Insecticides are specialized substances used to repel, control or exterminate unwanted insects. They are available in many forms, including sprays, powders, aerosols, baits, granules and concentrates. The right product depends on the insect, the location of the infestation and the type of control needed.
Homeowners, property owners, farmers and ranchers should use insecticides carefully and always follow the manufacturer's label directions. Treatment is often most effective when insect activity is identified early. Preventive measures in early spring or late fall can also help reduce future pest problems, depending on the insect and product.
Before applying an insecticide, identify the pest and determine whether treatment is necessary. Many insects play beneficial roles in agriculture and the environment. Whenever possible, combine sanitation, exclusion, habitat reduction and targeted insect control to manage pest populations responsibly.
One Pest Problem. Many Applications.
Insects can create problems inside buildings, around foundations, throughout lawns and landscapes, near livestock facilities and across agricultural properties.
Effective pest management begins by understanding where insects are active, what attracts them and how they are entering or reproducing.
Insect Management Inside the Home
Indoor insect control starts with prevention. Keep kitchens and food-storage areas clean, remove food sources, manage trash, correct moisture problems and seal cracks, gaps and other potential entry points. These simple steps can help reduce the conditions that attract household pests.
When insects become established inside the home, proper identification is important. Common household pest concerns include ants, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes and bed bugs. Depending on the pest, control may involve an aerosol, spray, bait, trap or another appropriately labeled insecticide.
Indoor insecticides should be used only according to the product label. Pay particular attention to directions involving food-preparation areas, children, pets, ventilation, treated surfaces and re-entry.
Ant Control
Identify entry points and food sources, then use an appropriately labeled control product.
Cockroach Control
Reduce food, moisture and hiding areas while targeting active pest areas.
Fly Control
Combine sanitation, exclusion and traps or labeled insect control products.
Bed Bug Management
Identify the infestation and follow the product label for the appropriate application.
Outdoor Insect Control for Lawns & Landscapes
Outdoor insects can affect turf, ornamental plants, gardens, patios, foundations and recreational areas. Lawn insect control may be needed for pests living in turf or soil, while other insects may be active on plants, around structures or in areas where people spend time outdoors.
All-Tex carries products suited to a variety of outdoor pest management applications, including mosquito control, fire ant control, lawn insect control, landscape pest control and fly management.
Sprayers, concentrates, granular insecticides, baits and traps each have different applications. Select products according to the pest, treatment area and label requirements.
Pest Management for Farms, Ranches & Barns
Agricultural and rural properties face insect challenges that can be very different from those found inside a home. Barns, livestock areas, feed areas, agricultural buildings, equipment areas and ranch properties can attract flies, mosquitoes, ants and other unwanted insects.
Effective farm and ranch pest management combines sanitation, exclusion, habitat reduction and appropriately labeled insect control products. Reducing breeding and feeding areas can be just as important as treating active insect populations.
All-Tex offers products for a variety of agricultural, ranch, livestock-area and structural pest management applications. Always verify that a product is labeled for the intended pest, site and application.
Fly Control Around Farms, Barns & Properties
Flies can become persistent around barns, livestock areas, waste, feed, garbage and other organic material. Successful fly management often requires more than a single treatment.
Reduce breeding areas and sanitation problems while using appropriately labeled traps, baits or insecticides as part of an overall fly control and pest management program.
