Mosquito help
We started moving into our house this afternoon, which could be a mistake and I should have known better but was excited to get in it every time we opened the door the flock of Mosquitos outside would make there way in. So my questions are what's the best thing to get the ones inside the house dead and what's the best way to get the ones outside either dead or away from my door
|
Put a thermocell at the door.
|
Talstar works well for us. Our neighbor across the street didn't have it in his yard and we were getting bitten in his yard. Had to move to our yard to visit and had no bites! You can get it in liquid or granules.
|
Thanks, I'm guessing any hardware store would have talstar
|

|
Bifen IT works good look it up and do some research.

Anyone use the misting system?? Results??
|
I live in big lake where they are bad I have a misting system works good right around the house but they are still in the yard I have another mister that works with a gad blower thar I mist my yard with once a week and this works well together just search mosquito 86 to find it
|
I second the bifen it...can get it at the feed stores
|
You can order the Talstar from domyownpestcontrol.com They have free shipping on it: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/ta...ucts-c-40.html I used the liquid so that I could spray it not only in the yard but on the bottom 2-3 ft. of my house. It kills fleas, mosquitoes, spiders.
|
I also live in Big Lake and had a mist system installed and it worked great till the Hurricane Ike came through and lost my system, didn't install another one due to cost of replacement. I use Permethrin now I purchase at the local feed star, I use the highest concentration and mix in spray bottle and spray on EVERYTHING. Works great and also keeps spiders and webs and other insects away, has about a 3 month residual factor.
|
I also use premetherin. For fleas, ticks, white flies, etc...... spray the yard and my house.
I use tal-star for red ants in the yard. I buy all my pest control product at the local feed store. This weekend I was going to wash my house and put down some termite poison. |

my front door is like a cove and they would gang up and attack when you opened the door. the wife planted 2 citroella plants (from lowes) by the door in pots, and her grandpa told us to put bay leafs in the flower arrangement hanging on the door.. IT WORKED!... always trust grandpa!
|
I sprayed some Off! on my front door once and they disappeared from around the door. Was surprised at how well that worked.
|
Duffy did you put anything in that bottle to attract them?

Found this at gayles hardware it was 30.00 bucks so I hope it does the job says its 3 tablespoons to a gallon says it kills anything from ants to Mosquitos |
Its going to work. I use Martins brand but I'm sure its all the same.
|
Thanks for the help fellas
|
Bifen i/t works great on everything!
|
I work in mosquito control and one time I had thousands of mosquitoes that i took out of the freezer that i was going to count after lunch. During luch i guess they thawed out and after lunch my lab walls were covered with thousands of mosquitoes. I found if you have a ton of mosquitoes resting on the walls inside your house a shop vac wil suck them up and then you can dump them in the trash outside.
|
And also keep outside lights off at night or have tem on motion sensor.

I'm puttin the killabug in action tonight I looked at the active ingredient and it is 25% permethrin and if I remember right it takes 6 ounces per 20 gallons
|
Permethrin 36.8 % 1oz - 3gal
( kills on contact) Biferthrin 7.9% talstar p 1oz - 1gal this is a boundry mosquitos want come near where it is sprayed cyzmic cs 1oz - 3gal this is oil for residual will keep the permethrin and biferthrin in a bubble of oil for 21 days when a mosquito lands it pops bubble and kills it mix these all together when you get mosquitos back just spray the permithrin and biferthrin then after 21 days spray the cyzmic. this is the same thing the mosquito authority sprays and they guarantee no mosquitos you can also get altsoid pro-g to put in small water around your house this kills the larve |
Just wanted to give a little up date the kill a bug which is 25% permethrin works very well. I sprayed under my porch and as long as your under it they ain't bad you step out to the grass and you get drained
|
I use 99.9% deet, works wonders.....

If you spray bifin once a week after your grass is mowed you should not have any bugs.

Will this stuff work on deer flies? And does it harm plants? I need something I can spray around my pool. The deer flies get vicious during the summer.
|
It should and I spray the yard, plants, fence, all around my back door. Pretty much spray everything.
|
My buddy has a misting system on a timer, the misters hang on his gutters and are fed by a 55 gal drum. He says he has to fill it about once a year to once every 2 years.
Lives in hackberry and has zero mosquito problem, not sure who makes it or what is in it, but may be worth looking into - ill have a setup on my next house when I get back out in the country... |
