Default Re: Any bug experts?

Cover yard in black plastic for 2 weeks in the middle of summer and you will kill everything. Otherwise, the pesticide granules do a very good job in your yard.

Chemically, you are looking for something like lambda or gamma cyhalothrin or possibly bifenthrin. If you weren't renting the home I would suggest something long term like tweeking the soil environment to discourage fleas.


I test pesticides for the University of Florida.
