If you mean the chemical, Malathion(Bonide). Instant kill and somewhat more selective than other insecticides- wont kill bees etc. as long you dont spray directly on flowering plants. It does not leave a long lasting residual, but the objective is to kill every adult you can NOW and stunt the next cycle. Just be sure it doesn't rain for a few days for best results. I have a backpack sprayer with a 2-cycle engine. You can use a pump-up garden sprayer if you don't have a lot of vegetation to spray. I am in the woods so I need serious hardware lol.

Sounds effective. Looks like about 1" in the normal gauge here so far. The electric Davis is stuck with a pollen/crud clog again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Vp2 is clogged so not sure total but creeks are pretty high here Yeah it has really filled in nicely on radar compared to when I made that post. At least there was a break so I got out for an hour to pull weeds. Easy when the soil is saturated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They grow prolifically. I just have "certain places" I don't want them. Driveway, mulched areas, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Rainy Sunday just the way I like them. I have had over 2.5" since yesterday evening, will measure later. Good day just to chill. Speaking of chill, temp down to 55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 55 here and pouring. Considering I had less than a tenth of an inch of rain for this event when I woke up early this am, the 1.15" currently is pretty impressive. It is also enough. Ready for it to end. eta- looks like the total will be 1.4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Yeah, it didn't seem like it was raining for as much as it was puddleing. This happened last Summer and Fall, and was the first time since the 1990s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Got 1.4 yesterday, total for May of 2.0. I just planted a bunch of flowers and it was MUD! I hope they live but I don't want to wait for some unicorn dry period. This is the last 365 days -- isn't our normal rainfall about 40-45 inches per year? ENOUGH!!!

Jebman Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Coupla days ago, strong Texas thunderstorm moved thru Buda. Red radar signature. Gusty winds to 40 mph. Absolute whiteout and very very dangerous lightning! Got 6 inches in three hours. The storm slowed down over us and dumped and dumped. The entire back yard was a lake, lol.

frd Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Temps are nice, but the cloud cover is a bit depressing. Seems a lot of cloudy days the last month. Was going to plant on the garden, but will wait yet another day. Very wet soil still despite the warmth of yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
