Caps For Lawns And Gardens?

@Capulator :

Did you ever get to testing whether or not this works and appropriate application rates (I'm sure the process will kill quite a few of them and it will likely need to be higher concentration)? I remember you saying you intended to sometime back.

Do you mean if it works on mites?

I have always used and had great success with eucalyptus oil and water spray. Works great at running them off. For pet beds you also can add the euc leaves to the animals bedding. Also using the euc oil and water as a final rinse after a bath keeps them off the pets.

I know you said you have no pets, so a spray bottle mixed up and sprayed around the yard should do it. I usually spray twice a year and with our house and 3 dogs, never see any fleas. Hope it helps :D

BioSpot is the BEST product I've found, by far. That, and if you live at elevation you will never again experience fleas. We have no fleas here at 2,500'! We do have ticks, however.

Hey sea what is etofenprox? That doesn't sound so natural... An insect growth regulator.

It's a pyrethroid.
