    Great Video with a reminder to protect our bees. I just ordered Talak 7.9 F Bifenthrin Insecticide Concentrate (3/4 Gallon) for 48.49 and TEKKO Pro 16oz for 45.00 after watching this video. I think the 7.9 is the new replacement.(I think) I've been using OneGuard Multi MOA Concentrate 1Quart for 114.96. The Tekko pro is not necessary with the OneGuard. Notes: Add a 1/2 gallon of water and pour in your mix while still pouring water in for a better even mixture. The insecticide might go directly to the sprayers hose in a heavily concentrated form leaving the rest of the mixture diluted. Wear the better mask and get sealed no fog goggles for extra safety. Use non ethanol gas. Your carburetor will thank you. Looking forward to posting the compared results!

    It’s a good idea to add a surfactant to the water. This helps the water droplets spread out, and not bead up like it does on a freshly waxed car. 1 teaspoon of dish soap, or baby shampoo is a good surfactant that everyone will commonly have.

    Great video for this first timer. My bill from my mosquito control company is $386 for one season. My biggest concern is the safety of my dogs. They are Parson Russell terriers and enjoy munching on the wood mulch at the bottom of my plants/hedges. Are the products you recommend toxic after drying if consumed by pets? It appears the fogger doesn't allow much moisture to reach the ground and a fogger is what my commercial exterminator has been using the last two years and it doesn't seem to adversely effect my dogs. Please advise.

The problem was when the guy came and sprayed and it rained two hours later I have to call and they would send someone out. So….

  • @thebumpchannel

    The same products can ba applied using a hose end sprayer. Just add chemical to reservoir on hose end sprayer and set rate to 1 oz per gallon for most products. Of course you will want to confirm rates per product labels. The issue with hose end sprayer and even the garden sprayer is you will end up using a lot more chemical for same area as it delivers very large droplets. The foggers are going to be more effective in delivering the chemical into foliage that mosquitos hide in and won't waste chemicals with over applying. The fogger will pay for itself in long run in savings from excess spray and $ spent on chemicals.

    I just spoke to a franchise mosquito spray company this morning. They quoted $79 every 3 weeks. I have a question, 90% of my shrubs, plants and trees are flowering. I assume I should just spray the perimeter avoiding these. We have a field behind our house with a lot of wild growth behind our fence which would benefit for the treatment as well. Thanks for the informative video.

Just used an old Cutter spray bottle that attaches to your hose. IT WORKED GREAT!!! Much cheaper than a fogger and takes up a helluva lot less space in my garage.💯 I've used this method for over a season now and IT WORKS!!
