in my home garden, due to a lot of plants, there are a lot of mosquitoes, i know i could just use bug zapper at places but still it is a risk sleeping out in my garden or having dates in the garden and spending a lot of time in the garden, can i regularly spray Anti-Mosquito#92;Mosquito Killer Sprays on plants to get rid of mosquitoes? will it be bad for plants?will it also be bad for the vegetables those plants are producing?is there any other way to get rid of mosquitoes from garden?
just check the can :_ but no should be fine. they're to kill mosquitos and only mosquitos so would be bad if they could kill plants.
Mat is correct as far as Roundup is concerned. It is safe to use on weeds in lawns because it clings to the leaves of the weeds and doesn't get deposited in the soil. Now if you need to kill an area again to get rid of stubborn weeds, don't use chemicals. Plain old white vinegar will do the job, but it requires a lot. Let the weeds curl up and die from the vinegar, then water the soil well 2 or 3 times over the course of a week. You can replant after that. White vinegar will also kill ant hills as well as gasoline does, but the soil recovers Use it to kill the weeds in your sidewalk, too.
Hello Moon, My name is Gardengail and I work for the home depot in the garden center. Spraying a plant with an insecticide meant for the air is not a good idea, check the instructions on the back. Malathion is a good mosquito spray that works well in gardens. Using a bug zapper would help extend the effectiveness of the spray. Are these mosquitoes biting you? there is a large bug that is called a mosquito hawk that looks like a mosquito that is common to lawns that is non-biting. Spraying vegetables with a spray not designed for them is a really bad idea. Check the labels on the backs of the bottles of spray you use. Also check for puddles and birdbaths, the mosquitoes will hatch within a few days, dump the water out. Hope this helps, Gardengail
