Liquid treatment is easy to do when
you have small areas like a garden or under a deck
that needs to be sprayed from time time. A good product
for this type of application is VIPER PERMETHRIN. This
odorless concentrate is labeled for use right on vegetables
and turf and it won't hurt pets or people. It comes with
its own hose end sprayer and is good for small to
medium sized areas. If you want to get concentrates and
use your own sprayer for the job, a combination of
PYRETHRIN 6% and PERMETHRIN SUPER CONCENTRATE will
provide both quick knockdown and long lasting residual
so you don't have to spray continuously. Add some
NYLAR to the mix and you will have the best finished
spray possible; Nylar is a growth regulator and
is the only material that will control eggs. Apply the
mixture with one of our SPRAYERS which will do the
job for small areas like 10,000 sq/ft or less. Since
it doesn't take much to kill a gnat, fogging is
much faster to do and will "stretch" your liquid
mixtures so you cover a lot more area and effectively
use a lot less product. Use the same Pyrethrin 6%
and Permethrin Concentrate but instead of applying
the mixture with a sprayer, invest in one of our
foggers. These devices will pump out a mist which
does a great job of covering plants, turf and hard
to reach areas where mosquitoes and gnats like to
hide. There are many to choose from; be sure to get
one that will handle your property efficiently.
For small areas measuring 5000 sq/ft or less, the
MINI-FOGGER will suffice. For areas up to one acre,
either the FM6309 or the FM6208 will do a good job.
If you need the fogger to direct the mist in a
very specific direction, the FM7807 will do the job.
The ultimate foggers are the BACK PACK FOGGER and
the THERMAL FOGGER. The Back Pack is handy because
its self powered and runs off gas. It holds a lot
of liquid and can treat large areas over an acre
in size pretty efficiently. For multi acred lots,
get the Thermal Fogger. It relies on a "hot" fog
and will release a mist that stays in the air much
longer then the other misting foggers so you are
able to treat larger areas effectively. For the
Thermal Fogger you will have to mix up the Pyrethrin
and Permethrin in some DEODORIZED FOGGING OIL since
water can't be used. You can also get some premixed
material that comes in oil and is ready to fog.
OIL BASED PYRETHRIN will prove to be more expensive
to use but it works great. Some people like the fact
that there is no mixing involved; just load it into
the sprayer and start applying it. Regardless of the
form you choose to apply, the Back Pack and Thermal
foggers will prove to be the most effective tools
for getting large areas sprayed.
