoping the adults treating the other breeding sites would be the ticket. Thanks.

Yes you need to spray your backyard as well as all fence area also.

Is bifenthrin a better product than permethrin? I want to spray as few times as possible this summer

Permethrin is quicker in action, when insects and mosquitoes come in contact with it they immediately shows the sign of paralysis.Whereas Bifenthrin takes atleast 10 min to show its effect.But Bifenthrin is effective for longer time ,its effective against insects for up to 90 days.

Not sure if it's rated for mosquitos or just termites and ants, but cypermethrin is unbelievable.

True story, I got some on my face and got a couple of days worth of tingles, tongue numbness, and weird stuff like if I made a fist tight enough, I could feel it in my tongue.

So the lesson would be, be careful with what you're spraying!

I realize this thread has not had any activity since 12/22 but, a friend is in dire straits from not masking up ... fwiw:

Sad but true and ^^^To Be Heeded^^^; someone we know has been diagnosed (by a pulmonologist and confirmed by second opinion) with some form of pneumonitis that has been traced to his spraying without any type of mask ... in lay person terms, he has created a semi-permanent condition of "EASILY ANGERED LUNGS" - poor sob has had no less than THREE MAJOR respiratory infections in only SEVEN MONTHS!

I'm embarking on tackling our new to us mosquito problem and, in addition to ordering a Tomahawk Turbo-boosted TMD-14 fogger I intend to rotate through (probably 1 app of each and then use another):

TalStar (Bifen - already have on hand)

Cyzmic CS (Lamda-Cy - already have on hand)

Tengard SFR (Permethrin)


between now and NEXT year i'll give IGR's some research and serious consideration

 

[Bon333]

Those are all pyrethroids, in the same group and the same MOA. I'm still looking for something else to rotate with.

 

[EdgarAPoe]

We only use OneGuard. I’ve run Bifenthrin, Bifenthrin plus Cymzic IGR. As well as strait permethrin. I’ve run both with adding cedar oil as well. Nothing comes close even to OneGuard MOA. It’s still a 3a with a 7c. Now I’ll wait for three members in particular to tell me how wrong I am. Even though I’ve been running it commercially for years LOL. I’ll wait.

 

[440mag]

Immagunna cross post this ; looks like a limit of 4 but, my wife ordered 4 in addition to my own order so, we’re set for some time now (couldn’t have come at a better time)!
