It also has a spray wand, which makes it easy to walk around and spray without having to bend over. So, it's simple to use, and it's effective.”

“A lot of clients come in to buy this to steer clear of mosquitos, and it does keep them away. It holds for up to 12 weeks, so it can even last you all summer. It keeps you safe from more than just mosquitos, it also gets rid of other bugs too,” Hagan said.
Spectracide Triazicide for Lawns
This formula kills more than 100 different types of insects, so it can be used in multiple environments without worrying about whether the bugs there can withstand the bug control. This is distributed as a pellet, rather than a spray, and seeps into the ground without causing any damage to your lawn or your family members who play on it.

“If you're looking for a dust type bug killer that's non-liquid, this one is a good choice. It's effective and has got very nice reviews,” Hagan said.

This spray can be safely used on larger plants like fruit trees or vegetable crops. It can be sprayed on right up until harvest time. A 32 oz. bottle offers three months of full protection against a wide range of bugs and insects.

“This item's claim to fame is that it's harmless to spray around your backyard garden and fruits and veggies, up until they’re ripe. So, I'd say if you're big on gardening and harvesting your own fruits and veggies, this could be your option,” Hagan said.
