Hello,
I have a few questions to ask before ordering….
Can a standard sprayer be used with PERMETHRIN?  Would you recommend a special tip?
I ask because on your website information you seem to only show foggers with PERMETHRIN.  At this time 250.00 for a fogger is out of reach, could a Black & Decker Electric Paint Sprayer be used  with a small tip?
Thank you for all the great information on mosquitoes and noseeums. I will be recommending it to my friends.
By the way, we have a small pond in the back yard with limited bushes, mostly just grass and flower beds;  I have been using Malathion over the years with only fair results. I hope PERMETHRIN will do the job!
Thanks!

As explained in our MOSQUITO CONTROL ARTICLE, there are many places around the yard this pest can live and breed. The same is true with noseeums. To control these pests fogging is usually the easiest way but not the only way. When dealing with small areas (1/2 acre or less is small enough), liquid spraying PERMETHRIN can do the job. I don’t think using the Electric Paint Sprayer you mentioned would be a good choice since it could very well have contaminates still in it or it’s hose which could affect the permethrin or worse yet something in the yard plant wise. If you go with the concentrated permethrin, either the 20 GALLON HOSE END or the 6 GALLON HOSE END will do the job fine.

And if the area you want to treat is less than 10,000 sq/ft, you might consider the CYONARA RTS which comes with it’s own hose end sprayer. Just attach it to your garden hose and you’re ready to go. Both the permethrin and the cyonara will work much better than the Malathion and since both are pretty much odorless, I know you’ll like using them a lot more 🙂
