I want to just do my own pest control. I have Talastar P. Is that enough to spray my eves and outside? Do I need something else? I have boric acid in my walls, do I need to spray inside as well? Do you spray monthly?

I use one drop out of a syringe. Your dogs are a little larger though. For more accurate dosing you can mix it with vegetable oil and refrigerate it. There are some dosage charts if you're doing this.

that's seems high as all hell. What % Ivermectin solution do you have? I'd give 1.2 CC for a 120 lb dog, this was the 1% Noromectin. He died at age 12 and was always heartworm negative. I got the dosage from a large animal vet who lived near me. Make sure you're not giving Ivermectin+.

There are a couple of breeds of dog (any type of collie is what I can think of off hand) that can't metabolize the ivermectin correctly so be careful.

That 1cc would likely be diluted 1part ivermectin and 30 parts carrier oil. 1cc of that mixture. Not straight ivermectin.

Did you edit your OP into a totally different question?

It was a 2 part question but I only got answers on the first question.

So I am hoping someone answers my 2nd question

I spray that shite everywhere. Can also use inside. Usually do every 3 months. Rain will kind of wash it away but it hasn't rained much.

Weird as frick edit, but I’ll help.

Yes, you spray it everywhere about every 60-90 days. Quarterly pest control is normal for a business so every 90 days. You just spray the perimeter outside of your house usually and then spray the perimeter of your interior around the baseboards. Takes 10 mins or so.

I spray 25 gallons of bifen xts every 60 days. That's a full 3ft perimeter soaking. All eaves. All corners. And all stained wood.

Once a year instead of spraying a .06% solution I spray a 1% solution.



It may be restricted now, I get it delivered from solutionsstores.com

Man, unless you have some huge building, that seems really overkill. My 4 gallon backpack sprayer covers all of my eaves, corners, porch floors and overhangs, garage doors, and base perimeter and my house is 5000sqft total.

I have a 3-ft stone drip edge around the entire sitting area and house. So similar square footage but a wider path that I keep sprayed as a zone of death
