I think it just needs to be in contact with moisture to activate so I'd guess the more you put the more water you'd need. I would just walk around with the sprayer and make sure it was hit... or I did do it one year before it stormed and that was easy.... I def didn't soak the area.

A friend of mine once asserted that the ticks in his canopy covered yard near the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge would drop out of the trees. I was doubtful about that thinking that they might prefer lower accomodations, but then I went to a backyard dinner party on the lawn and was seated beneath a huge Live Oak canopy. I had just finished eating when something told me to look up. In that instant I saw an illuminated dot from 25' above, smaller than a leaf, doing a zigzag spiral in the late afternoon sunlight ... It was a big tick that landed in the hair on top of my head. So, they do climb and dive if the trail in the perpetual motion of their daily walk leads them there.

Ticks love the military training areas. Redstone Arsenal, training soldiers, thick woods, swampy, littered with wildlife, limited space so we used the same trails all the time. I saw a "ball" of ticks at the end of a branch at my height (6'6"). I placed a ziplock bag over the ball and collected them. There was 12 in the bag. It was a common path and I think they had been gathering for a little while as each patrol walked past. I don't care if they jump, fall, or just reach out to grab you. We were not allowed to treat the area but from then on I kept homemade bug killer with me and had the soldiers spray their wrists, necks, and ankles and check each other at every stop.

Great video. They don't jump but the smaller ones (2-3mm) can actually haul ass. Grabbed for one on my dog that had not yet attached and missed, that thing put wheels on I almost lost it

Use the amount as directed on the package for your size lawn and spread it in the afternoon after the animals are in for the night. Water it in after (or rain) and then it will likely be a good 10 to 12 hours before the next day and it should be dry. If it's actively raining the whole time I wouldn't trust it. It needs time to dry. I hope this helps.

what is I have free ranch chickens? would the pesticide hurt the chickens?

Research the product . It attacks the nervous system. Any animal or human coming into contact can be affected . I be concerned about consuming meat chickens or even eggs that’s been in contact .

Can you use this as well as having Guinea hen?

Guinea hens are supposed to be the best thing to fight against ticks. Honestly I wouldn't combine them... they eat bugs, this kills bugs. I think chances are high that they would eat poisoned bugs.

I tried the all natural stuff our first year in NH and it just didn't cut it. This stuff works wonders, use the two step process I use to get the yard and the surrounding bushes/trees and you should be fine. Do this at least every 5 to 6 months. I'd typically apply after the snow melted and then again before we set back into winter. Good luck

Does this stuff kill/poison bees?

@JackofAllTrades1

2 жыл бұрын

The side of the bag has a list of about 100 different bugs that it kills. I don't think bees are on that list. This is a granuel that falls to the ground and is then watered into the soil. I would probably think though if it was harmful to bees then the manufacturer wouldn't openly advertise that as that would be a negative. You might need to look further into that and look into maybe a third party for info.

I had to do some deep reading to find this. The bag does not list bees as a bug it is intended to kill, however, further research shows that if bees come into direct contact with it or flowers that have bloomed while treated... Will die. Furthermore, it appears as though it is safe for bees who visit flowers that had not yet bloomed at the time of treatment. Hope that makes sense.
