Horse flies drink water while flying over water
Approximately like this

Diesel not very poisoned, useless you drink it

 

Flies won't drink diesel. Don't subject your pets or kids to your poison regimen, please.

 

Muskoka, 1500 ft distance to the lake
Mostly forest. My property 1 acre, half of property wooded.
Guy said he will apply 30 gallons of talstar mix. And he use maximum concentration, approx 3 oz per cup for 4 gal tank.

He applied Tuesday noon, everything was dry. Evening was rain. Next monday rain again, Next Tuesday mosquito come back. And horse flies was not killed at all.

I don't think he did something wrong. He said it will be ok for 2 month. He dis his job right.

I have imidacloprid and pyriproxyfen. Will apply it.

For horse flies I going to make puddle of death, water with diesel fuel on top, flies will drink diesel and die. But I need to finish fence, cause I have children and dogs.

 

What is so different about your property that you have all these pests that normal property doesn't have? Do you live in a swamp with cattle barns or horse stalls nearby? Fogging only temporarily places the pesticides in the air. Neighbors, I am sure, will like the smell when it wafts toward their front porch while they are sipping their mint juleps.

 

Courses + licence + Chinese fogger + 1 bottle of talstar = cost of 3 treatments. And I need to do it every week. And horse fly, one treatment doesn't help at all.
Caterpillars does not die, they are drunk.

Plus I like money pest guy earn for less than 2 hour.

 

You're going to spend an inordinate amount of money for licensing, courses, equipment and fogging to do exactly what you already paid someone else to do????? I don't find that making much logical sense. What is it you hope to do that will be better and less costly? Just curious.
