I just got mad and did that to my whole property (0.6 acre) with a 15gal pull behind sprayer and upgraded pump like five minutes ago. Everything is soaked but flies are still bugging me and I’ve seen a couple mosquitoes since. Maybe I don’t have to worry about ants or spiders or anything for a few weeks.
Anyone tried a cheap fogger like DIY or sniper or that $100 2 stroke backpack on Ali Express?

you’ve already done it and you’re now asking if it’s “OK”?
What are you going to do if it’s “not OK”?

You understand that insects are mobile, right? You know that most of them fly and move around a bunch. I guess your goal is to immediately kill anything that gets close to your property?

Bugs can make you get bugged sometimes.
Just wondering if something like may have negative consequences.

spraying only lasts so long. I built a levee around my house that every Summer I close the drainpipe and flood about 12" deep with mix of .04% Sofulsctiean 5.7% Meanopatheaon and .9% Ectocumoulsirean.

this keeps my yard bug free and beautiful for the rest of the year. I'll take some pics and post them when I get back from the drs office for this weird lymph node issue I've been having.

I would say, “no.”

0.3% is fine. Next time add 1oz of mineral oil per gallon of water as well. The oil will help it last longer than just with water alone.
