If it doesn’t rain like it was supposed to, is it okay to leave the granules until next rain? Or should I water them in? Trying to use natures sprinkler, but Florida is unpredictable. Basically want to know if the product is still at its strongest waiting there to be rained in or should I water it then.

[@TheALG]

You can wait until it rains. The problem comes in when it rains too much. There is always a chance of having the product wash away.

Need to keep everyone off the lawn until after you water in the product and/or it is allowed time to dry. Been treating my lawns in my old home and this new home for a combined 13 years. Never had any issues as long as the label is followed

[@TheALG]

That's a good question. The label says to avoid contact with pets until the product has dried. If it was a dog, I would say yes but after the insecticides has dried. I am not sure about rabbits. I also have rabbits in my area and they are still around after 5 years of treating my yard.

[@marilynpeoples5099]

Are these products safe to be used around pets?

[@TheALG]

Keep pets away when applying but after you water in? You must allow the product to dry before pets can reenter the area.

[@Carmen_say_what_nails]

Great video. We recently got a greyhound and he loves running and playing fetch. We live in FL and have bug problems. We want to use the Bug be gone granulates to get rid of the ticks. Can it harm my dog since he is constantly running and fetching his toys?

I also have a dog. You just have to keep the dog away for a bit after you water in the product and it has time to dry. I personally send my dog to daycare for half a day when I am doing treatments like this.

7pm, I enjoy watching your videos. The content you cover is usually something that helps me. I had success keeping the bugs and flies away for two summers. This year there has been so much rain that the granular and hose application are not working. Any suggestions?

[@TheALG]

I do notice reduced effectiveness due to rain. I reapply liquid hose ends, usually after 2 or 3 heavy rainfalls. I can't officially recommend what I am doing because I am technically over applying but this has worked for me.

Great video! I have avoided my backyard since I got my home 9 years ago. I have a large oak tree directly behind my home right in front of the patio. Good for shade and privacy but has become a luxury resort for all kinds of things. Spiders lizards gnats flies squirrels snakes. I just want to enjoy my backyard now. What are your recommendations for getting rid of my backyard zoo and not have to cut the tree down. Thank you in advance for any help you can give. 😊. NEW SUBBIE!!

[@TheALG]

Thanks for watching Charlotte. You appear to have a cycle of life in your backyard and the goal is to break that cycle. If you aim to o ly get rid of the bugs, the lizards and other bug eaters will go away. Work on spraying the tree and surrounding area with a product like Sevin for example. It is safe to apply on your tree. Spray at the base and go as high up as possible. More than one application will be needed. There's not much you can do for the lizards but getting rid of their food source will force the lizards to move on. Make sure you apply pesticides on your lawn and foundation. You don't want to force the bugs to move towards your house. I hope this helps. Just to give you an idea, I have dealt with the same issue and I found once the bugs are gone, all other unwanted pest will over time go away.

[@godchild1271]

The Average Lawn Guy Awesome!! Thank you for your prompt response. I am definitely going to try this. I’ll be back with an update.

[@ibrahime3194]

Im not sure how safe it is to spray all that on your outside AC unit and patio furniture. Thats why i hate gatherings 😬

[@Chimonya]

It's cheaper to just buy a product like Bifenthrin XTS and a cheap gallon sprayer. For that $50 you'll be able to treat your yard 40 times instead of once. For another $90 you can get a gallon of imidacloprid which will treat your yard for subsurface bugs like grubs 100 times.

[@TheALG]

You are 100% right. That's what the pros and people like you and me do. A regular homeowner, new to lawn care, won't do that early in the game. At least not until they get comfortable with the basics first.

[@Ricebow11]

When using the bug seeds, can you always use weed and feed or malorganite and etc the same time or is that too much for same day?

[@TheALG]

Yes, you can always apply all those at the same time. They don't interact with each other. I would only use caution when its really hot, like over 85 degrees with weed &feed or any chemical fertilizer. I once used an insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer and preemergent on the same day without any issues.

[@Ricebow11]

@The Average Lawn Guy if your already using the granular for bugs and etc, would you also use the hose end sprayers too, same time? And are these safe if sprayed or seed on edible vegetables, plants and etc

[@TheALG]

Normally no but I have used granular and if I see i am having a bad infestation, I will spray over the lawn about 2 weeks later. I try to not use the products with the same active ingredients if I do this double treatment.

[@Andy-im3kj]

Going to try this for this summer because I have been dealing with bugs especially flies and mosquitos for too long. It doesn't help that my neighbors live right next door to me and they have dogs that poop all over their yard and they don't clean right away. Hope this helps...

If you do everything exactly how I described, flies won't be a problem. The fly trap is super effective and spraying the liquid every 2 to 3 months really helps.

Do these kill gnats? We have so many outside the house

[@TheALG]

I believe sevin hose end spray would be your best best. Just check the back of the label to make sure. You may have an underlying issue because gnats are attracted to moisture and decaying matter. Double check your watering or try to see if you can fix any drainage issues you may have. Hope this helps.

Flies are very annoying. What I do is a combination of spray insecticide with the fly traps and that usually brings down the population by a good portion. I also use water in ziploc bags, this gives off a reflection that the flies seem to hate and stay away. I have no scientific proof the ziploc works but its worth a try, it might help you. Try putting the bags around areas you hang out.
