Pyrethrin for squash bugs? Does anyone have any experience with using Pyrethrin for dealing with squash bugs?

Yup it should do the trick ! Also if you really want to "get organic" try planting catnip in with the squash : )

Yes, pyrethrins and pyrethroids are toxic to ladybugs (and multicolored Asian lady beetles) and their larvae.

I didn't have any problems when using this around my plants. I used it both around my flower garden and my vegetable garden. It does not kill all bugs but it does significantly reduce the number of bugs you will have.

Michael, None that I'm aware of based on personal experience. Now I mostly use a combination of the granules and the liquid form of Pramitol at the same time so if you're finding the granules alone aren't strong enough, start spraying with Pramitol liquid at the same time and you should see enhanced results.

I treated my lawn last year and sprinkled it among my roses and rose of Sharon-they LOVE to MULTI-MATE in the new opening roses--I HATE Japanese beetles!!! I also squish any I can get my hands on-literally- and have also found a direct blast of raid will kill the beetles already on your plants. the treatment did seem to work on the grass. 2 yrs. ago they were SO invasive; last year not quite as bad. I've only seen a couple this year-so far! good luck.

I don't see anything on the label about mealy bugs, and it does say NOT to use in areas where food is prepared. (The only place I've ever had mealy bugs is in the kitchen). This is a product intended for plants and gardens. Truly the only real solution to mealy bugs is to clean out/throw out all boxes of grain and other foods that may be infested. These bugs eat their way through cardboard boxes and plastic bags, and can crawl out of glass jars with screw-on lids. If you have them they likely are present in every food container in your kitchen. Check every box, jar, and container thoroughly and throw away--far away!--anything with bugs or larvae. This will work 100% and is well worth the effort. Good luck!!

Yes, it can be sprayed on vegetable gardens. I used it on my cucumber plants for squash bugs. It did kill the bugs but if you know anything about squash bugs is they multiply really quick so eventually I lost my plants. Also, it stated that neem oil is not good for bees. I wish you well on your garden.

Unfortunately, it does not appear that Nuvan strips will be a good solution for carpet beetles. I did a quick search and there is quite a bit of information on-line regarding how to control them. I'd start with that. The first step always is to accurately identify the pest. Some universities have extension services which will help with that, if you need it. Good luck!

DJ, Yes. In fact Cyzmic has a broad use label that includes a wide range of pest and target sites both inside and outside the home.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

If I had to guess... This product would focus more on the specific bugs that vegetable gardens attract.EDIT: C. Aronson's answer sounds much better... Listen to that one.

This product works great--it works by the plant taking in the insecticide up thru the roots & leaves-- versus spraying it directly on the plant. Probably need to do it again in 12 months as this is a common problem with hibiscus!

Ulla, Cykick will work well on sowbugs (aka: rolly pollies). And it can be use around the home on the foundation, in flower beds, under ground cover, etc. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

I used the ladybugs on my flower garden. It's been a few year since I tried it (I just did the review recently, but I track my plants and documented the effort) I do remember a few showing up after the initial group left. They didn't stay either!

The ladybug's purchased from this vendor did not stay in my yard after they devoured the aphids. I don't know how to make a home for them as the other respondent states he did, however, you should find some information about that on the internet.

Try Hot Shot. I was staying with a friend and they had them. I spent money on this product. It did not help at all. I still got bit. Also watched the bugs crawl as if nothing was there. As the $30 no chemical solution was a waste to. They actually became immune to it. Bst bet from my friend who owned a store is to but Hot shot bombs for bed bugs. I know hey sell them at Walmart. Also I worked in a hotel and besides using expensive heat treatment us houseman had to steam mattresses with an iron which is very effective.

James, It has bagworms on the label and in our experience, timely applications will work well for this pest. The key is to get them early in the season and stay on them. In other words, don't treat once and expect that will do the job for the season.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

Yes, we have had some horrible infestations in our rental properties. So I have only used this with other means. Make sure you put borax along run sites, under fridge, anywhere they have to pass to get to food source. Then we make sure all food cleaned up under fridge, stove, around toliets ect. Then I put drops of this where there nest are which usually is in kitchen. They track borax to nest which kills babies and the poison kills them. Drastic measures if bad infestation. Hope this helps. I have never had to reapply poison by doing this. But if this doesn't work it could be the neighbors house. I've seen this as well that's a whole nother ball game!
