The most effective way to eliminate and repel mosquitoes is to use a combination of tactics and products. One unconventional but highly effective approach combines synthetic insecticide’s benefits with a quick-knockdown-and-kill botanical insecticide that delivers a “one-two punch” to mosquitoes. This combination delivers maximum results by providing rapid flushing and knockdown, thanks to the botanical product’s fast action and strong repellency, along with the residual control of a pyrethroid product. In addition, tank-mixing a botanical insecticide with pyrethroid treatments extends the residual activity compared to using one of these products alone.

It is important to remember that when tank-mixing a botanical with a synthetic product, always follow the more restrictive synthetic label.
