Are you spending more time swatting mosquitoes than enjoying the flowers? Ortho® MAX® Malathion Insect Spray Concentrate can help rid your yard and garden of many listed nuisance insects. Malathion kills mosquitoes, scales, Japanese beetles, whiteflies, red spider mites, spruce mites, tarnished plant bugs, lacebugs, and more (as listed). This insect killer can be used outdoors on ornamentals, roses, flowers, shrubs, trees, fruits, citrus, and vegetables at the first sign of insect damage. Thoroughly apply the spray to the affected plants and shrubs so that both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves are covered. You should also be sure to spray any other infested parts of the plant. Use an Ortho® Dial N Spray® applicator or a tank sprayer to apply. Each 32-oz. bottle makes up to 96 gal. of spray. It's an economical way to get insect protection. Following the application, do not allow people or pets to enter treated area until the sprays have dried.
