When it comes to pest control, Malathion is a popular choice for homeowners and professionals alike. But how do you properly mix and apply it to get the best results? The U.S. EPA Pesticide Product Label for MALATHION 5 - [ORTHO MAX Malathion Insect Spray Concentrate] provides clear instructions to help ensure effective and safe use.
Before mixing Malathion, it's important to determine the appropriate dilution rate for the site and pest you're targeting. The label provides a chart that lists various pests, such as ants, and the corresponding dilution rates. For ants, the label recommends using 1.5-2.0 fluid ounces of concentrate per gallon of water. This should be enough to treat 1,000 square feet of surface area.
Once you've determined the appropriate dilution rate, you can mix the Malathion concentrate with water. Always start with a clean sprayer tank and fill it with half the required amount of water. Then, with the agitator running, add the specified amount of Malathion concentrate as the final ingredient. Fill the rest of the tank with water to the desired level and continue to agitate the mixture until it's well-blended.
When applying Malathion, it's important to wear the appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, eye protection, and a respirator if needed. Apply the mixture using a sprayer or other appropriate equipment, targeting the areas where the pests are most active. Be sure to follow any additional safety precautions listed on the label, such as avoiding spraying near bodies of water or when winds are high.
